Non-golfers might find it a bit odd to see Steph Curry picking his clubs at the local PGA Superstore when the NBA Finals begin Thursday.
Presuming this was a regripping, any golfer can understand how that’s a task not to be trusted to an assistant.
Adam Woodward reports on a wild finish to the men’s individual title chase that ended in a four-man playoff won by Vanderbilt’s Gordon Sargent. The true freshman joins a small group to have won the title in their first year, including Ben Crenshaw and Phil Mickelson.
The final eight teams are set, with Tuesday featuring 36-holes of matches concluding with Wednesday’s final. It was a remarkable show by top ranked teams backing up their season-long efforts to reach the elite eight. Woodward previews the bracket and morning matches.
The teams and TV Times:
Is it not high time that Authority placed a definite limit upon the golfer's insatiable greed for distance? Does not history teach that an art is ever ruled by a small intelligent minority? Why, then, pay attention to the ever-unthinking majority? Let them have their damn ball; but if they wish to enter the lists of the academy of the Amateur and Open Championships then they must use implements that will compel them to reflect in their play the best traditions of the sport that have been inherited from the past. And such limitations would be in line with the practice that prevails when it comes to contests of skill in other sports. MAX BEHR

The Golden Years of Hogan are certainly easier for me o remember than more recent events. Like when Steve Flesch won. Or Olin Browne. Or David Frost. Or Fulton Allem. Or Tim Herron. Or that fateful interlude when if it wasn’t Keith Clearwater, it was Ian Baker-Finch. One hit wonders occasionally add a touch of charm to an annual golf event , but not when they come in droves. For those of you who cut too many history classes, the Hogan years started with the first Colonial in 1946, and it didn’t hurt a thing that Ben won the inaugural with a shocking course-record 65 in the final round.

Adding to the already stellar lineup, National Golf Links follows its successful hosting of the 2013 Walker Cup with the 2030 Curtis Cup matches. Fantastic news for the women’s game.
For Immediate Release:
LIBERTY CORNER, N.J. (May 25, 2022) – National Golf Links of America, in Southampton, N.Y., has been named the host site of the 46th Curtis Cup Match, to be held June 7-9, 2030. This will be the third USGA championship conducted at National Golf Links, which has previously hosted the 1922 and 2013 Walker Cup Matches.
“We are thrilled to return to National Golf Links, one of America’s finest golf courses and a true cathedral of the game,” said Mark Hill, USGA managing director, Championships. “The club has been such an integral part of Walker Cup history, so for its leadership to offer to host a Curtis Cup speaks volumes about their commitment to the amateur and women’s game. We cannot wait to work with their leadership in the effort to stage another memorable Match.”
National Golf Links of America, which opened in 1909, was designed by renowned golf course architect Charles Blair Macdonald, who guided the course’s development over its first 30 years. Macdonald’s tenure included the inaugural Walker Cup Match in 1922. Led by playing captain William C. Fownes Jr. and with a side that included Bob Jones, Charles “Chick” Evans and Francis Ouimet, the United States won the first Match, 8-4. National Golf Links of America was the home club of George Herbert Walker, USGA president in 1920, when the event was conceived, and the man who donated the trophy. The Walker Cup Match returned to National Golf Links in 2013, when the USA Team defeated GB&I 17-9.
A tremendous piece of work from the CBS team and writer John Hopkins, who also narrated this tribute to photographer David Cannon. It was shown to the audience for Cannon’s award acceptance before an enjoyable Q&A with Jim Nantz. Enjoy!

Hogan had once selected his “All American golf course” for Life Magazine and included the 465-yard 12th hole at Southern Hills, a dogleg left to a green protected by water and sand. [Tommy] Bolt remembered this and couldn’t wait to remind Hogan, a man he respects more than any other—they have a good friendship—that he “whipped up” on this favorite golf hole of Ben’s, and the Southern Hills members. In the four rounds, Bolt birdied the rugged 12th three times on the way to his first major title, most spectacularly in the Saturday-morning round with a soaring 3-iron second that wound up three feet from the flag.

The majority of American golf clubs are in the red, gore of the stream shovel, blood drawn by mound builders. We have learned nothing from Scotland and England where the ancient and honorable game can be enjoyed on marvelous links at one tenth the admission fees, dues, green fees, etc., that prevail in the land of the free.
