Got an email from a friend the other day with a long list of reasons why he loves golf. For a couple of years now, I’ve ended the GOLF SMARTER Podcast with a quote submitted by listeners.

Please click on the Hey Fred button below and tell me why you love golf. If I use yours to close the podcast before the 2010 PGA Championship, I’ll send you a book.

Frequently I’ll receive emails from listeners of the GOLF SMARTER podcast requesting shows about golf etiquette, how to tactfully get slow players to pick up their pace, or how to nicely ask someone to keep down the noise while your shooting.  On July 8, I’ll be recording a conversation with Rick Pipal, who’s online character is Duffy MacMulligan, the “Pro To Call” (protocal, get it? Cute.) His website is a great resource of golf etiquette, a necessary element to enjoy the game, but not traditionally covered by instructors. If you have any questions or issues that you’d like me to cover when speaking to Rick…er, Duffy, please write me before July 8.
