The best local swing not in the Shell Houston Open
The best golf swing in Houston not playing in this week’s Shell Houston Open belongs to longtime Houstonian Steve Elkington, one of the owners of the interesting golf website, Secret in the Dirt. I haven’t heard why Elk isn’t playing this week, which would have been his 25th Houston Open (I do know he was injured earlier in the season). But it’s Houston golf fans’ loss that we won’t be able to watch this syrupy smooth swing in action this week. Enjoy.
