Thank you, Carolyn! We agree. University of Cal., Berkeley is one of those schools researching and supporting these benefits.

Great column. Gratitude is catching and impacts the giver and the receiver. There is new research supporting the health benefits as well.

It looks awesome, almost as good as The Palm Beach Par 3!

Comment on Bud Lewis, the PGA’s Oldest Member, Passes by Tom Bedell

Bob–I updated my post on Errie Ball at http://bit.ly/tru3S4 to indicate he is now the oldest PGA of America member, and took note of your post on Bud there. Next to Best Player to Never Have Won a Major, I’m not sure this is a position one necessarily aspires to. But, as always, it beats the alternative.

Comment on Most Unusual Golf Sign plus a Tot Hill Farm Rating by Bob Fagan

Rich, I have no doubt that you are right on both counts, but so was I. This staff reported to me that they have since taken down the sign, but I can assure you that I personally took these pictures and the sign was at Tot Hill Farm the day I played. I’ve never seen anything like it. Secondly, when I played the golf course, the nines may have been reversed so I don’t doubt that what was my 6th hole has become the 15th. Thanks for your attention to detail.

I would like to agree with your evaluation, but I have played this course several times over the last two years and have never seen this sign at 14 or any other hole. Even though 14 is probably the trickiest green on the course. Also, your picture is of #15, not 6. Not sure how extreme it is. Just a good test of concentration.

Comment on America’s Most Fun Golf Course – Old Macdonald at Bandon Dunes Resort, Oregon by Adam R

Bob, thanks for the great write up. Bandon is tops on my list of places to play. I have got one other person that is ready to go and if we can’t find two more we have decided to head there in 2013 no matter what. I respect your opinion greatly and it was nice to hear you liked Old Mac! I have seen so many comments from people that they really did not like the course but it seems like a course I would personally love, and your review has only enforced that hopefully accurate personal opinion!

Comment on Men’s Golf Trip Packing List by Bob Fagan

Good catch Chad. The travel cover for the clubs is in the same spot as the suitcase – can’t go anywhere without them both! I do add a hood that fits over the top of my golf bag for rain.
