DriveHard - For the green and for a cure!

2012-02-09T10:32:00.000-07:00

A few years back I read an 'Action Plan' developed by the Tiger Woods Foundation. It was developed to help young golfers set their goals and priorities both on and off the golf course. It encouraged and reinforced the ideas of hard work, discipline, positive thinking and to giving back to the community. It got me thinking, with golf being such a mental sport, it's interesting to see how

Golf's Sacred Journey

2012-02-06T08:21:00.000-07:00

There are hundreds of golf books on the market, some that teach etiquette, some that help improve your swing, some that attempt to tackle the mental side of the game, and others that are just for entertainment. Of all the golf books I've read to date, there's only one that I consistently find myself recommending to others, it's called "Golf's Sacred Journey: Seven Days at the Links of Utopia".

Golf Caddies

2012-01-26T09:53:00.001-07:00

If you're a recreational golfer like myself, the concept of a golf caddie is somewhat foreign to you. Although I would love to have someone follow me around the course carrying my clubs and offering me advice, I've simply never been given such an opportunity. Caddying may seem like a simple role, but good caddies are hard to come by and have a long list of responsibilities including reading

The Evolution of Golf

2012-01-19T14:01:00.000-07:00

The exact number of years that golf has been played is unknown, that statement alone a tests to how old it is. The origin includes an English game called 'cambuca', a Dutch game called 'kolf', a Belgian game called 'chole', and a French game called 'jeu de mail'. When the Romans occupied Great Britain (A.D. 43-410), they played 'paganica' in the streets using a stick and a leather ball. The

Stick to Sports: Let's Play Golf

Grinds my Gears

2012-01-06T13:08:00.000-07:00

You know what really grinds my gears... ... Cell phones on the golf course! You went to the course to play golf, not to talk with your accountant. The sight of somebody yammering away on the phone in the middle of the fairway is truly annoying. It's downright rude. There should be a local rule permitting a golfer to throw the person's cell phone into the woods or pond if it is the

New Year Golf Resolutions

2012-01-01T20:38:00.003-07:00

I've always enjoyed the process of re-evaluating life and making New Years resolutions to help get back on the right track. Here's a great article by Donald Crawley that gives some suggestions for improving your golf game in 2012...I know that we don't all make resolutions at year's end (even though we plan to) or, if we do, we rarely stick to them past January 10th of each year.

Last Post of 2011...

Want to Bet?

2011-12-29T12:17:00.001-07:00

Back in the 1920s, a world-class hustler named Titanic Thompson cleaned up on the golf course in a variety of ways. Our favorite: betting a sucker that he could make a 40 foot putt, with one condition. The attempt had to be made first thing in the morning, before anyone else played. Meanwhile, Titanic would pay off a greenskeeper to lay a 40 foot piece of hose from ball to cup overnight,

2011-12-13T11:17:00.001-07:00

I've always been proud of the fact that I'm not a fair weather golfer. Living at the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, you never know what mother nature will throw your way... rain, sleet, wind, hail, I've golfed through it all. This week I was introduced to an organization that takes it a step farther... The World Ice Golf Championship takes place 373 miles north of the Arctic
