  1. For those curious about Korn Ferry, I actually worked with them a few times back when I was a member of the working world. I'd say they're most well known for high-level (C-Suite) executive recruiting. They've expanded into a more general Human Resources/Org. Development consulting firm. They're very high end and do good work, but I never would have expected to see them sponsoring a professional golf tour.
  2. I've used the Winn AVS grip for the past three seasons. It's an oversize grip with a taper. I also switched to a cross-handed grip at the same time that I began using the Winn AVS. I always had trouble using a cross-handed grip with a traditional putter grip, but the cross-handed grip seemed much more normal/controllable with the tapered oversize grip. Although I don't have data to support it, I can say that my putting has definitely improved since the switch.
  3. The Ocean Course at Kiawah. Played the Dye tees (6,450 yds.). We played as a twosome, both 7-8 handicaps and both shot mid-90s. As we're coming down 18 bumming out about our scores, the caddy tells us we shouldn't be too disappointed. Most of the people he caddies for don't break 100. Small consolation, but still a memorable experience. Also, Old Corkscrew in Estero, FL is an under-rated monster. It's a Nicklaus Signature design, open to the public and well worth a visit. Update - I had the chance to visit The Concession (Bradenton, FL) earlier this year. I was a spectator at The Concession Cup between top amateurs from the US and British Isles (including Ireland). The Concession is always rated as one of the top course in Florida and it deserves the rating. I now refer to Old Corkscrew as the "poor man's Concession." They're both Nicklaus designs and both well east of I-75 (i.e., middle of nowhere), neither has any significant housing in view, and they're both very difficult. Of course, conditioning at The Concession is better.
