Bob,
loved the site and the articles on the DR courses. Agree, you’re right on. The picture of the wedding on the beach was great. Will keep watching.

Comment on How Much Longer Will Crowds Watch Golf? by courtney

I’ve wondered that same thing for years now…but when I go to a live sporting event, I remember why it was such a ridiculous thing for me to wonder. The worst situation I have come across was NCAA basketball in a football stadium. However, regardless of the event, actually being there is special. And with golf, you will never run out of people wanting to spend a day out in the fresh air. Even if you can’t see every shot, the sundress scenery is more than worth the price of admission.

Comment on Willbrook: What Makes a Course Female-Friendly? by courtney

“Spousal equivalent” – once you get past the ridiculous politically correct overtones – that’s pretty funny !

Sounds like they did a nice job placing the forward tees at Willbrook. It can’t be easy trying to find a single set of tees to satisfy the skill levels of so many women.

It seems a little accusatory to suggest that golf courses intentionally hire only men as starters. Wouldn’t you need to find out how many women actually apply for the job of starter before making this statement ?

Can’t we come up with a gender-neutral name for the red tees? Examples:
The Special Tee
The Sweet Tee
The Tee Short
The Frail Tee

Comment on PGA Championship Blog: My Last Word by Theresa McVearry

Hi Bob…I just saw Ann tonight and asked her your opinion on the subj. of Justin’s Johnson’s penalty. When she told me, I told her I have been shocked that in all the web responses I have read, no one has mentioned the caddy’s responsibility. I just said to Kenny last night that it was the caddy’s responsibiity to get a sheet of all the bunkers on the course and to ask the rules official on the 18th to say if it was a bunker. A lot was at stake for Justin, but a lot for the caddie too. He blew it. and as much as I fault the PGA for poor crowd control, I am surprised more blogs have not faulted the caddy. Your blog is right on!

Comment on Blog, PGA Edition: My Whistling Straits Problem by Den

When Fred Bohen was running for Congress in 1974, political consultants from Martella & Assoc. told the story of how they helped a young Joe Biden upset an aging Senator Boogs in Delaware. Biden took every opportunity to emphasize the difference in their ages. At one point he even took Boggs’ elbow as the two of them walked up a flight of stairs together. I’m guessing Biden’s hair was more full then.
