(This is the second of a new weekly feature on TriadGolf.com. Each weekend, editor/publisher John Brasier will share his experience that week playing at a Triad course open to the public.) Lexington Golf Club isn’t the longest or most difficult golf course in the Triad. But it might be the most loved. Built in 1938…
(This is the first of a new weekly feature on TriadGolf.com. Each weekend, editor/publisher John Brasier will share his experience that week playing at a Triad course open to the public.) If you play golf and live in the Triad, you’ve almost certainly played the Champions Course at Bryan Park. The Rees Jones design, host…
Tiger Woods won’t be at Augusta this week. As is the case whenever Tiger gets in trouble, he has gone away to some secret place where he can recover and try to let the trouble blow over. He’ll be back, though few outside his close circle know what’s really behind his impaired driving troubles that…
For all but a few days, February weather was terrible. Snow, ice, rain, high winds, sub-freezing temperatures. But the month is over. Goodbye, February! Hello, March! Still, February wasn’t all bad. For golfers, the month was another reminder of how strong golf is in the Carolinas. And I’m not referring only to our big populations…
Give the members of the PGA Tour Board of Directors kudos for bringing back Brooks Koepka with a deal that should be acceptable to even the most resentful Tour members. The PGA Tour took away Koepka’s player equity shares for the next five years, a penalty estimated to be worth somewhere between $50 million and…
Earlier, TriadGolf.com took a look back at the best of 2025. Now, here’s a short list of what Triad golfers should look forward to during the new year: New and Improved Facilities: Starmount Forest Country Club should enjoy its first spring since Kris Spence’s course redesign, a project that returned the Greensboro layout to the…
Europe can keep the Ryder Cup. The Euros deserve it — they beat the U.S. team 15-13 under the terms of the competition. But I think the Americans can claim victory, too. Battling head-to-head in match-play for the only time on Sunday, the U.S. went 6-1-4 and dominated the points distribution 8-3. That should —…
Imagine a Top Golf for golfers. OK, that might sound silly. But it’s not. Comparing hitting shots at TopGolf to practicing at a range is like comparing bouncing putts off the bricks at Putt Putt to working on your stroke at a practice green. Heck, at TopGolf almost everyone uses the facility’s clubs to hit…
I give credit to the USGA and the Royal & Ancient for making some common-sense rules changes over the past few years. Many of us who play solo rounds especially enjoy the option of leaving in the pin while holing putts. Most golfers are happy they can now fix ball and spike marks in the…
It’s been nearly three decades, but I still remember vividly the most disappointed I’ve ever been while attending at a golf event. It was late September 1995, a cold, rainy weekend in Rochester, New York. Somehow, the U.S. Ryder Cup team lost to Europe in a stunning final-day collapse. It was miserable. Do you remember…
