Has it been 10 years already? Man, time flies when you're playing, talking and writing about golf. I am so grateful for the opportunity to keep doing this for @GolfPass . Can't wait to see what the next decade brings.

Notes on a decade spent traveling the world of golf

Since becoming a full-time golf writer in 2014, the game has brought more lessons and blessings than I could have imagined.

The PGA Tour’s stiff-arming of the USGA and R&A’s attempts to make golf more sustainable by moderating the distance the golf ball travels will go down as one of the most selfish, short-sighted and misguided moves by any major sports organization in its history.

Gnarly in Nebraska: Landmand Golf Club

The first 18-holer by architects Rob Collins and Tad King targets all of the modern, avid golfer’s pleasure centers at once. It is an exciting addition to the new breed of adventure-golf destination...

PAWLEYS PLANTATION G.&C.C. Pawleys Island, S.C. Jack Nicklaus, 1988 $150 With restored green perimeters, crucial tree removal and milder bunkering, a golf course that helped raise me remains very demanding but is also ready for the coming decades of golfers. I ❤️ Pawleys.

STONEHOUSE GOLF CLUB Toano, Va. Mike Strantz, 1996 $99 Course #570 The Maverick’s most lightly-bunkered course is nevertheless as bold and unusual as anything else you’re likely to see. Sweeping greens, ravines, dynamite par 3s and a cracking finish make it memorable.

A highlight of my 2020 in golf today: a round at the redone Charleston Municipal Golf Course. Architect @troymillergolf nailed an homage to Seth Raynor templates + some original creations in that mode. As if the city wasn’t great enough, it now has a top-tier municipal course.

Was paired up with an ER physician from Georgia this morning with an absolutely majestic assortment of clubs from the late 90s and early 00s. Only thing missing: pleated pants.
