GOLF’s 60th anniversary: A look back at the events that made the 1990s - Golf.com

Spot the Big Bertha (July 1991)

“Bigger is better. That’s the rallying cry of club manufacturers.”

Tearjerker of the ’90s

“Gently, Ben” by John Feinstein (June 1995): “Every once in a great while, golf gets it exactly right. Call it fate — as Ben Crenshaw did — call it blind luck, or call it magic. Any of the above will fit the 1995 Masters, one of those dramas that comes along perhaps once every 20 years … to remind us why millions of words are written every year about the wonders of Augusta National.”

Golfing with the stars

A who’s who of A-listers made appearances in our pages throughout the decade, from Michael Jordan (Jan. 1992) to Jack Nicholson (May 1991) to Bill Clinton (Feb. 1993).

Kick-ins (1970-1979)

INTRIGUING HEADLINE (AND BYLINE) OF THE DECADE “Buck Nekkid at Amen Corner” By The Rev. Bert H. Hatch (Apr. 1994)

TALK THE TALK, TW! “ ‘I want to be the best golfer ever,’ Woods says in point-blank fashion. ‘I don’t know whether I’ll achieve it or not, but it’s a helluva goal. I think I’d be more worried if I set the bar too low a goal and achieved it too easily.’ ” (“Ahead of His Time,” Feb. 1992)

THIS IS A TEST “Beginning here and now, we’ve gone beyond mere listings of woods and irons to a new age in equipment coverage. We call it ClubTest.” (“ClubTest ’92,” Mar. 1992)

FEHERTY ARRIVES “In describing Crooked Stick Golf Club, he said, ‘It’s so long that figuring distance on some holes, you have to reckon in the curvature of the Earth.’ ” (“Irish Cream,” Apr. 1992)

DAMN GOOD ADVICE “Don’t listen to any advice.” —Tom Kite to newly minted pro Phil Mickelson (“Take Note, Phil…” July 1992)
