Golf Stuff:  In 1895, the winner’s share of the prize fund at the first U.S. Open Championship, a 36-hole stroke-play tournament held at Newport Country Club in Rhode Island, was $150. The remaining payouts for the best finishers in the 11-player field were $100, $50, $25, and $10. Adjusting for inflation, the 1895 winner’s haul equates to about $5,600 today.

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 Quote: “A bad attitude is worse than a bad swing.” – Payne Stewart

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. No wonder the pros often seem to be playing a different game than ordinary golfers.

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.

Golf season is short—late May to early September—but between early June and late July you can play past midnight.

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.

Golf Stuff:  The insurance companies that underwrite hole-in-one contests figure the odds of a pro making a hole-in-one are 3,000 to 1. For amateurs, it’s 12,500 to 1. How about two holes-in-one in one round? Those odds are an astronomical 67 million to 1.

Golf Quote: “Golf: A plague invented by the Calvinistic Scots as a punishment for man’s sins.” – James Barret Reston

Golf Tip:  Play the correct ball. If you have less than a high swing speed, you should be playing one of those low-compression balls. Forget about the “Distance” balls. They only go farther if you swing at high speeds. Forget about the “Tour” balls like the Pro V-1 or anything that says “Tour” on it. You need a ball that will compress at an average or lower swing speed that will give you the greatest distance like the Titleist So-Lo, Srixon Soft Feel or Maxfli Noodle for examples.

Golf Quote: “Golf is the only sport I know of where a player pays for every mistake. A man can muff a serve in tennis, miss a strike in baseball, or throw an incomplete pass in football and still have another chance to square himself. In golf, every swing counts against you.” – Lloyd Mangrum
