Why Golf is the Thinking Person’s Game

World Golf Hall of Famer Chi Chi Rodriguez once said, “Golf is a thinking man’s game. You can have all the shots in the bag, but if you don’t know what to do with them, you’ve got trouble”.

Headline: Three wins by Scottish golfers in two weeks on major professional tours.  Sound like something worth writing about? The tour void left by Braveheart, a.k.a., Colin Montgomerie may signal a welcome sign of life from the Scots, but hardly the war cry of revolution.

Then Scott Martin Laird earned his title at the PGA TOUR’s Bay Hill invitational.  Are these wins are a sign that Scottish professional golf has made a resurrection?

Millionaire and business giant Donald Trump has been hailed as one of the shrewdest (not to mention richest) entrepreneur of his time. One would think that maintaining a vast financial empire would take up most of his time but that didn’t stop Trump from making a mint in the golfing industry.
