As the best women golfers compete for the Olympic Gold Medal, I thought of Jan Stephenson. Jan could really play, but she could also attract a TV audience.

Buddy golf trips are a great time to become boys again for a few days. Bully Pulpit was a perfect venue for golf and Mother Nature.
I must say that I felt sorry for Rickie Fowler at the recent 3M Open. As he was making 8 on #18, I thought of a story I wrote in 2015 when Rickie won the 2015 Player’s Championship. He won the tournament but girlfriend Alexia stole the show.
As the MGA golf season is drawing to a close, we all need to remember the volunteers who make the events go smoothly. Mike Damman is one of the very best. The story is several years old but Mike still works many MGA events.
This is the last Money Ball story for a while. When I got my introduction to Bridge I lost $2.60 in 9 holes. That was a small fortune for a kid making $1.25 per hour.
More gambling games for the golf course. Thought about some of these while watching the Open Championship.
Eighty percent of male golfers over age 18 play golf for money. Skins, Eggs or Cats (all the same game) is a simple gambling game.
Over the next few weeks I am going to publish some Money Games (ways to bet on the golf course) stories. I will use the Bill Barr story to set it up. He was the best a getting “Fish” to bet on a game he knew he could win.
