@larryfleisher @brodskyme @NamethatYank Thanks for reading guys, appreciate it. Billy Martin book came out 10 years ago last month. Still the most unforgettable figure I covered in 45 years at daily newspapers.

Absolutely picture perfect day at Surburban Golf Club in North Jersey, the home course of @MarkCannizzaro.

A beautiful albeit tight A.W. Tillinghaust design with fun and challenging green complexes.

Oh, and I had a bat shit crazy Front 9 in my match with @brian_giuffra.

Baseball writers get a lot of grief on Hall of Fame, believe me I know from experience, but for Adam Vinatieri not to be a first ballot @NFL Hall of Famer is a complete joke.

Thanksgiving Day in our backyard. Look who showed up for dinner.

@AileenBowers20 @lindseyvonn That’s a good quote, Aileen.

[Bill Pennington @billmpennington]

I talked to @lindseyvonn about her comeback from retirement. Favorite line: “I feel like I have more juice in my lemon.” https://t.co/UTihlRKbFr

@johnquinn83 @LennRobbins @MarkCannizzaro You have a good memory, my friend. I’m not sure I’d recall any face from that period other than Steve Young, Joe Anzalone and Mickey Lione.

I’ve know John Sterling for 35 years and every encounter with him was a hoot. But the most fun was following him around for a week for this 2011 New York Times feature. The man is delightfully one of a kind.

A Swiftie since she was 13, @MikaelaShiffrin says of Taylor Swift: "She has been guiding me a little bit every step of the way." It is no different now.

The Sports Department of The New York Times, the day after. Game over, regrettably, but what a game it was.

[Bill Pennington @billmpennington]

If you want to know why @TylerKepner will always remain an indispensable read, this column is a prime example. Perspective, thorough reporting & a thoughtful, important interview with an often reclusive subject. Bravo. https://t.co/gZvE1vgOef

It might have been fitting if McIlroy, the man from Holywood, No. Ireland who is enduring a tough year on and off the golf course, nearly won at L.A. Country Club. Instead he fell just short. https://t.co/CVTsmdcJiR

In the months after the death of Wyndham Clark’s mother, who had introduced him to golf as a toddler, he struggled on and off the course. On Friday, he was briefly atop the leaderboard at the U.S. Open. https://t.co/2HXn7z2HXq by @billmpennington

I walked the golf course today with Rickie Fowler @usopengolf ready to write about his long arduous road back from #173 in the world. Then he gave the story an exclamation point with a historic, record-setting 62. https://t.co/RPua04mXl7

@frankreedy10 @PolyesterPalace Thanks, Frank. Tears mixed with laughter is an apt description of Billy’s life and the bio of it.

If watching the P.G.A. Champ final today, take note of the glorious, old trees everywhere. 100 years ago, a pioneering physician/club member decided to plant 40,000 tree seedlings. Or was it 50K? My story on that journey: https://t.co/IHRKHujaJ4

Why were golfers wearing caps backwards at Saturday’s P.G.A. Champ? It makes me feel cool,” Justin Rose said. But that’s not really why. I got the players to explain. https://t.co/INPYe9rV29
