1 October 2019 By Paul @ Golfing Herald

Iconic Image of Ian Poulter celebrating Europe's victory at the 2018 Ryder Cup

Earlier today I watched some of the Ryder Cup Captains Press Conference, publicised as '1 Year to Go'. I thought that can't be right as it seems only like yesterday when Europe regained the Ryder Cup at Le Golf National, Paris, winning by 17 & 1/2 points to 10 & 1/2 points. But yes it is correct.

On this occasion the final round of the rain-interrupted 2019 USPGA Genesis Open, where golf commentators are openly discussing the pace of play of the winner J.B. Holmes rather than the quality of his golf. Golfing Herald’s take on the pace of play is expressed through 'Competition Conundrum', a fictional golfing story loosely based … [Read more...] about Golf Competition Conundrum

Scorecard Semiotics

21 December 2018 By Paul @ Golfing Herald

The original artwork for the London Underground map, the brainchild of London Underground electrical draughtsman Harry Beck

The Tube Map is the iconic schematic for the London Underground system using a combination of colours and shapes. In Scorecard Semiotics, Golfing Herald examines a sample of golf course scorecards to present an argument that just like the Tube map, the golf scorecard should also be viewed as a design and semiotic icon. Semiotics Semiotics is the study of sign process. Signs … [Read more...] about Scorecard Semiotics
