If You Watch LIV Golf You Are Supporting Higher Petrol Prices
The Saudi’s are purposely reducing oil production to drive prices up at the bowser. Of course, the Saudi’s are the backers of LIV Golf and paying all those hundreds of millions of dollars to already highly paid golfers like Jon Rahm. If you watch LIV Golf you are supporting higher petrol prices. Nothing happens in a bubble; everything is linked somehow. The money has to come from somewhere and in this case it comes from the Public Investment Fund (PIF). PIF get its money from oil sales.

Graceful Golf Vs Ungraceful Golf
Just had a golf lesson from a teaching pro at my club. It had been a while since my last series of instructional sessions. Of course, he filmed me on his phone and showed it to me, as they all do these days. First thought, wow, do I look that bad! Graceful golf vs ungraceful golf. The thing about golf is that you can’t see yourself swinging that club and, oftentimes, you are doing stuff that you don’t realise that you are doing. Simultaneously, you are not doing stuff that you thought you are doing or should be doing at any rate.

No Point In Playing The Game If People Cheat
Everybody know that Donald Trump is a compulsive liar, even his supporters know that. That Republicans are nominating Trump to be their presidential candidate once again is an indictment on America. It tells the world that a liar, a fraud, and a rapist is OK to be their guy in the White House. These Americans don’t care about truth, character, and accountability – they only care about winning. The loud mouthed Trump wins when the game is rigged. He cheats at golf – which is a sin, if you know anything about the game of golf. There is no point in playing the game if people cheat.

Walking Down The Fairway Of Life
He stuffed the last greasy mouthful of double beef burger into his mouth. Juggling its packaging in one paw and propelling his trolley with the other he kept on walking down the fairway of life. Brown remnants of some sauce snaked down his chin. The glistening temporarily stained skin made him look like there had been a major culinary accident in the vicinity. This was eating on the run golf style. Getting something substantial into you at the halfway mark. Nine holes had been and gone. Nine more holes had just begun. I don’t know how he does it, digesting mid stride and mid swing.

Would Golf Be Better Off With 12 Holes?
It may sound sacrilegious to suggest this, but – would golf be better off with 12 holes? Stick with me on this for a few moments. Yes, we love our golf; but is nearly 5 hours of play just too much in the modern era? If you break down your round how much of it do you actually enjoy. Think about all that waiting around between shots and behind that dawdling four ball in front. Consider the endless delays in getting the job done over 18 holes. Is it really the most economical use of your leisure time on the weekend or whenever you get to play?

What Is Golf?
What is golf? It is a vicious arrangement where nature takes its revenge on hapless human beings for seemingly no reason but to get its kicks. Talk about passive aggressive. Golf is a game (LOL). In this game you have 18 holes artfully plotted over an area of land. On this land there are a number of hazards or penalty areas. These may include bodies of water, wild bushland, and desert like sand traps. The aim of the game is to get a small white ball from one end of a strip of land to the other, where a small hole is located. This hole is demarked by a flag on the end of a thin pole.

The Astrology of Golf
Now, a lot of folks discount the veracity of astrology. They doubt the power of the horoscope to hone in on particular human traits. Some, even, fail to comprehend the acute insight provided by an understanding of the stars and their influence upon our lives.

The Economics Of Golf
Listening To Sam Torrance commentating at the British PGA at Wentworth recently I was fascinated to hear him mention the origins of foursomes. Sam talked about how the price of a golf ball back in the day was equivalent to around 3 month’s wages. This meant that a form of golf where 2 players shared the 1 golf ball was a smart economical move. Foursomes was that game and thus it was born at clubs like Muirfield. Where, according to Sam’s account it is still played more often than other forms of competitive golf by the members in true Scottish fashion. The economics of golf impacts the game in many ways and has done over the journey.

Thoughts On Hitting The Driver
For many golfers, I would hazard to say, the driver is the most important club in the bag. Known by the nom de plume, the big dog, we all long to let the dog out and howl at the moon. Tee it high and let it fly. The one wood starts most par 4s and 5s. These thoughts on hitting driver are fundamental to the very nature of the game of golf. Driver sets the stage for how a hole is going to play out. Getting off to a good start is pretty important in golf. Fluffing your lines with the big stick puts you in trouble and in a foul mood to boot.
