When Patrick Reed's past and present merge, a question of what's fair game

When the polite applause stopped Sunday evening, it wasn’t Patrick Reed’s gritty finish that inspired headlines and tweets in the hours following his victory. No, more than any major champion in recent memory, the stories that surrounded Reed’s win moved remarkably quickly toward the unflattering mistakes and the personal crises of his pre-green jacket life. In short, the minute he was putting his arms in the sleeves of the coat, many were pointing out all the reasons he didn’t quite fit the

What's It Like To Be A Member?

Washington Road could be just about anywhere in small-town America. It is a bustling eyesore-lined thoroughfare with cheap chain restaurants and bargain retail stores. And while this gaudy strip shouts with a working-class accent, whispering in more genteel tones, behind the sign off Washington Road that reads "Augusta National Golf Club Members Only," is a peaceful enclave for powerful men. And behind the mystique spawned by the secrecy that surrounds the club is a place of surprising

Family Has Always Been Priority No. 1 for Phil Mickelson

Last week when Roberto De Vicenzo died at 94, our website revisited a story about a 2006 visit I made to Buenos Aires to see the great Argentine. Although the Roberto I met carried himself with a beautiful equanimity, he revealed that throughout his career he had carried an ever-present inner tension. The same man who chased the perfect swing with such intensity that the face of an old 7–iron (the club he called “my professor”) became concave enough to cradle a ball, also resisted spending

Fans’ Boorish Behavior Doesn’t Belong

Everyone who follows professional golf knows “Mashed Potatoes” guy. He’s the noisy, obnoxious cousin of the equally annoying “Baba Booey” guy, a distant descendant of the “You da man” guy who came into being back in the ’80s, giving tournament golf an unnecessary soundtrack of bellowing, belligerent boys who insist on making themselves a part of the show. These people think they’re amusing because they’re not self aware enough to understand they’re jackwagons. The good news is they are a very

15 best stories of emotional outbursts, temper tantrums and breakdowns on the golf course

There's nothing sweeter than a child's laughter...*I have a friend who showed up to the course just hammered while another friend and I were in the middle of a round. Drunk friend proceeded to bet non-drunk friend a few bucks that he could beat him on the hole we were on if he were given a shot. After hacking it up the hole, drunk friend ends up with a chip shot for bogey. Well, in the middle of his backswing, two kids on a hill on the hole adjacent to us yelled at him. Not cool. Drunk friend

Donald Trump tops ranking of golfing presidents

President Donald Trump will be the 16th of the past 19 American presidents to play golf. And immediately upon entering office he will be the best player of the group, thanks to his current 2.8 Handicap Index and his 19 club championship victories. According to our Jaime Diaz, who twice played golf with Trump in recent years, the best part of his game is his ball-striking, although Trump himself says it's his putting.Trump knocks John F. Kennedy from the No. 1 spot in our previous ranking of the

As his caddie during the early years, I knew Fred Couples before he became a rock star. How lucky am I?

When it comes to Fred Couples and caddies, Joe LaCava is the man. They had more than 20 years together, including Fred’s win at the 1992 Masters. I was there in Fred’s Wonder Bread years, in the early- and mid-’80s. I was on his bag for his first Tour victory, the ’83 Kemper Open. I was there for his first big win, the ’84 Players Championship. I don’t know about now, but then it was the fifth-most-important tournament in the world. Why? Because the winner got a 10-year exemption on the PGA

Players react to alert of ballistic missile: 'Grab a Mai Tai, go to the beach, grab a front row seat'

HONOLULU — When Jordan Spieth saw an emergency alert on his phone about an inbound ballistic missile threat to Hawaii on Saturday morning, he was at his hotel and started calling his parents and other family members to seek out information. He also thought about what he might do. “I kind of thought if we had a car maybe drive as far away from town as possible,” he said. “We were inside away from the windows trying to gather information.” His caddie, Michael Greller, gathered his wife and their

Bad memory makes Dustin Johnson a golf king.

KAPALUA, Hawaii – Dustin Johnson’s best asset is not the incredible power and precision he uses for nuclear drives but rather it is his ability to forget just about everything. Sometimes it is just best to forget.Forget blowing a 54-hole lead at the 2010 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach with a final round 82. Forget grounding your club in a controversial bunker at the 2010 PGA Championship on the 72nd hole at Whistling Straits to be penalized out of a playoff. Forget three-putting the 72nd hole at the

A new year begins at Kapalua, although the focus isn't all about golf just yet

APALUA, Hawaii – The PGA Tour Initiative Award for 2018—we just created it this minute—goes to Russell Henley, who pulled into the parking lot at the Plantation Course at Kapalua Resort at 6:27 a.m. HST. Henley and his wife, Teil, are expecting their first child, a boy, on April 15. Tax day. They are not going to name him Sam, even if the federal government takes, possibly, a smaller bite of his income this year. Henley was hitting the course at sunrise, 7:03 a.m., for some short-game work,
