No Anchor - Not A Problem for Honda Winner Scott

By:  Doug Ferguson   PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - Adam Scott won the Honda Classic and put to rest any notion that his career would suffer with a short putter.  In a tight duel with Sergio Garcia for the entire round Sunday at PGA National, Scott stayed out of the water and closed with an even-par 70 for a one-shot victory. It was his first title since Colonial in May 2014, and his first time winning with a conventional putter since the 2010 Singapore Open. The timing of his victory also was a big

A Boston Red Sox Player Drives Golf Cart Into Lake on Valentines Day

By:  Jason Crook   A couple of Boston Red Sox players headed out for a little Valentine's Day golf on Sunday, and things got wet ... and wild ... and one would have to assume expensive once the final bill is tallied up.  Outfielder Mookie Betts and infielder Travis Shaw both took to Twitter to share how their round came to an evidently quick ending, with a photo of their golf cart fully submerged in a lake. Betts owned up to the driving infraction, while Shaw did confirm that no one was hurt in

How the Ping Anser Putter, One of the Most Iconic Clubs, Came To Be

By E. Michael Johnson   The most popular putter style of all time started with a drawing on a 78 r.p.m. record jacket.  That is the canvas Karsten Solheim, a Norwegian-born engineer who worked on jet fighters and missile guidance systems after World War II, used to sketch the Ping Anser putter in January 1966.

Golf Holds Strong in Heart of Oldest PGA Member

 By Adam Schupak   They called Gus Andreone the Night Rider. The colorful nickname was bestowed upon him as a 15-year-old caddie at Pittsburgh’s St. Clair Country Club because of his willingness to loop for a member named Dr. Goldman in the day’s last, feeble light.  For years, the caddie yard was the academy from which underprivileged students graduated into the game. Andreone’s family was so poor that his shoes had holes in the soles. One time, to quicken the pace, he picked up the doctor’s
