Capturing special moments for Todd from Michigan as he played West Kilbride with his hickories will live long in my memory! He'd played the courses on Arran and this was a fitting end, looking onto the island across Ardneil Bay.

Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley says golf has become "one-dimensional." "Until recent years golf has been a game of imagination, creativity, and variety. The game has become much more one-dimensional." Great soundbite. It's also directly contradicted by the USGA's Distance Insights Project. Here's what their research actually found. Today's long hitters are good at everything. Report R56 measured how closely driving distance was linked to every other skill on Tour. Longer hitters have improved their approach play. They have improved their short game. They have improved their putting. R56's conclusion: "This can be interpreted as longer hitters becoming better at the non-driving distance parts of the game, while accurate hitters were becoming worse at the non-driving accuracy parts of the game." Read that again. The USGA concluded long hitters are becoming MORE well-rounded. The straight hitters are becoming LESS well-rounded. If anyone is getting more "one-dimensional," it's the shorter hitting accurate players, not the bombers. Report R14 (Mark Broadie) broke down what separates the top 40 players from the field: approach shots 36%, driving 32%, short game 17%, putting 14%. The single biggest contributor to elite scoring is still approach play. Non-driving skills account for 68% of the scoring advantage. R56 analyzed every tee shot on every par 4 and par 5 on the PGA TOUR over 15 seasons using Shotlink data. Driving distance explains 3% of scoring variance on a hole. Where your ball ends up (fairway, rough, bunker) explains 9% of scoring variance on a hole. Where you hit it matters three times more than how far you hit it. Ridley's claim "feels" right, but feelings aren't data. The USGA's research found that today's long hitters are more well-rounded than ever, approach play still matters more than driving, and distance explains 3% of scoring variance on a hole while where the ball ends up explains 9% of the scoring variance. The game hasn't become one-dimensional. The best players have added dimensions.

The "insurmountable obstacle" of an alcohol shortage ahead of the 1947 Halford Hewitt. One of the best letters in golf.

“Hickory from the tops of hills was hard, but too brittle; hickory from the valleys was known as swamp hickory and had no real spring. The best hickory came from halfway up the hill where the structure and grain of the wood were ideal. Hickory had a certain ‘steely’ spring.
