Ferris Brothers Launch The Golf Glove

Friends of mine have launched a new golf-oriented website and online community. The Golf Glove launched earlier in 2009 and has been growing steadily since.

The founders are brothers Jason and Andre Ferris. Andre is the Canadian Regional Franchisor for Parmasters Golf Training Centers Inc.

You can find The Golf Glove at www.thegolfglove.com. It contains a wealth of content, news, views and interesting golf-related information.

You can also subscribe to their newsletter to bring a great source of golf information directly to your email inbox.


This past weekend was busy with quite a bit of work and lots of relaxing as well. I introduced my two sons into the western movie genre with the modern flick, 3:10 to Yuma. We definitely enjoyed it.

I also picked up two more golf-related books.

Published in 1993, Great Golf Stories boasts 21 individual short stories. It was edited by Gordon Jarvie and includes stories by incredible writers such as Stephen Leacock, A.A. Milne, John Updike and many others.

The Golf 100 is Robert McCord’s 2001 account of the top 100 golfers to ever play the game. Of course, and unfortunately, McCord actually focuses on the top 100 male golfers. He does address female golf, dedicating some 20 pages at the end of the book to his take on the top 40 female golfers. This compared to some 360 pages devoted to the men.

But, setting aside the sexism, McCord’s account dedicates multiple pages to each of the golfers that make his top 100 male golfers list.

Remember, the book was published in 2001. So, who holds the number one position, in 2001, in McCord’s eyes? Jack Nicklaus.

You can then likely guess number two. Yes, it’s Tiger Woods.

Rounding out the top ten, in McCord’s view, in order from two to ten, we have Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones, Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Walter Hagen and number ten, Gene Sarazan.

Some interesting mentions include Vijay Singh way down at number 78, but of course this book was published before Vijay challenged Tiger for the number one ranking in the world. Lee Janzen makes the list at number 87. And gregarious John Daly rounds out the list at number 100.
