Calgary Golfer Has Sights Set On Tourney, Helping Others Back in the summer of 2017 Kyle Miller made headlines in the golf world as the first player with cerebral palsy to tee it up in a PGA-sanctioned event, when he took part in the ATB Financial Classic in Calgary. He?s now repeating that journey but to him the fact he?s playing, and hoping to win, actually plays second fiddle to his ultimate goal. INSIDE GOLF

Is It Poor Form To Hit A Conceded Putt? Conceding a putt in match play is widely regarded as a sporting gesture. We all know it?s a great feeling when you hear, ?That?s good,?from your playing partner, and you can scoop up your ball and move on, but now let?s flip the scenario. What if you concede a shortie, and your opponent steps up and putts the ball anyway? Is that poor form on your opponent?s part? INSIDE GOLF

Why This Golf Course Decided To Remove Every Single Bunker Most of us ordinary duffers don?t devote a ton of thought to bunkers beyond the fact that we?d rather avoid them. But for others in the industry, the sandy hazards are often top of mind. GOLF.com?s Josh Sens writes about architect Andrew Green?s radical idea when he was tasked with a facelift at Eisenhower Golf Course in Crownsville, Maryland, and he decided to take out each and every one of the course?s 56 bunkers.

Europe's rapidly dwindling lead over the host Americans. A record crowd filled with unfamiliar faces after COVID-19 travel restrictions basically forced the visitors to go it alone at breezy, sun-splashed Inverness. The 26-year-old knew the 10-footer for par would move right to left. She just needed to get the speed right. INSIDE GOLF

Coal Creek Golf Resort Takes A Mulligan On 9th Hole Design
While a gem may seem perfect to some people, not everyone sees that particular jewel in the same light. Case in point: The somewhat arduous, at least to some, ninth hole at the phenomenal Coal Creek Golf Resort. Ever since it opened in 2012, this outstanding layout has had rave reviews ... except when it came to one troublesome spot on the course. That particular area was the closing hole on the front nine.
