One of my favorite moments from a golf movie is the scene in Tin Cup where Kevin Costner questions Don Johnson about if he had ever shot even par with just a 7 iron. Johnson’s response of, “It never even occurred to me to try,” is so fitting for the golfing industry and the status…

  With the threat of showers in the forecast, I rescheduled my Maplewood round in favor of a round at The Golf Club At Echo Falls Country Club.

  My recent round that I played at a long time favorite course from a longer set of tees made me realize something I had always known, I stink on the back 9 there. I have three holes on the front that give me a few problems, but for the most part, scooting around the…

  So there I was, playing a course that I had played hundreds of times back in the day, but from a place that I had never attempted before. Back when I started playing there, they only had red, white and blue tees. Today, there’s purple, gold, white, blue and black. The question that is…
