Bob Toski Turns 100 And Shares His Hard Truths

A Century of Golf Wisdom

The game just lost its most vocal teacher, but Bob Toski is still here. He turned 100 on Friday, September 18. That is a full century of watching golf evolve. Toski has seen it all from the days of Ben Hogan to the modern era of Scottie Scheffler. His voice carries weight because he has taught the best. He doesn't just watch from the sidelines. He has strong opinions on how the sport is played today. Golf.com reported that the October 2013 issue of Golf Magazine featured Toski discussing his teaching style. He believes in aggravating students so they play better. It is a method he calls tough love. That approach has worked for decades. Now, at 100, he is looking back at the changes in the game. His perspective is rare. Few people have lived through as many shifts in equipment and style as he has.
