  • Golf Insurance Matters

    The latest article in our how to series turns the spotlight on some of the unexpected things that can happen at the driving range – from ricochets to self-inflicted injuries – and why it pays to be insured. With winter closing in and less daylight hours in which to hit the course the best place to keep swinging is at the driving range. The driving range is a great hangout for golfers of all skill levels and abilities. Given that your local driving range could be filled with hackers and heroes it’s not impossible that an innocent trip to whack some balls could end in disaster, injury or a sizeable legal bill.

  • La Reservae Golf Club, Costa Del Sol

    A new course designed by Cabell B. Robinson, La Reserva Club De Golf had only recently opened but I would never have guessed. On arrival it was obvious the course was in perfect condition. The opening hole at La Reserva is a straight par four with well designed bunkers and an attractive green – a good, if understated opener, but on the 2nd tee, however, the front nine opens up before you and you get an idea of the challenge that lies ahead. Set out in a small valley with wonderful changes in elevation, attractive contours and great scenery, the next eight holes weave back in forth in fantastic fashion.

  • Lie of the Land

    A caddie at The Old Course at St Andrews, Turnberry or Troon would tell you that it takes time to get to know the subtleties and nuances of links land and learn the bounce of the ball. Often slopes and natural features can funnel the ball towards the hole, squeeze extra yards from a drive or prevent a ball from going in a hazard.

Z. Johnson's Caddie Playing Champions Q-School


  
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – One of the most notable players in this week’s field at The McGladrey Classic, Zach Johnson will be without his right-hand man as he looks to tame the Seaside Course.
Longtime caddie Damon Green, who has been on Johnson’s bag for several PGA Tour wins, including the 2007 Masters, is not at Sea Island this week, instead opting to try his hand at qualifying for the Champions Tour.
“My boy Damon fired me,” Johnson joked of Green, who sits seven shots off the lead at the regional qualifier in Winter Garden, Fla., after an opening 73.
With Green otherwise occupied with his own professional pursuit, Johnson is turning this week to Chad Reynolds, who currently caddies for Nick Watney.
“I know Chad. He’s a good player, and he’s been out here a number of times,” explained Johnson, who lives a short distance from the Seaside Course. “I just wanted to find somebody that I didn’t really have to worry about.”
The veteran admitted he considered having a friend or family member tote the bag this week, but opted to go with Reynolds in an event where he, like many in this week’s field, hope to do especially well because of his ties to the local area.
“This is a big week for me,” he added. “I wanted to get somebody that really is a professional caddie, and I know I’ve got one.”
