What happened to the Americans on this tour? I follow all the tours but I have to admit I am having a hard time following this tour lately.

All these players that are hyped here in the U.S. are lucky if they win at all during the season. Wie, Creamer, Pressel and the rest simply do not win enough.

Saturday, 5:20 am. It was a cold and foggy morning in Pacific Palisades. The only lights you could see were coming from my Riviera issued golf cart. The deer at this time were scurrying back into their homes on the outskirts of the course. The work day had only just begun.

Tim Price's article on Golf 2.0 shows the failure built into the plan. Cost of rounds in $$ and time are huge factors - especially for people who see golf as recreational entertainment more than active sport. Price's analysis has the usual good points and a few different ones. But like most others I have read, no one mentions the evolution of golf to riding entertainment as a cause of the LOSS of participants.

1. Increased cost: It is hard to find a course that does not "include" the cart in the green fee, so many who walk are automatically paying a penalty. And carts may add income by increasing the "total fee," but I'd like to see the real cost of carts on maintenance and design of courses.

It can be no shock to see that participation in golf is dipping at the same time that our economy has suffered through historic drops. But can the blame extend beyond the economy, and does golf possess a future that could make it go the way of horse racing? I never thought it would happen.

Better golf without practice. Has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? I recently picked up a book of the same title written by Alex J. Morrison in 1940. He is the same author who wrote “A New Way to Better Golf”, which by all accounts online seems to be the better and more widely read of the two.
