9 year old becomes the coach

I found this video quite moving and inspirational at the same time. It has absolutely nothing to do with golf but hit me between the eyes with an important lesson. Little Cain was prepared to “play the game” before he was famous. He turned up each time and...

Bubba Watson leads the way

I’ve been a fan of Bubba Watson for years now (see an earlier post here). It also came as no surprise that he won The Masters yesterday in a playoff from Lois Oosthuizen. I’m not sure how true it is that he has never had a golf lesson – but I’m...
