INSIDE GOLF with Jeff Shain
Jeff Shain has spent the past eight years covering golf for The Miami Herald, catching the wave just as Tiger Woods began his run of four consecutive major titles in 2000-01. Jeff covers 14-15 tournaments a year, touching all the tours across the PGA Tour, LPGA, Champions and Nationwide circuits. Jeff also was the one who got Annika Sorenstam to go public in 2003 with her interest in trying a PGA Tour event.
An acknowledged hacker, Jeff still has trouble breaking 100 but can boast of tearing up the landscape on some of the nation’s top courses. Perhaps that explains his most vivid golfing memory as that of the flagstick denying a holeout for birdie at No. 9 when he played Augusta National in 2001.

Ken Hartis has been writing about the LPGA for two years at Hound Dogs LPGA Blog... (www.hdlpga.blogspot.com).
After watching the Masters and many other PGA events for the first 40+ years of his life, Ken got hooked on the LPGA when Grace Park won the Kraft Nabisco Championship in 2004. Noticing the dearth of internet information on womens professional golf, he launched HDLPGA in July of 2006 and is now almost as addicted to blogging as he is the LPGA.
Ken lives in Douglasville, GA with his wife and 13-year-old son and has worked in IT systems administration for 20 years. He just recently carded his first round of 100 and anxiously awaits the day he breaks that mark.
