Episode Eight – Masters Picks
Posted on April 3, 2018 Leave a Comment
In 2014, I said I would always pick Bubba Watson to win the Masters if he showed solid form leading up to the tournament. After Jordan Spieth won in 2015, I said he would win so many green jackets that you’d be a fool not to pick him every year. I am picking Justin Rose […]
Episode Seven – Evolution
Posted on March 13, 2018 Leave a Comment
I don’t think anybody would be surprised to hear that the professional game of golf is rapidly changing. It is bigger, faster, more athletic, stronger, more precise and a much bigger business. While many in the game blame the ball, it’s really much more than that. Paul Stankowski won twice on the PGA Tour, in […]
Episode Six – Golf Media
Posted on March 7, 2018 Leave a Comment
This was a tough one to approach because of how embedded in the golf “media” I am and not wanting to be too much of a homer or critic. I don’t think there is a sport that struggles with how to appeal to a wide range of audiences quite like golf. That isn’t a criticism […]
Episode Five – The Rise of TopGolf
Posted on February 21, 2018 Leave a Comment
Confession: I love TopGolf. I love that it’s fun. I love that it’s inclusive. I love that it is golf. I grew up with my parents taking me to the bowling alley on Friday nights because they were playing in a league with friends. Because it was their social/competitive outlet, it became a bit of […]
Episode Four – Is Golf Healthy?

Yes, the NCAA Tournament is the next major sporting event to keep an eye on, but with the Super Bowl in the past, there is a gap in the sports landscape that needs to be filled. Is golf poised for a bigger piece of the pie? With the help of Ryan Ballengee of The Golf […]
Episode 3 – The Tiger Effect
Posted on January 24, 2018 Leave a Comment
This is a huge week in golf for a number of reasons, but the most notable has to be the return of Tiger Woods to competitive golf. As somebody who was standing there when Tiger’s glutes didn’t fire in 2015, I can confidently say that this comeback feels different. Every shot will be tweeted and […]
Episode 2

I saw Dustin Johnson torch the field in Maui two weeks ago. To me, it’s hard to argue somebody is a better golfer in the world than DJ, but that’s what arguments are for. Is he the consensus number one? No, especially if you track the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings. That would be Rickie Fowler. Rickie?! Yep. […]
The Perfect Number Podcast

I had been toying with the idea of podcast for a long time and finally came to the realization it was time to take the plunge. But what do you produce to be relevant and not muddy the already-crowded waters? I’m a bit of a geek. I’m definitely a golf geek. Why not explore my […]
More Than My Pro
Posted on November 30, 2017 Leave a Comment
Two completely different “events” have converged in a perfect storm of my golf world this week. The first: I’ve been sucked into the social media war of words about proper golf swing construction and instruction. Primarily, it has centered around Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee’s various takes, many of which have drawn the ire of […]
Right Place, Right Time

Every broadcaster wants a special game to call. You can’t control when you will get one, but you have to make the most of it when it falls in your lap. It’s icing on the cake when your stream-of-consciousness final call goes viral and inspires a bunch of online quotes. Once I get the DVD, […]
