On & Off the Course

On & Off the Course: Distance devices have a place for golfers but old-fashioned practice is best

There are many factors that a golfer must consider when determining which club to use for a shot; lie of the ball, wind direction, objects or hazards that should be cleared, and, oh yeah, distance to the intended spot.....more>>

  • On and Off the Course: Original rules of golf have undergone changes
    In 1754 an event occurred which unknowingly would form a foundation of golf and how it is played to this day. The Gentlemen of Fife invited the Gentlemen Golfers of Leith to join them in forming the St. Andrews Society.

  • On and Off the Course: Covered bridges, travel and golf
    It’s Covered Bridge Festival time here in the Wabash Valley. Some visitors would probably rather spend some of these gorgeous fall days on a golf course than walking around shopping in the endless line of tents and displays at Mansfield and Bridgeton.

  • Groovy wedges: Possible rule changes keep spinning
    The USGA and the Royal and Ancient, through their distinctions of being the ruling bodies for the game of golf, have also been saddled with the burden or responsibility to protect the integrity of the game.

  • On and Off the Course: Weather can affect golf ball in different ways
    September is just about the best time of the year to play golf. Even though the calendar says it’s still summer, the cooler nights and blazing sunsets remind us more of autumn. We seem to have gotten past the scorching hot, humid days, and have entered a phase of gorgeous, low-humidity sunny days.

  • On and Off the Course: Injuries, recoveries and Solheim Cup
    The last month has been a tough one for my family. Life in general and golf specifically has been interrupted by injuries. I was out for about three weeks after having torn a tendon in my left calf while playing tennis (note: a big “Thank you!” to Beth Levin and Tia Bennett-Faro, who jumped to my aid immediately with an ice pack and an Ace bandage, that they happened to have handy.)

  • On and Off the Course: Does FedEx Cup keep
    Now that Tiger Woods has pronounced his 2007 season as “great” after his win at the steam bath that was The PGA Championship, is there anymore need to follow professional golf, or do we move onto football and to baseball as the pennant races heat up?

  • On and Off the Course: When did the Masters and PGA Championship become majors?
    When I begin working on one of these Sunday columns for the Tribune-Star, there is usually some amount of research I do to get me started, usually through the Internet but I also use magazines or books.

  • On and Off the Course: Pace of play shouldn’t be snail’s pace
    Golf is a wonderful game but it can be very trying. Not only is it often a daunting task to hit that little golf ball with accuracy and athleticism, sometimes your playing partners or competitors can make a round of golf about as much fun as getting your teeth pulled.

  • On and Off the Course: A devilishly good course In Indiana
    I can honestly say now that I’ve been to Purgatory and back, and it wasn’t as bad as, well, you know, that other place. In case you’re wondering, the Purgatory I’m referring to is the golf course of that name in Noblesville.
