The Journal
Everything we've written, newest first.
Play, instruction, gear, courses and travel, and the hour after the round. No listicles, no "ten drivers ranked" clickbait, no gear reviews written from a press release.
The nine-hole Saturday is the best golf there is
Two hours, half a set, a tee sheet with room on it. What the game gives back when you stop trying to get your money's worth out of eighteen.
02
What the practice range never teaches you
Fourteen perfect swings from a flat lie in dead air will not survive contact with a Sunday morning. Nine things to practise instead.
03
Three courses worth the drive (and the flask)
An old muni with greens like a truant, a hilltop nine with no bunkers at all, and a resort track better than it needs to be.
04
The case for one good wedge (and nothing else)
Four wedges, four numbers, one confident swing. We spent a month carrying a single lofted club and stopped guessing entirely.
05The drink after the round is the point
The score is the least interesting thing you'll talk about. A short defence of the hour that makes the other four worth it.
The Sunday Pin Sheet
One email, every Sunday. Reading, not marketing.
A short dispatch: what we played, what we broke, what we drank, and the one thing worth trying next weekend.
