The best junior golf programs aren’t trying to build tiny golf assassins.
They’re teaching kids how to miss, take turns, imagine shots, cheer for each other, and notice the grandma walking through the rain who needs an umbrella
That’s a better foundation than any grip out there. Full post in our bio.
Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw will be celebrated by a multi-platform project, in a partnership with the two course architects, that will include books and a major documentary series.
Both will be produced by golf journalist Adam Lawrence of @oxfordgolfcons, and producer Vaughn Halyard of @TheTsl (a former senior exec w/ Sony Music, Columbia Records, Motown, and Disney Studios).

@garrett_TFE …“If Ross and Tillinghast, the great old architects, would have seen the pantloads of money, I mean truckloads of money, we’re talking shiploads of stupid money these fools are willing to pay me, they would have done some things differently.”
@KylePorterNS and @PasonJage are two of my favorite original thinkers; it’s just a lucky coincidence for me that their thoughts too tend to obsess over golf.
Just finished a research project with more book reading than any season of my life. It reminded me that books may matter more than ever in a world built for the scroll. Now done, I feared my free time would revert to the algos. Then, @normalsport delivered the antidote.
Joe Hancock has worked with enough great architects to notice the common thread:
The best ones don’t chase whatever is trendy.
They have design tenets. Convictions. A way of seeing golf that shows up job after job.

Augusta has probably done more than any course in America to create unrealistic expectations for course conditioning.
Your club in Minnesota on May 1st is not failing. You’re just subconsciously comparing it to a place with world-class staff and unlimited budget. #TheMasters
