Wow that was fun! We had live sports back and more importantly, it was golf! As someone who really loves putting, it was a tough watch as both Xander and Morikawa missed putts inside of 4 feet on the 17th green. Xander missed in the final round and perhaps more painfully, Morikawa missed in aContinue reading “The Weekly Preview – 2 – South Carolina Bound: 2020 RBC Heritage”

The Weekly Preview – 1 – Golf is Back: 2020 Charles Schwab Challenge
It has been almost 3 months since the last time there was a PGA event played. Due to the Covid19 Global pandemic, sports leagues around the world were cancelled and sports fans everywhere were left with a void in their lives.

AGWS – 20 – Is this Course the Best Deal for Golf in the Cities?
As unfortunate as it is to write, the game of golf is dying. Sure the diehards are stronger than ever but the casual fan is more elusive than ever. This is made evidently clear by shrinking PGA Tour viewership and the elimination of golf courses. One area where this is very clear is the southeastContinue reading “AGWS – 20 – Is this Course the Best Deal for Golf in the Cities?”
AGWS – 19 – George Floyd and Why We Need to Talk Golf Now!
As a result of what is happening in my home state of Minnesota, it seems disingenuous to talk about Golf or honestly anything other than the racism that is permeating our country. On May 25th, 2020 George Floyd, a black man, was murdered by a police officer on video for the world to see. Floyd,Continue reading “AGWS – 19 – George Floyd and Why We Need to Talk Golf Now!”
AGWS – 16 – Opinion: Should Golf Courses be Open during the Covid19 Pandemic?
As everyone is surely aware, we are living in the middle of a global health pandemic. Covid19, a strain of Coronavirus has swept through the world, locking down countries, crippling economies and (at the time of writing this) killed over 120,000 people.

AGWS – 15 – A Brief and Vulnerable Confession
This is it, the end of the week of daily posts from me. What started as an exercise in discipline evolved into an exercise in writing skills and rekindling my enthusiasm of golf. At the beginning of this week, I was still in disbelief of what the Covid19 virus had been and is still doingContinue reading “AGWS – 15 – A Brief and Vulnerable Confession”
AGWS – 14 – Who’s a good boy? : Dogs on a Golf Course
I grew up with no pets. My mom does NOT like any type of animal and because of this, I never had a dog, cat or anything growing up. The only pet I can remember for an extended period of time was a tank full of fish. My wife on the other hand LOVES dogsContinue reading “AGWS – 14 – Who’s a good boy? : Dogs on a Golf Course”
AGWS – 13 – Making Up a Golf Course
As has been discussed on this blog, I love golf course architecture. Growing up as a caddy at a Raynor (heavily designed in the 60s unfortunately) I got to see world class architecture up close and personal. I got to see how width and angles can affect strategy as well as how large green complexesContinue reading “AGWS – 13 – Making Up a Golf Course”
AGWS – 12 – My Golf Wishlist
One thing that is a big turn off for people getting into golf (or even for people who are already into golf) is the cost of everything. You need to buy the equipment, the ball to play with, pay to play, pay to practice (driving range) and even pay to buy clothes depending where youContinue reading “AGWS – 12 – My Golf Wishlist”
AGWS – 11 – Golf Candles
This is it, this is the beginning of the week of blogs. This is an exercise that only this reading audience and my wife can keep me accountable to, to write a blog every day this week. What better thing to write about than to highlight a small business? Especially in a time where smallContinue reading “AGWS – 11 – Golf Candles”
