Architect David McLay Kidd’s peer group of golf course designers, as least by his estimation, is small. It consists of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, Tom Doak, and Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner. This makes sense given that these four design/build operations have accounted for the majority of top...

Paint is sooooo 2023. Art in 2024 is all about thousands of tiny pieces of wood. Just ask Kansas City based artist Aaron Norris. Norris graced these pages last year when he completed a portrait of Tiger Woods made entirely out of golf tees. We didn’t think he could top that feat, but that was before we saw his latest Tiger tribute, crafted from 30,000 tiny blocks of wood. Feast your eyes.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

It’s an interesting life being a Golf Digest course-ranking panelist. The rules and ethos you must uphold resemble those of the military or a fraternity. Break any of them and a dishonorable discharge awaits. The panel, and really the Golf Digest brand, is much bigger than any individual. In fact, we don’t like our panelists’ identities to be public. Terry Inslee was an exception.

Sunrise on Shane Bacon’s old caddie stomping grounds — the Old Course at St. Andrews (Photo by Brian Oar / Golf News Net) Most golfers know a full round of golf is 18 holes. Half of a round of golf is nine holes. But why does a golf course have 18 holes? Why not 20? Or 10? Or some other number?

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
