Catching Up, Resetting, and Looking Ahead

Back in early March of this year, I finally took a leap that I had been putting off for far too long: starting this blog. Along the way, I wrote about a few professional events including my own trip to The Masters, but since mid-April this blog has been silent. Life, work, golf, and everything in between provided convenient excuses for why I couldn’t sit down and write. Still, even in that absence, I couldn’t stop thinking about what I wanted this space to be.

Much has happened in the world of professional golf in those four months. Three men’s majors and all five women’s majors have been played, LIV and the PGA Tour have both concluded their seasons, and the LPGA continues towards their December finish. American and European Ryder Cup team selections have been finalized leading up to the event at Bethpage Black later this month. Off the course, leadership changes at the PGA Tour have added more uncertainty to the ongoing battle between the Tour and LIV Golf. All of it served as a reminder of how fast the golf world moves when you’re not keeping pace.

My own season has been no less dramatic. What promised to be my best year of golf since returning to tournaments in 2023 quickly unraveled. Poor tournament performances, missed opportunities, and injuries – including a hand injury in late July that ultimately ended my season – turned excitement and anticipation into frustration and disappointment. Despite these setbacks I have shifted my focus onto rebuilding my mind and body for a bigger and better run in 2026.

As all these events unfolded, the weight of missed opportunities for this blog kept growing. At times it felt like this project was destined to be just another one of my ideas I never fully acted on. But I don’t want that. Golf has always given me so much enjoyment and meaning in life, and this site is where I want to put that passion into words.

Going forward I have made a commitment to myself to post at least once per week on this site. Along the way I’ll be rolling out some upgrades – including a slightly refreshed logo – and creating new social media accounts to help build a wider community around this project.

Over the coming weeks and months, I will be diving into a mix of stories:

• Professional tour recaps – reflections and analysis on the 2025 PGA Tour, LIV, and LPGA seasons.
• State of the Game – where professional golf stands today, where it may be headed, and how media shapes our interactions with the sport.
• Personal Stories – my own playing experiences, tournament prep, practice, and my history in this game and what it means to me.

and many more.

I want this blog to be more than leaderboards and scorecards. I want to tell the stories of how golf shapes us through the different times and seasons of our lives.

This is my fresh start, and I can’t wait to share the journey ahead with you.
