Conversations with three of my favorite golf writers -- Tom Coyne, Jim Hartsell, and Shane Ryan -- on how they approach the gargantuan task of writing a book.

Women make up a little more than half the population, but account for less than a quarter of on-course golfers. Golf’s history of exclusion is to blame, and it manifests itself in ways that are obvious and subtle. 

Episode 4 of the Lying Four podcast examines golf’s culture of discrimination against women from four different perspectives: Karen Crouse of The New York Times, architect and former ASGCA president Jan Bel Jan, the women of Grueter Golf, and Craig Annis of the USGA.

Twenty years ago this month, the Supreme Court cemented Casey Martin's right to use a golf cart on the PGA Tour. Thanks to Casey Martin, Doug Ferguson of the Associated Press, Prof. Michael Ashley Stein of Harvard Law School, and Prof. Andrew Siegel of the Seattle University School of Law.

Rob Collins and Tad King's renovation of the Links at Overton Park, a historic nine-hole golf course in Memphis, Tenn., offers a window into the juggling act inherent to golf course construction. Thanks to Collins (@KingCollinsGolf on Twitter) and Marc Burger (@shaper13 on Twitter) for their insights.
