I’ve been lucky enough to have worked in golf for a long time, worked with people, organizations and courses that most golf fans know. With all of my years being in golf, without fail, the question I always get when I meet a fellow golf enthusiast is: “Have you been to Augusta?” To play? Not […]

We had made it to tournaments on The Challenge Tour and even The European Tour, but hadn’t really succeeded in making the final breakthrough. As it began to dawn on […]
