I don’t mean to boast (ok, maybe I do a little), but it looks like the rest of the world finally caught on to what I’ve been saying for years.

Give yourself bonus points today if you know who Jules Alexander is.
Actually, even if you don’t know his name, chances are you know his work.
See, during his near 70 years as a photographer, he has chosen exactly two golf subjects to um, focus on, for what he calls his “self-assignments.”
The first was Ben Hogan.
Alexander followed Hogan during the 1959 U.S. Open at Winged Foot and the black-and-white photographs he took became the basis for the best-selling book, The Hogan Mystique.
They also wound up on permanent display at the World Golf Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, Fla., and at USGA headquarters in Far Hills, N.J.
Mrs. Hogan herself selected one of Alexander’s photos for The Hogan Room at the USGA’s Golf House.
The only other golfer in history who similarly drew Alexander’s lens became the subject of his only other book: Read more →
I’m not going to lie to you: I like when people ask my advice about golf stuff.
It’s one topic I know a lot about (there aren’t many) and it makes me feel like I’m being truly helpful.
This past Sunday, a friend asked me a question I thought you might also want the answer to.
It came up as he pulled his golf bag out of “hibernation” to play our first round of the year here in Rockland County, NY.
As he reached into the ball pocket, he realized he was low on ammo and needed to stock up for the upcoming season.
“Where do you get your golf balls?,” he asked, implying I had an insider source.
Well, I do have a source, and I’ll tell you exactly what I told him: Read more →

This product is used by about 90 percent of players on the PGA and LPGA tours, far more than any club, bag, ball, putter, glove, or shoe.
But here’s the real shocker: all of these players use it by choice; not one of them is paid to do so. Read more →

The annual PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Fla., is wall-to-wall golf. (Photo courtesy of PGA of America.)
Just got back from the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Fla.
Even after attending for 15 years, I’m stunned by the size and scope of this thing.
I’ve tried explaining how massive it is to family and friends, but their reactions told me I wasn’t doing it justice.
This year, however, I made a breakthrough.
By sharing a single photo (not the one above), four people have already asked me, “Is this for real?”
Now they’re getting it.
Here’s the picture that made their jaws hit the floor. Read more →
