Commemorative plaques honor Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, more

When something historic happens in golf, details are etched on a plaque to preserve the story.

Golfers love their history.

So occasionally when something historic happens in a tournament, at some point down the road the details of the event are etched on a plaque, which is then placed in the ground or set into a giant boulder, preserving the story and re-telling it for years to come.

Jack Nicklaus has a few of these commemorative plaques. So does Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones and, of course, Tiger Woods, who has one at Torrey Pines among other places. Rory McIlroy has a new one as well in Scotland.

Some plaques pay homage to once-in-a-lifetime shots by golfers who will always be remembered for that one shining moment. Here’s a closer look at a collection of plaques at golf courses around the world.

Dude Perfect, Rickie Fowler take Ben Hogan’s circa 1950’s clubs for a spin around Colonial’s Horrible Horseshoe

Fowler estimated that Hogan’s persimmon driver flew 20 yards shorter than his Cobra gamer.

Technology has come a long way since the days of Ben Hogan.

On Tuesday, ahead of this week’s Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas, Rickie Fowler and three members of the crew from Dude Perfect, the sports and comedy group, played Colonial Country Club’s famed “Horrible Horseshoe,” the nickname for hole Nos. 3-5, with Hogan’s clubs from the 1950s.

Fowler estimated that Hogan’s persimmon driver flew 20 yards shorter than his Cobra gamer.

“With the current ball, it isn’t as much as you would think if you hit it out of the middle,” he said. “Irons are still irons but it’s the mishits where the difference is most noticeable.”

He noted, “The amount of precision it took with the old ball and old equipment is very different compared to today.”

Throwback equipment has developed a niche following in recent years and Fowler is a fan of teeing it up with equipment from another era.

“I still love going back and playing with some old stuff I have,” Fowler said. “It makes hitting current stuff especially driver feel a lot more inviting.”

As for Tyler Toney, Garrett Hilbert and Coby Cotton of Dude Perfect – whose YouTube channel has more than 60 million subscribers – Fowler said they held their own.

“They did not embarrass themselves,” Fowler said. “Ty is the best of the group but Garrett and Colby hit some solid shots considering their handicaps.”

Fowler noted a couple shots were not so great but he cut them some slack as they weren’t given a chance to warm-up with the Hogan relics. Dude Perfect also played in the Wednesday pro-am with Keegan Bradley and K.H. Lee.

Like 60 million others, @Keegan_Bradley's sons are huge fans of @DudePerfect.

The Hogan clubs also made their way to the range at Colonial, where Rafa Campos and Justin Rose put them through their paces.

“They look small, no doubt. No room for error, and yeah, very sharp. Everything is very straight-edged,” Rose said of the irons.

“Why can’t we go back to this?” Campos said after hitting a driver.

Rose took one look at Hogan’s short stick and said, “I mean, no wonder he didn’t enjoy putting.”

Photos: The best (and worst) of World Golf Hall of Fame plaques

Some of the bronze plaques for the 176 members of the World Golf Hall of Fame are better than others.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — It’s golf’s highest honor.

To be elected into the World Golf Hall of Fame is to be enshrined among the greatest. There have been only 176 men and women to be inducted in the Hall.

When the facility opened at World Golf Village in 1998, the members were commemorated with crystals but they were mounted in the floor and took up too much space for special events. So, the crystals were removed and bronze plaques replaced them. Some are better than others. According to the Florida Times Union, the plaques will not be relocated to Pinehurst, N.C., where the Hall will take up residency again in 2024.

Some of the plaques, it really helps to have the name written below it because the resemblance is minimal at best. See if you can name the Hall member.

Phil Mickelson joins list of players to finish top 10 at the Masters in four different decades

When your name is next to Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus, you’re doing something right.

AUGUSTA, GA. — Finishing in the top 10 of the Masters is an impressive accomplishment no matter the year. After all, Augusta National Golf Club isn’t for the faint of heart.

But to do so in four different decades? That’s a testament to a player’s longevity and ability to navigate Alister MacKenzie’s masterpiece among the Georgia pines.

Stats guru Justin Ray from the Twenty First Group was first to point out that Phil Mickelson had a shot to join the exclusive group of players with a top 10 this week, and Sunday afternoon he did just that.

Mickelson, who missed last year’s event after his controversial statements and move to LIV Golf, shot a 7-under 65 during the final round of the 2023 Masters to shoot up the leaderboard into a tie for second place with Brooks Koepka. A three-time winner of the green jacket (2004, 2006, 2010), Lefty has now finished inside the top 10 a whopping 15 times in more than 30 appearances at Augusta National.

2023 Masters: A look at the record book at Augusta National Golf Club

We offer some of the most interesting records at the Masters: birdies, eagles, cuts made and more.

There have been plenty of records set since the Masters Tournament started in 1934. Hole-by-hole scoring records, round records, tournament records – tons of interesting marks and a Hall of Fame list of familiar names stacked in the official book for Augusta National Golf Club.

Which record matters most?

That has to be most wins, and that would be Jack Nicklaus with six (1963, 1965, 1966, 1972, 1975, 1986). Tiger Woods is entered this year, and a victory by Woods (1997, 2001, 2022, 2005, 2019) would tie Nicklaus for that record. They are followed by Arnold Palmer with four titles (1958, 1960, 1962, 1964), then five players with three wins at Augusta National (Jimmy Demaret, Sam Snead, Gary Player, Nick Faldo and Phil Mickelson).

Texas Tech’s Ludvig Aberg wins 2022 Ben Hogan Award

Aberg received the award at Colonial Country Club alongside fellow finalists Sam Bennett and Eugenio Chacarra.

Texas Tech’s Ludvig Aberg will compete for a national title later this week, but he’s already got some hardware for his stellar season.

The junior from Sweden won the 2022 Ben Hogan Award presented by PNC Bank, which annually honors the best men’s college golfer based on collegiate, amateur and professional events over the last 12 months. Aberg is the first-ever winner from Texas Tech and the third from the Big 12 Conference over the last five years, joining Viktor Hovland (Oklahoma State, 2019) and Doug Ghim (Texas, 2018). The award also earns Aberg an exemption into the PGA Tour’s 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge.

Aberg recently won the Big 12 Championship, tied for sixth at the NCAA New Haven Regional and will compete at the NCAA Championship this week at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Swede also has a runner up at the 2021 European Amateur under his belt, along with a T-30 at the DP World Tour’s Scandinavian Mixed and a 51^st place finish at the PGA Tour 2021 Butterfield Bermuda Championship.

Aberg received the award at an event at Colonial Country Club alongside fellow finalists Sam Bennett (Texas A&M) and Eugenio Chacarra (Oklahoma State).
