HELLO, AGAIN, STEVEN:

AS USUAL, YOU ARE 'RIGHT ON THE MONEY' WITH YOUR DESCRIPTION OF TW AND LEFT. WE ALWAYS PULL FOR LEFT, UNLESS HE AND TW ARE CLOSE IN SCORES, THEN WE HAVE TO PULL FOR OUR MAN, TIGER.

WHAT I WONDER, AND I AM SURE PHIL AND MANY OTHERS HAVE WONDERED ABOUT THIS, TOO;

'JUST HOW GREAT COULD PHIL HAVE BECOME, IF HE HAD PLAYED "RIGHT HANDED"?

WARMEST REGARDS,

NEVADA WOLF

P.S. YES, I ENJOY 'MARCH MADNESS', A LITTLE, BUT SINCE OUR LOCAL 'U.N.R. WOLF PACK' DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE NCAA TOURNAMENT(UTAH ST. BEAT THEM, FOR THE W.A.C. CHAMPIONS), I LOST A LOT OF MY INTEREST.

STEVEN, YOU ARE RIGHT, AGAIN, REGARDING THE THINGS YOU WILL AND NOT MISS---BUT--

REGARDING JOHN DALY;

ISN'T THERE SOMEONE IN THE PGA THAT MIGHT DO THE 'ENTIRE GOLF GAME SOME GOOD' AND HELP 'BIG JOHN' BACK INTO 'REALITY'?

I BELIEVE, THE PGA NEEDS NOT ONLY A 'TIGER WOODS', PHIL MICKLESON, ETC., BUT IT, ALSO

NEEDS A 'DUFFER'S MAN', LIKE 'BIG JOHN'! HE IS A GOLF, THAT MOST WEEKEND GOLFERS CAN RELATE TO, IN THAT HE IS KNOWN TO--

DRINK BEER--

SMOKE--

LIKES TO PLAY "IN COMFORTABLE CLOTHING(OR LACK OF)--

JOHN CAN BE A GOOD GOLFER, ALSO, IF HE CAN JUST 'WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES', AS THE EXPRESSION GOES.

THE LPGS WILL SURLY MISS MS. SORENSON, AND I WILL, TOO!

WARMEST REGARDS,

It sounds like you have a great group of golf buddies. It makes me miss the guys I used to play with back when I lived in Hamilton. None of us were very good and they were all a good 10 years younger than me, but we had a lot of fun together.

Since I've moved I haven't found a group to play with yet, but I hope that I'll be able to get a Dr. E, a Dr. Dick and a good Murph -- I'll be the Dr. Ron 8=)

re: 8 Ways to Become a Better Golfer

LoneWolf — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 01:31:19 GMT

Wonderful advice Steve. I feel that #1 and #8 are probably the most important on the list.

#2 is a tough one for some of us though. It is hard enough to justify the money we spend on equipment and green fees to add lessons on top. However, I would love to be able to have a swing coach someday. It is important that they are able to adapt your swing to you though, and not try to force you into some other mold.

I'm glad that I came across your blog. I'm hoping to find more interesting articles as I work though the archives!

PLEASE, STEVE, PASS ON TO CINDY, OUR WARMEST SYMPATHY and BEST WISHES, IN THE DEATH OF HER FATHER.

MY WIFE and I, HAVE LOST BOTH SETS of our DEAR PARENTS, and we know IT IS HARD, to not have them around, BUT TIME DOES HEAL, SOME OF ONES HURT AND SADNESS. OUR FOND MEMORIES, ALSO, HELPS US, SINCE WE CAN FEEL THEIR PRESENSE, it seems, anyway.

Steve, YOU HAVE OUR VOTE, (MY WIFE and I)for PRESIDENT of the USGA!

I CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND, 'WHY PEOPLE IN POWER', HARDLY EVER, SEEM TO BE BORN WITH "COMMON SENSE of FAIR PLAY!"

EVERY 'PET PEEVE' YOU MENTIONED, IF ELIMATED, OR at least CHANGED, FOR THE BETTER, WOULD MAKE PLAYING GOLF, ANYWHERE, MORE SATISFYING and ENJOYABLE!

I SAY, BORN WITH COMMON SENSE, BECAUSE, I TRYLY BELIEVE, "COMMON SENSE" IS ONE THING, YOU CAN NOT BE TAUGHT!

LUCKILY, FOR US THAT LOVE GOLF, YOU WERE BORN WITH COMMON SENSE, AND HAVE A POSITION, THAT ALLOWS YOU TO "TRY" AND POINT OUT, TO THE USGA, AND OTHER GOLFERS, "SOME SENSE and FAIR PLAY", AS THEY PURSUE THE OLD SCOTTISH GAME ON THE LINKS.

KEEP AT IT, PLEASE.

WARMEST REGARDS,

re: Pressing Questions About Tour Golf

Golf Addict — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 20:15:58 GMT

The best memory for me was the US Ryder Cup winning without Tiger Woods.

I look forward to seeing how Tiger comes back after cleaning up, meaning getting off of HGH or what ever he was talking all those years. Funny how he takes off until next year when testing is going to get rolling, oh and the Commish protecting his money maker by testing the gals first.

re: Making The Cup a Success

andybrowngolf — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 02:17:37 GMT

I think to start with we must compliment the organisers for one thing they got rite with the Ryder Cup. Somebody was kind enough to go whack Tiger Woods with a golf club in the knee to bring in some real competition into the FedEx Cup this year. The other thing that they obviously corrected was the way they remitted the money to the player’s Swiss bank account. Now I hope they do some fancy thing like hand over 6 suitcases full of that money on the 18th Green to Vijay Singh.

