Including Females In The Presidents Cup Would Have Several Benefits

September 28, 2017 By Michael Schurman

Everyone talks about growing the game, but rarely does anyone have an idea that would make a significant difference or isn’t already being done. I think one way would be to include women in the Presidents Cup. These matches began as a made-for-TV take-off on the Ryder Cup. It was an attempt to showcase/appease the […]

Golden Rules Needed In Transforming Golf From Green To Brown

September 21, 2017 By Michael Schurman

Much has been written and discussed about how modern equipment has changed the game. Often, there is talk about the days of wooden-headed woods and balata golf balls and many go so far as to recall wooden-shafted clubs. They yearn for the days of delicate little bump-and runs and greens that stimp at eight or […]

Weather Reports Kept Many Golfers Guessing In 2017

September 14, 2017 By Michael Schurman

I recall clearly my first season as the director of golf at the Board of Trade Country Club in Woodbridge, Ont. Everyone was excited to implement the efforts of the committees who had spent all winter planning member events for the upcoming season. Naturally, when the boss is new, so are many of the staff […]

Random Thoughts And Observations On People And Issues In Golf

September 7, 2017 By Michael Schurman

I guess I just can’t help myself when it comes to golf, but there are certain things I notice that I just don’t understand. To help figure them out, I made a list so whenever I’ve got nothing to do I can get it out and read and ponder it. Why do tour players who […]

A Co-Ed Presidents Cup Is One Way To Help Boost Profile Of Women’s Professional Golf

August 31, 2017 By Michael Schurman

It seems as though the sport of golf is always facing controversy. We read in the media about golf courses being built in areas that some feel compromise the environment. Some are built on open land with walking paths the public has used for years without objection from the owners until they wish to sell. […]

Major Championships Are Not The Best Place To Introduce Someone To Golf

August 28, 2017 By Michael Schurman

At which end of the spectrum are major championships when it comes to growing the game? If a golfer decided to extend an invitation to a non-golfer in the hope that a certain activity might entice the uninitiated to take-up’ the game, would a major championship be the ideal place? In fact, inviting a non-golfer […]

The Only Rule In Getting Kids Started Should Be No Rules, Just Fun

August 23, 2017 By Michael Schurman

Everyone knows about the secret tunnels and storage rooms under the Vatican, where thousands of historic documents are kept in archives, but only an extremely limited few ever are granted the privilege of handling and/or reading them. Only those included in the inner sanctum are allowed. Some would say that golf has a hierarchy or […]

Golf’s Future Would Be Brighter If It Went Back To Its Artistic Past

August 10, 2017 By Michael Schurman

Any time a group of golfers/golf administrators assembles, there is the inevitable discussion about the state of the game. This year’s conversations have been focused on the weather. In Southern Ontario, not only is the number of rainy days an issue, the amount of rainfall is too. Recently, a course near our home, Pike Lake […]

Part Of Being Great Is Catching Great Breaks

August 3, 2017 By Michael Schurman

I probably won’t get enjoy the opportunity to meet Jordan Spieth. I’m retired and I just don’t travel in those circles anymore. However, seeing and listening to him on TV makes me think there isn’t a person alive who wouldn’t instantly like him. He is clean-cut, well spoken, polite, respectful, intelligent and articulate. He is […]

You Can’t Teach Or Learn “It” … You Either Have “It” Or You Don’t

July 27, 2017 By Michael Schurman

I love to hear stories about the “old days”, how things used to be and debate as to whether or not a certain player would lead the PGA Tour money list if he/she could play with today’s equipment. First, let me state right off the top that any person who won and was a champion […]
