Love statistics? Get this: “People ages 45 to 64 account for 20% of all those over age 7 who rode a bike at least six times last year, according to the National Sporting Goods Association. That’s up from 13% a decade ago.” It sure explains why the roads in The Berkshires are constantly cluttered with [...]

Golfer John Daly plays his game like a bad boy. Women, liquor and music make for a rowdy day on the links. Watch him as he tees off from a beer can. Priceless.

With a name like Elsie McLean, who can complain, especially after she hits a hole in one at 102!

Hobbies are nice except for one thing: there’s never enough time to indulge in them. Work always seems to get in the way of spending endless hours tying fly fishing lures, reading books, or cooking meals. Even after retirement, the will to engage in your hobby can easily be thwarted by a lack of convenient [...]

The ability to whack a golf ball comes easy to some, but for others it may require some yoga stretching in order to loosen up those hip flexors. Katherine Roberts knows your pain and provides some yoga exercises to get you out of the clubhouse and back onto the golf course. Leotards extra.

If you’re lucky enough to be in the South for the holidays, just beware, cursing the god or gods just might cause your buddy to inherit your expensive golf clubs.

Taylor is launching a new ad campaign around a golfer’s passion for the game…even if it means playing the game on prosthetic legs. The tagline for this golfer: More than a survivor I’m a golfer. It’s nice to see a company embracing imagery that goes beyond the celebrity endorsement.

Most gyms are predicated on the notion that if you can get someone to sign up for a membership, there’s little need to worry about the person actually showing up to use the facilities. Why?

Remember that post about a mystery golfer who shanked one on the masseuse table up in Scotland? It was Kevin Costner. The guy was on his honeymoon, no less. Who knows, maybe he had a special vow added to his ceremony or pre-nup: As long as it’s only me playing with myself it doesn’t count [...]

They say the British have a dry, witty sense of humor. Depending on your gender, the following description of an event that took place on the masseuse table at St. Andrews will either rub your putter bone or wind up in the drink. Cheers, mate, but I hope for your sake you avoid cocktail hour [...]
