Had to say bye to one of the best companions I could ask for. He was spoiled everywhere we went. Plenty of things to chase, including treats. From Merion-Rivercrest-Chicago Golf-Union League, it is hard to feel slighted by the adventures we went on together. RIP Wrigley.

Bittersweet day today. Ending a fantastic 8 seasons at Chicago Golf Club. A huge thanks to all of the members at this wonderful club, the employees who made work fun every day, vendors who supported along the way, and neighbors/friends who made my family feel at home from day 1.

I always said our industry is similar to football coaches. A bad year or two are weighted even after winning championships. Changing personnel, bosses, weather, and multiple adjustments daily. These last few weeks coaching changes/rumors are eye opening. Never stop grinding
