Alice Cooper—the master of the macabre and the original shock rocker—exploited the innocence of the Love Generation and carved a musical niche that has prevailed for more than forty years. His brand of heavy metal and glam Rock ‘n’ Roll and his horror-filled showmanship took the nation by theatrical storm.

As the 38th President of The PGA of America, Ted Bishop, 58, has had a whirlwind first few months since his November induction. One of his first official acts was to name Tom Watson as the captain of the Ryder Cup team, a very popular move.
Bishop next entered the maelstrom created by the USGA’s proposed “anchoring” ban and emphatically said the PGA is opposed to it, again a very popular mo… Read More
Inducted as the 38th President of The PGA of America in early November, Ted Bishop was immediately hurled into the maelstrom created by the USGA’s proposed anchoring ban. He and the leadership of the PGA quickly responded.

Brian Silva, Golf World's 1999 “Architect of the Year,” agreed to the interview but told me, “I don’t think that I am a ‘celebrity’ golfer.”
OK, we’ll just celebrate, instead, both his original designs and course restorations - 125 and counting - that have provided countless hours of enjoyment to countless New Englanders (and others far beyond our realm) for 29 years. Raised… Read More
I first met Stacy Lewis this past January at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando. Stacy had just learned that Meg Mallon would be the captain of the U.S. Solheim Cup team at Colorado GC in 2013. Stacy, who had been on the losing side at Killeen Castle, Ireland, was pleased. “Meg will be a great leader, and she is just what the team needs.”
Despite the Solheim Cup loss, Stacy, after… Read More
“REE - CO! REE - CO! REE - CO!”
The Green Monster reverberated with this chant from the Fenway faithful from 1965-1977. It implored #6, Rico Petrocelli, one of the most popular players ever to don a pair of red socks, to deliver for them. And deliver he did. A member of the Red Sox Hall of Fame, two-time All-Star, flawless fielder at short and third, potent batter and valued team lead… Read More
Dennis Walters is the only touring member of the PGA who makes a very good living by sitting down on the job. A paraplegic since a catastrophic golf cart accident in 1974, Walters, who had dreamt of playing on The PGA TOUR, has turned this personal tragedy into his personal triumph through “The Dennis Walters Golf Show.”
From a swivel seat mounted on a golf cart, Walters has created a… Read More
The short-game woes of a young Dave Pelz should be celebrated by all those golfers whose short-game woes have been assuaged by his expertise. For, had Pelz succeeded on Tour as was his dream, the world of golf would undoubtedly be bereft of his teachings.
Pelz attended Indiana University—majoring in physics—on a golf scholarship and played well, except when he lost to Jack Nicklaus 22… Read More
