My iHeartRadio show for Golf News Net proceeds apace. This is our Open Championship show with John Hopkins of Global Golf Post and formerly the chief golf correspondent for the London Times. We also talked with Doug Fish, founder of Indy Pass about all the latest resort signings and plans for the ski and snowboarding season. You can stream the show here. And look for...
The Jay’s Plays Radio Show is coming to iHeartMedia, along with all the other stars of the Golf News Net Galaxy. Ryan Ballengee inked a deal just this week, and we all got swept in together. Ryan wrote: “Golf News Net is proud to announce it has signed a multi-year partnership with iHeartMedia to launch and produce Golf News Net (GNN) Radio, a 24/7/365...
It was either going to be the Green Jacket or a straightjacket; there was no middle road for Hideki Matsuyama. Japan’s newly-minted greatest golfer ever won the 2021 Masters, but only after nearly squandering a 6-shot lead and hanging on narrowly after late charges by Xander Schauffle and Will Zalatoris fizzled. Matsuyama’s 10-under score edged major...
Ryan Ballangee did a terrific job getting my Stratton Mountain article ready for pub over at GolfTripX, the travel wing of GolfNewsNet. The link is here. We’ll have one more in that series soon: Mount Sunapee and Lake Sunapee Country Club and – WOW! – did we ever hit the jackpot. After that, starting Tuesday August 4, we’ll be coming at you...

Links to the rest are below— STRATTON MOUNTAIN, WINDHAM COUNTY, VT – You should have heard the trash talking that went on about Stratton Mountain in the two years...
Thanks to my gang over at Golf News Net for running my latest piece. We took a look at the most interesting courses we’ll see this year form the USGA, PGA of America, and the PGA Tour. It’s going to be a busy golf season here, and it’s almost time to gear up. We’ll be covering the Masters, PGA, U.S. Open, and Ryder Cup this year. But before...
Great job by Ryan, Darin, Mitch, and the rest of the gang over at GNN and GolfTripX on my New Hampshire adventures in the White Mountains. Omni Mount Washington was one of the more fun and low impact rounds of the year. Best of all you can get it at the right price and spend some time running/climbing/hiking in one of the most gorgeous mountain ranges east of the...
Golf News Net and GolfTripX are hosting a reader and fan fun trip to…drum roll please…Tennessee! (Ain’t no place I’d rather be/Baby, won’t you carry me…). Ryan Ballengee and the GolfTripX guys found this 9-holer designed by the King-Collins firm called Sweetens Cove that has fantastic movement in the earth, terrific green contours...
[Editor’s Note: We’ll be filing two game stories this week, one during the first three days of play and our usual tournament recap for Sunday night. You can follow all the action at Golf News Net and here.] The Masters is the greatest sporting event of the year: period, full stop, end of sentence, end of paragraph. Not the Super Bowl, not the World...
It’s a two-fer today: two new articles at two different magazines. First, we are still in mourning for the loss of Dan Jenkins, greatest sports writer ever. GNN ran my article from when Dan was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame here. Hug your friends and mentors extra tight tonight, because it’s too late when their gone. Next, Golf Course Trades...
Once again, a big thank you to Golf Course Trades for running my Robert Trent Jones, Jr. interview. The link is here. We talked about his new courses in Argentina, Mexico, and North Dakota. From the article: “RTJ: Actually I’m opening a course perhaps as close to Antarctica as I’ve ever been. My latest design is in Argentina. It’s called...
Golf News Net has opened a completely new section called GolfTripX, short for Golf Trip Experts. It’s a place where all of the site’s travel, design, and architecture discussion will be located. Darin Bunch and Mitch Laurence came up with the idea, and Ryan jumped on board and launched the site last week. So much of my travel work will appear there, while...
We had Tom Doak and Ran Morrissett on the Jay’s Plays Radio Show on the Golf News Net Radio Network talking about Volume 5 of the Confidential Guide to Golf Courses. This Volume is Asia and Australia/New Zealand. Then we also had Mike Chait and Hugh Johnson from Smugglers’ Notch on to give us the latest on the phenomenal snow the Northeast has finally...
