This Month's Highlights:

Golf in the News!!

The USGA and R&A have released findings of a joint study which concluded that driving distance is not on the rise in the professional game. The study looked at driving distance across seven different professional circuits and it concluded that from 2003 - 2015, distance off the tee rose slightly on only four circuits. Those were the PGA Tour, PGA Tour Champions, Web.com Tour and the European Tour. That increase, though, was normal and was reported at only 0.2 yards per year or a 1% increase. Additionally, three tours actually saw a decrease in driving distance. These circuits were the Japan Golf Tour, LPGA, and the Ladies European Tour. The study also found that the distribution of driving distances across the PGA and European Tours remained proportional. To read more on this article, Click Here

In other news, Golfers in Palmetto, Florida were recently shocked to see 15' to 16' giant alligator strolling across the course. Many are comparing him to a dinosaur or a monster from a horror movie. In fact, an employee of Buffalo Creek Golf Course said that this particular alligator roams the area all the time and even considered by some to be a 'mascot' of the course. Word is that this is a great place to come and play.