I guess the good things end there. But if last year is proof enough then we can say that Mr Tim Finchem is not averse to positive criticism so he will give it some good thought.

I think the best idea to have come out is to do something like the ADT Championship on the LPGA. Nothing better than having a few guys slug it out over the last 18 holes trying to pocket a cool 10 million dollars. There could be nothing better than that for television viewership. That is the only way you going to make it last till the very end. Something definitely has to be done about taking the whole season into account instead of just the four playoffs. It requires a little more thought but I think a perfect product can be worked out.

re: The Good-bye, The Sorry and The Amazing

Nevada Wolf — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:48:27 GMT

Now, Steven, here is where my wife and I strongly disagree with you!---REGARDING--Michele Wie!

Can't you see, that this young girl, will someday, chalange TW in a head-to-head tournament, in a similar manner that TW and Sergio did, a few months ago? Michele is gaining more and more confidence and getting more and more used to the spot light, crowds, TV cameras, fans screaming and following her, everywhere she goes, in the same manner that TW did, as he came on the scene! If you remember, Steven, TW did not make the cut, on the first one or two professional tournaments, he played in, with a Sponsors Exemption, and he was older than Michele, at the time? Let's give her a little slack, and appreciate the Sponsors that give her an exemption to play 'with the big boys', because, in our opinion, that is where she belongs, because she can hit the ball further than a lot of the PGA men can and once she gets her short game and putting under control, you will see, just how good she is!

Quoting an old expression, 'GO GIRL!"

Warmest regards,

Nevada Wolf

re: The Good-bye, The Sorry and The Amazing

Nevada Wolf — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:38:40 GMT

Yes, Steven, I agree with you, 100%, regarding Annika!

All of golf, will miss her beautiful face and GREAT SWING and OVERALL WONDERFUL GOLF! My wife and I, always tried to watch the LPGA, when she was playing, even if we had to switch back and fourth, if her tournament happened to compete with waht was on another channel, at the same time. Annika, like many other women and men golfers, before her, has helped pro-golf stay a very popular form of TV entertainment.

Many women golfers, in the LPGA benefit, from the way Annika handled herself, on and off the golf course.

THANK YOU, ANNIKA, AND CLARA AND I HOPE, YOU ENJOY YOUR, WELL EARNED RETIREMENT!

Warmest regards,

Nevada Wolf

I believe, we will see a lot more of Jeffrey Edelman, in the future, playing golf, on a weekend, in some PGA sponsored tournament! This young man, clearly has his priorities straight in his mind, but his love of golf, will bring him back to practicing and playing better and better, once his college career is behind him. GOOD LUCK TO YOU, JEFFREY! Our country, needs more young people, such as you.

Thank you, Steven, for bringing this information about this great American, to our attention!

Warmest regards,

Nevada Wolf

re: 2010 Changes

Nevada Wolf — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:16:00 GMT

Thanks, Steven, for giving us the info., on the upcoming changes, in the PGA , as to the tour players hitting out of the rough. Yes, the changes will make a difference, but as the saying goes, "the cream will come up to the surface." What I mean is, 'the tour player, playing the best golf, over four days, will still win, no matter what rules the PGA or a particular tournament passes. In my opinion, TW would win a golf tournament, if he, and all others, had to use nothing but, say 'a five iorn', on every shot, including putting. (I read, somewhere, that Lee Treveno did just that, as a way to earn money and be able to play the 'exclusive golf courses', around the border towns of Texas. I believe, he won most of the time, using that five iron, too, because, 'he was the best golfer in that foursome!".

Thanks, also, for the info. on TW, that I had not heard about. I think, TW will come back, when he is ready, and be a better golfer, than he was before, if that is possible.

Warmest regards,

N evada Wolf

Its nice to see there are still young people out there who have some standards. I love the game of golf and would love to have been able to play it for a living but at what expense does this happen. God Bless you young man for thinking of your family and your education first. May you have everything you want out of life.

re: Random thoughts waiting for my plane from Chicago...

Nevada Wolf — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 09:49:10 GMT

Steven, you had some interesting "Random Thoughts", while waiting for your plane.

YES! Clara and I miss TW, very much!!!! Please,

find out, "the truth", ON HOW HIS KNEE IS HEALING, AND IF, HE MIGHT RETURN TO THE PGA TOUR, BEFORE 2008 ENDS!

IN MY AGE BRACKET(69 THIS MONTH), I AM ALWAYS GLAD TO SEE ANY GOLFER, OVER 40 PLAY GOOD, AGAINST 'THOSE YOUNGSTERS'. LOL!

SPEAKING OF 'OLDER PGA PLAYERS', CLARA AND I ARE SURPRISED, MARK O'MEARA IS NOT WINNING SOME, ON THE 'CHAMPION'S TOUR'! WE MIGHT HAVE MISSED IT, IF HE HAS, SINCE WE WOULD HAVE, PROBABLY, BEEN WATCHING HIS GOOD FRIEND, TW GIVE ANOTHER LESSON, TO OTHER PGA PLAYERS.

KENNY PERRY IS A BETTER GOLFER, THAN HE HAS BEEN PLAYING, LATELY, AND I FEEL, HE WILL WIN SOME MORE SUNDAY'S, IN THE FUTURE. I AGREE WITH YOU, STEVEN, THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN HIS SPOT, TO ANOTHER DESERVING PGA PLAYER. POWERS-IN-CHARGE, DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE 'COMMON SENSE', NOR 'FAIR=PLAY' IN MIND, WHEN MAKING DECISIONS, I HAVE NOTICED, IN ALL FORMS OF SPORTS, BUSINESS, ETC., ETC.

WARMEST REGARDS,
