As soon as EM bought it, fired almost all of the staff, and turned into X - it has been on a horrible downturn. Many of us have colleagues, friends and supporters on here that we refuse to bolt from... so we endure on.
I hear u RM. Keep rolling out your fine & helpful content.
Went with Ozzy's Apizza in Glendale. #ThinandCrispy

The Trump administration has finally admitted that its plan for a redesigned East Potomac Golf Links eliminates the road, bike path, and all other recreational areas at Hains Point.
Tom Fazio should be embarrassed to be involved in this heist of public lands.
Waiting to board flight to LAX via FLL, and two time Masters Champ Bernhard Langer casually comes strolling past with his rolling carry-on after deboarding a flight. A links legend that still flies commercial. Always grinding. #BlueCollarChampion
A few more from our visit to the project site at Whitehall Sands on Thursday @jayblasi design.
This Wednesday in SoCal - looks like my afternoon will be wide open before my redeye back east (At Sherwood on Tuesday).
Considering options, haven't been to @goathillpark yet, so that's the leader in the clubhouse. Last few trips there were Santa Ana, Riv, Bel Air, Maggie Hathaway, Mulholland Hills, and Lakeside. Will consider any ideas or invitations. Throw em at me...
A memorable visit today to the amazing @jayblasi project site at Whitehall Sands in West Central Wisconsin. And yes, its even more spectacular than any images will show.
Yesterday we grabbed a spin around the back 7 holes open for member preview play at Crooked Water GC in Minneapolis, and the just recently opened new shortcourse called "The Bend".
Holes of 75-120ish yards, just steps from the clubhouse.
In the planning stage, many members weren't completely sold on what a shortcourse would mean to the club. Now, it's THE spot and vibe that provides an opportunity for a 9 hole social in an hour or less. Holes from 75-120ish yards.
What a mighty transformative @jayblasi project for this club.
Next, we bolted 4 hrs east to @SentryWorld for a site visit with Superintendent Matt Smith regarding future changes for the upcoming Women's Senior Open in 2028.

Your superintendent’s value reaches far beyond the maintenance budget - and can represent millions to your club.
Their value extends far beyond managing the maintenance budget. Course conditions influence member satisfaction, the club’s reputation, and its ability to attract and retain members.
A great superintendent turns the resources entrusted to them into an experience people want to invest in.
For club leaders, understanding that connection changes the conversation about compensation, staffing, equipment, and support.

Adventurous Tuesday that involved planes, trains and automobiles and its still early in the day. WPB--Fort Lauderdale. Back to --WPB. Brightline train--Orlando (MCO), all before noon. We'll end up in Minneapolis before the gloaming and tour a renovation project site by a super talented architect in his prime. Tomorrow we'll walk two more sites in Wisconsin.
More specific on these projects in the coming days.
Travel is the best education.
