Gord?s Alberta Golf Notes The biggest news coming out of a long, snowy Alberta winter is that two members of the PGA of Alberta were honoured with major awards at the PGA?s Golf Show in Florida in late January. Leading the charge was Don Price who was named to the PGA of Canada Hall of Fame. The other major winner, Riley Fleming, proved that nice guys can finish first as he was named the Mike Weir Male Player of the Year for 2021 after an exceptional season of tournament play.

The Good Noise & The Bad Noise On The PGA TOUR Four days in the Arizona desert, particularly the weekend of the Phoenix Open, provided a clear reminder of what the PGA TOUR has sorely needed.

A sport best performed in silence is most entertaining when there is noise, as long as it's the right kind of noise. For the PGA TOUR, there has been far too much clangor to start the new year.

For Mickelson, Actions Will Speak Louder Than Words Phil Mickelson decided to chastise the PGA TOUR for not paying him what he deserves by accusing the league that made him rich and famous of ?obnoxious greed.?There?s a better way to go about it. For a six-time major champion who for 30 years has amazed his audience with a golf club, his biggest bravado now involves a pen. Just be the first player to enlist.

With the right technique though, you can escape a fried-egg lie, and even put a little spin on the ball. GOLF.com?s Zephyr Melton shares the technique from GOLF Top 100 Teacher Jonathan Yarwood.

Are First-Tee Excuses Ever Acceptable?

In golf, as in life, excuse-making is a form of self-protection. It?s also a brand of self-deceit. But you?re not fooling anybody else. When you start whining before you?ve struck the day?s first shot, other golfers in your group will see right through you.
