The Clicgear Cart is, as its website says, “the original compact three-wheel  golf pushcart.”   The Clicgear Cart won the 2007 Best New Product Award at the PGA Merchandise Show, providing a terrific promotional boost.  The cart has great word of mouth, too.  Two of my regular playing partners swear by it, in part because it’s easier to push a cart than to pull one, ...

With even the briefest glimpse of a golf course it's easy tell whether you're in the hands of a master architect and whether he was given good or great land and ample artistic license to perform his work.  Tom Fazio's The National at Reynolds Plantation checks off all the boxes.  In fact, Fazio says of the The National, I got excited because from the first ...

While others pursue various conservative programs to make golf faster and more fun and thus attract scads of new players-- programs such as Barney Adams's Tee It Forward,  the PGA of America's Golf 2.0 (wonder how many consultants were paid to come up with THAT name) or Play Golf America's cringe-worthy  Get Golf Ready-- I've created an initiative of my own that will make the ...

It's nearly game day and I've just taken a look at the opposition's line-up. Bob Cupp.  Jim Engh.  Rees Jones.  Jack Nicklaus.  Tom Fazio.  Those are the golf course architects I'll be facing off against next week at the renowned Reynolds Plantation golf resort, an hour from Atlanta in Greensboro, Georgia. It's like pitching against the 1927 Yankees. There are any number of ways to plan a sensible ... Read more

I've been to the Palm Springs area several times during the past two decades, for a family-oriented Thanksgiving weekend, for a friend's 60th birthday and on a couple of short golf/business trips.  However, after seven rounds of golf in five days, evenings spent at several of the most distinctive  restaurants in the Coachella Valley, getting a massage at Two Bunch Palms and watching Kessler and ...

Today the Golf Road Warriors had a remarkable day on the Indian Wells Golf Resort's Player's Course.  Joined by a couple of colleagues from the Palm Springs Convention and Visitors Authority and one of the young professionals from Indian Wells, we went out in two carts.  As is custom, we headed out in our sponsored AUR shirts that were packed in our TravelPro Luggage, Callaway ...

The Palm Springs Golf Road Warrior’s Friday started not long after dawn, with the links portion of the day ending on a nearly pitch black 18th green, illuminated only by the light of a crescent moon.  For the first of two rounds, we were treated to Shadow Ridge, one of the best designs from six-time major championship winner and the all-time Ryder Cup point scorer, ...

I believe it was Clint Eastwood who said that a man gets to know the limitations of his buddies through playing golf, an aphorism that never more true than during a week-long trip to a place like Palm Springs.  Now, these are people I'd gladly spend more time with,  at dinners like we had at the excellent IW Club in Indian Wells.  And during the ...
