David Owen: hybrid clubs can change the world
MY FRIEND RUDY BROKE his elbow six years ago. He underwent a series of painful, semi-unsuccessful operations, which left his right arm two inches shorter than his left arm and created the possibility that his forearm would break off if you shook his hand too hard. naturally, he decided to keep playing golf. To reduce the stress on his remanufactured elbow, he switched to some peculiar-looking, old-guy clubs, called iron-woods. They look like fairway woods, but they come in every loft. [...]

Adding salt to the loophole, Pak's official induction won't take place until 2007, further exposing the gap between bureaucratic thinking and common sense. [...]

The angry golfer - From the Gallery - Letter to the Editor
My greatest fear in golf is not the 230-yard carry over marshland or the downhill four-footer for bogey, but the bag-drop area you call a workspace. Although your service was designed to enhance the high-end, daily-fee experience, the short journey from car to clubhouse is an essential part of my pre-round ritual. A few minutes of quality trunk time--double-checking the raingear, preparing for five hours without a cell phone, sticking my wallet and keys in a side pocket--is not a routine I feel the need to justify.
