DMDs, Drops And Other Things I Wonder About In Golf

July 20, 2017 By Michael Schurman

The R&A and the USGA have announced a series of proposed changes to the Rules of Golf, to be implemented on Jan 1, 2019. We must also consider that various organizations have their own rules for their events. For example, the PGA Tour is only testing the use of distance measuring devices during play at […]

Tiger’s Game Definitely Had An Impact On The Game, But What’s Its Legacy?

July 13, 2017 By Michael Schurman

Time does two things. It erodes memories and it expands memories. Lots of guys I went to school with who played Junior A or B hockey have somehow had tryouts with NHL teams. I don’t remember that happening, but then I’m a candidate for an eroded memory. Remembering numbers, dates and times, I’ll still compete […]

Mixed Gender Olympic Golf Would Be An Interesting Concept

July 6, 2017 By Michael Schurman

First, let me say I am extremely appreciative of the fact that golf was included in the 2016 Olympics and is scheduled to carry forward at least until the 2024 Games. Last week, the International Olympic Committee announced mixed-gender relays in swimming, track and triathlon; mixed team events in archery, judo and mixed doubles in […]

U.S. Open Was Fun To Watch, But Didn’t Have A Grow The Game Message

June 22, 2017 By Michael Schurman

It becomes increasingly more difficult to figure out the message conveyed by the USGA as it presents the U.S. Open. The sites they have chosen recently are Chambers Bay, Oakmont and this year at Erin Hills and in 2018 Shinnecock Hills, then Pebble Beach and on to Winged Foot. They all seem to have a […]

Do Fans Spill Drinks Rushing To Call In An Infraction? We Do Need To Get It Right, Though

June 15, 2017 By Michael Schurman

What do Tiger Woods, Paul Azinger, Craig Stadler, Dustin Johnson, Lexi Thompson, Michelle Wei and others all have in common? They are victims of fans calling in to report a rules infraction and there are various opinions on this matter. Most people either don’t understand how such a thing can take place or they support […]

Mystique Is Important In Defining A Major Championship

June 8, 2017 By Michael Schurman

One of the surest bets in golf comes when posing the question “Can you name the four major championships in golf’s Grand Slam?” Of course, the answer is next week’s U.S. Open, the Masters, the PGA Championship and the Open Championship. Wrong. The correct answer is the U.S. Open, the British Open, the U.S. Amateur […]

A Few Thoughts On The Greatest Accomplishments Of All Time In Golf …

June 1, 2017 By Michael Schurman

Once upon a time, a bunch of guys were sitting around a table in the locker room at a really nice country club. A TV glowed in the corner adjacent to numerous oak panels with polished brass name plates, signifying various championships won by club members over the years. Alongside those listing the member’s accomplishments […]

Sure, Golf’s A Sport, But It’s Also A Community

May 25, 2017 By Michael Schurman

Golf is a sport. You hold a club, set it behind a ball, turn away and swing down and whack! Repeat the process until you can entice the ball to fall into a hole. Some people become highly skilled enough to get paid to do it, but the majority of us just become skilled, but […]

Questions That Amuse And Confuse Come To Mind When I’m Not Playing The Game

May 18, 2017 By Michael Schurman

As we enter a new season, a few things have occurred to me during our forced hibernation. I’m sure you are no different than I am when it comes to thinking about golf during the off-season – thoughts of warm sunny days, blue skies and emerald fairways dancing in our heads. However, I also think […]

Life Moves So Quickly Nowadays, But We Still Complain About Slow Play

May 11, 2017 By Michael Schurman

Slow play is like the weather – everybody complains about it, but nobody does anything. The problem of slow play was never a major issue before either 1947 or 1953. The first televised golf tournament was the U.S Open held at the St Louis Country Club when Lew Worsham defeated Sam Snead in a playoff, […]
