Slow-Mo No Go

Tony Finau plays fast because of mosquitoes.  On the modest public course where the tall Utahn learned the game, he found that long pauses gave the skeeters a better chance to land, so he and his brother kept up a brisk pace. Brooks Koepka plays fast because there’s the ball and there’s the target and […]

Exam Room – Getting Loose

If every time you play a round golf you experience some post-round tightness and feel like someone swung their sand wedge directly into your body, you’re not alone. Let’s face it, you are not a spring chicken and the days of trunk golf are followed by several days of muscle soreness, ibuprofen and ice.  Well, […]

Cover Story – College Days Revisited

To become a PGA TOUR player, you need talent, determination and self-minded focus to do nothing but eat, drink and sleep golf. Except in the fall, of course. That’s when the Tour players passion for the game they play for a living, takes a back seat – or at least an equal seat – to […]

Tales From the Back Nine, Part IX – Highway 380 West

Maybe you heard the tall Texas tale of the two frontiersmen who frantically climbed into a small cave by the Clear Fork Brazos River to elude a band of Comanches, arrows whizzing by as the men crawled through a hole in the rock along the steep bank. Whew, safe at last. But one problem: Their […]

Tales From the Back Nine Part VIII – Kansas

Travel 3

First time I ever saw Kansas, they were opening for Aerosmith at UTA’s Texas Hall. This is notable only because, about a century later, I actually toured the state of Kansas, and again Kansas was the backup band, stuck in my head the whole way. Yep, a four-day road trip exploring wilderness golf adventures in […]

Exam Room – Coping With Overuse Injuries

Since we have been receiving many patients with elbow and wrist-pain issues in the clinic recently, we figured we should spend some time talking about them. Elbow and wrist injuries are typically what we call overuse injuries. The importance of understanding what an overuse injury is will be beneficial to providing the right treatment and […]

After the Round – The Mansion Dallas

When it comes to living a life of luxury, one of the first requirements that comes to mind is owning a mansion.  But following a hot summer round of golf in Texas, the last thing I personally want to do is return home to slave over a hot stove or oven.  If you’re like me, […]
