D.A. Weibring’s phone bill probably doubled or tripled last week.

Steve Wolfard the lead architect and Josh Peters the talented young design associate on the TPC Four Seasons course maintained almost a continuous telephone and text... Read Full Story

Hope this week finds you well. Earlier this week I had the opportunity to spend a morning with many of my cohorts at the Four Seasons for the Media Preview of the refurbished TPC course.

My friend D.A. Weibring has had a workman like career on the PGA Tour and is continuing his winning ways on the Champions Tour.

Alterations at the par-70 layout include lengthening the first two holes as well as the 15th... Read Full Story

The Skins Game & Wetterich Rhetoric In this week's article I was going to "slam" the recent Skins Game and its all star line-up. And I was going to key in on its inclusion of Brett Wetterich. But truth is I am not really a fan of slamming. All too easy to slam. So I thought, before criticizing Wetterich's inclusion, let's find out a little more about him. I mean, someone made the decision to invite him to an affair that has 35 years of history, and in the past has featured all-star casts... Read Full Story
