COLUMNSby Terry Vander Heiden
by Hal Gevertz After enjoying over 700 golf courses through my golfing life I have generally grouped them by degree of difficulty, outstanding holes, location and surroundings. Well after continually reviewing through the years where I have been and seen, I recently discovered the toughest golf course I ever had the pleasure of playing. |

The Dozen Coolest Golfers Ever?by Bob Fagan Who are the coolest professional golfers? This is not about their accomplishments, but rather more about demeanor and style. First you have to define what cool is. Here are my criteria. The “cool” golfer is not necessarily handsome. Charisma by itself is not enough to qualify. They might exhibit a hint of 007’s James Bond’s timing or appeal, but the emphasis is on exuding a relaxed “cool,” and giving the impression of being totally at ease with themselves. Their walk is not hurried as they are apt to determine their own pace and never look rushed or flustered—and they play as if they almost didn’t care about their score or who was or wasn’t watching. They are not intense, aggressive, neither quick in gait nor plodding. but they do have style and personality—often unique. They are seldom vocal, but when they do say something, it is usually interesting. They do not set out to be cool, but they just are. And the really, really cool players could care less about being on this silly list! Read more about it.
