Great Golf Writing

RIP Peter Alliss. His commentary of the final hole of the 1999 Open with Van de Velde was a masterclass in how to broadcast a major moment youtube.com/watch?v=QV8Qj91T…

Amazing shot by Morikawa. Sensational start since to his professional career after a stellar amateur career. It's too early to call him the next big star of golf, but few players are putting in the unrelenting excellence week after week. Well deserved win #PGAChamp

Congrats Daniel Berger. Speaking to Golf Digest in 2018 he said: "My dad said very minute I wasn't practicing, there was a kid in China or South America who was. I took that to heart. I wore out clubs and grips. I'd hit balls until I literally was limp and couldn't swing anymore"
