Hideki’s caddie offering a quick bow to the golf course is packed with more poetry and poignancy than I can handle right now.

@Brendon_Thomas
, I am humbled and honored to take on the role of Editor at The Golfer’s Journal. Watching what TGJ has become over the past seven years has been pure joy, with all thanks to our members who enable everything we do.

Caddying was the best job I ever had—not for what it taught me about golf, but what it taught me about people. It formed my world view: Those who get it. And those who don’t. I still see the world this way. And Kuch has stamped himself as the latter.
“Making $5,000 is a great week.” Facing criticism over payment, Matt Kuchar defends the agreement he had with his fill-in caddie at Mayakoba.

Coaching my daughter’s 2nd/3rd grade hoops team. Refs are high schoolers. Each team pays them $20 before the game for their services and every time I hand over the cash I can’t keep from saying “Keep it fair, keep it fair.” No smile just confusion.

Rules changes weren't bothering me until this official change to "tied" from "all square" and "halved" has been highlighted this week

Opening after the Masters. Five stars. Two thumbs up. 10/10. They nailed it here—total fun park; you won’t want to leave. And a muni that might pay its city a dividend? This place could change things. Let’s hope…

2019 I’m playing in Chicago and my caddie is 22ish, looping his way though art grad school. I wrote about him in a book, and as a thanks he just sent me this. Despite reports to the contrary, people are awesome. Thank you, Jackson Wrede. Follow him on Instagram.

Look like a good place for a golf course? We think so. Sandy hills, wandering water, deep ravines. And land with a long family history.

The old golf tram at Manufacturers. Built by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, the same company that built the Comet at Hershey Park. Takes players from the lower 18th (par 4) to the upper green (par 5) and back to the clubhouse.

As my research for A Course Called America rolls on, I think I’m going to write a chapter consisting entirely of starter first tee wisdoms. Some classics:
“You’ve got to keep it below the hole here.”
“Long is dead.”
“Course plays longer than yardage on card.”
Your favorites?

He then took us along with him to Ireland ... then on the journey of a lifetime around Scotland ... and now, the U.S.

Airport in the dark hours. 8.30pm departure pushed to 3.45am. Several stages of flight delay gone by: The shock. The outrage. The resentment. Then the surrender, and the bond forged amid the stranded. I’d go to battle with any of these carpet sleeping brethren.
