Golf Stuff:  During the 2023 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, the pros dunked 58 balls into the lake that surrounds the island-green on the par-3 17th hole of the Players Stadium Course.

Golf Quote: “They say golf is like life, but don’t believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.” – Gardner Dickinson

Golf Stuff:  American amateur golfer Patrick Wills had the round of his life in June 2015!  Over his 18 holes Laurel Hill Golf Club in Lorton, Virginia, USA he unbelievably scored 3 aces in one round – the most in any one round of golf!  Could’ve been an expensive day for Mr. Wills too, given the tradition of having to buy drinks for everyone in the clubhouse bar for each hole-in-one!

Golf Quote: “Golf is so popular simply because it is the best game in the world at which to be bad.” – AA Milne

Golf Stuff:  Most professional golfers play to handicaps of 4 and 6, and that’s before they enter the professional ranks. Unfortunately, not all golfers are this gifted. The vast majority of golfers will not play to a handicap under 18.  Does this mean you’re a bad golfer? Absolutely not! Most golfers are only hobby players.  To get your score below 18, you have to be serious about playing and practicing.

Golf Quote: “Golf is an awkward set of bodily contortions designed to produce a graceful result.” – Tommy Armour

Golf Stuff:  Leroy…While left-handers make up 10 to 12 percent of the overall population, only about 5 to 7 percent of golfers play left-handed. Unless you go to Canada, that is. In the Great White North, 30 percent of golfers play left-handed. Credit hockey, a game synonymous with Canada. Nearly two thirds of Canadian hockey players stick-handle and shoot left-handed, so it’s an easy transition for them to swing a golf club from the left side.

Golf Quote: “Putts get real difficult the day they hand out the money.” – Lee Trevino

Golf Stuff:  During the early days of golf, the balls were made out of leather wrapped in feathers.  Manufacturers would wet the feathers and wrap them around the leather.  When manufacturers realized the feathery golf balls weren’t working, they started experimenting with other materials.  While there’s little concrete evidence to support this, many people theorized golf balls were wooden before they adopted the modern golf ball manufacturing method. If this is true, these balls were likely used between the 14th and 17th centuries.

Golf Stuff:  According to studies by the USGA and R&A, the average length of drives for amateur golfers across all levels is 215 yards. For amateur women golfers, drives average 147 yards. Meanwhile, in 2022-2023, Rory McIlroy averaged 326 yards on his drives. On the LPGA Tour, the longest hitters averaged 285 yards.

Golf Quote: “When you lip out several putts in a row, you should never think that means that you’re putting well. When you’re putting well, the only question is what part of the hole it’s going to fall in, not if it’s going in.” – Jack Nicklaus

Golf Stuff:  Clark… Call your travel agent!  One of the most surprising golf facts is that Iceland boasts more golf courses per capita than any other country. Located just below the Arctic Circle, the small island nation with a population of 388,000 people is home to 65 golf courses. That’s one course for every 6,000 Icelanders.

Golf Quote: “Happiness is a long walk with a putter” – Greg Norman

Golf Stuff:  The worst score registered on the PGA Tour is the 123 Mike Reasor recorded in the third round of the 1974 Tallahassee Open. Reasor was actually less “bad” than badly injured. After making the 36-hole cut, he went horseback riding and fell from his horse. Since a requirement for securing his place in the next week’s field was completing all 72 holes of the tournament, Reasor played the final two rounds (he shot a fourth-round 114) with serious injuries to his shoulder, knee, and ribs. He persevered by swinging with one arm and using just a five-iron, two wedges and a putter.

Golf Quote: “For this game you need, above all things, to be in a tranquil frame of mind.” – Harry Vardon

Golf Stuff:  One of the most remarkable feats in golf is shooting your age. Fred Couples calls his final round 60 to win a PGA Tour Champions tournament in 2022 at age 63 the best round of his life. Sam Snead was the youngest PGA Tour player to shoot his age when he recorded a second-round 67 in the 1979 Quad Cities Open, and he topped that with a final round 66.
