- About me
- I am a writer, a book author, and I play to a 12.2 handicap index. Right now, my golf is restricted to one round a month as I plug away on my second book, Most Wonderful Shooting, which is scheduled for release in 2013-14 by University of Texas Press. I'm frugal (OK, cheap), which means I stick to munis and other places that charge less than $25. I walk and carry my bag. I'm quite comfortable with how I go about my participation in the greatest game ever created.
Golf Information
- Handicap
- 13
- Home Course
- Alamo City Golf Trail, San Antonio, Texas
- About My Game
- I'm starting to read Ben Hogan's "Five Lessons." I hope I have the "intelligent application" Mr. Hogan talks about and that a swing producing golf shots of "real character" are within reach as he says
- I Need To Work On
- Finding partners with the abilities, sense of adventure and knowledge of the rules that I appreciate. In other words, let's tee it from the tips, ditch the cart, save the booze until the 19th hole and smoke a good stogie when we're done!
- What's In My Bag
- I chose a set of Hogan PCs over Wilson Tour Blades for $340 some 25 years ago. I recently found that line of Wilsons for $40, used, in nice condition, so I hit those now. The 9-iron was missing from the PCs, or I would not have switched. Classic set.
- Best Score
- 79
- Best Shot
- Way too many to list. Haaaaaah! But that 190-yard 4-iron into No. 13 at Stevens Park in Dallas around Christmas wasn't bad, even though I missed the putt for what would have been a second-straight birdie.
- Favorite Player
- Tom Watson
- Favorite Tournament
- Not the Masters. How about the Alamo City Golf Trail Players' Club Championship?
- Favorite Golf Books
-
Down The Fairway, by Robert Jones and O.B. Keeler
Harvey Penick's Little Red Book, by Harvey Penick with Bud Shrake
Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf, by Ben Hogan with Herbert Warren Wind - Ideal Foursome
- Me and three no-shows (unless the people I am paired with are really out there to play golf and not just out riding a cart and drinking a beer in between swings). Often, I play golf like George Thorogood drinks: Alone.

After planning some British golf for vacation in June, I'll think now about my participation in the next stroke-play event at our local Alamo City Golf Trail Players Club. It's Sunday at Mission Del Lago on the southern edge of San Antonio near a Toyota plant. It was designed by Denis Griffiths, who collaborated on the designs at St. Andrew's Bay resort. One more practice round to go.
