June 13, 2016 Lefty McDuff Comments 8 comments

Share:Greatest week in golf Blasphemy you say? Did I forget The Open Championship or The Masters? Of course not. Both are tournaments of the utmost importance. As an American though, the U.S. Open is the crown jewel. Routinely confounding the world’s best, the 116th edition should prove to be the ultimate test of golf. Plus it’s our national championship.

June 6, 2016 Lefty McDuff Comments 6 comments

Share:Walter Hagen : he might have said… First and foremost, Walter Hagen passed away in 1969 at the age of 76. In no way do I wish to tarnish his name or legacy.

Arnold Palmer stories : reliable American icon

May 20, 2016 Lefty McDuff Comments 8 comments

Share: The King What’s to be said about Arnold Palmer that hasn’t already been chronicled? Nothing, or rather nothing that will be groundbreaking. Simply put, this story only serves to highlight some of my favorite Arnie moments and accomplishments. Things that transformed him into the reliable American icon he is today. My foolish youth As a kid growing up in northwest Louisiana, sports were huge. Particularly football, my young life revolved around the game and the fate of the Dallas Cowboys….
