For the second straight year I am pleased to present a list of transfers who are eligible to play at the Division-I level this season.

All of a sudden, the notion that Woods will challenge Nicklaus’s record of winning 18 majors is the contrarian point of view. The piece by the AP national sports columnist Tim Dahlberg seemed […]

When a young player comes close to winning, it’s inevitable that a comment will be made, most likely by someone who has won a lot of money playing golf, that the young golfer in question is primed to win a bunch of tournaments in his career. Whether young golfers are really guaranteed future success can […]

A while back, I tried my hand at some golf ratings. (Back in the day when Sergio Garcia was playing good golf.) It was a fun experiment, but ultimately it was such a task to gather data for such a project that it was impossible to maintain.  At any rate, there are still fun things […]

Now available: coaching resumes for everybody that has been a D-I head coach since 2003. Much thanks to Josh Riddell, owner and operator of The Mikan Drill, (and whose insights can also be found on twitter @TheMikanDrill), for helping to put together a database of coaches for the past ten seasons and making this project […]
