Open Championship week begins imminently, so don’t put those strawberries and cream away. It’ll be early morning golf on the shores of Royal Liverpool, where some of the greatest names in golf were crowned de facto World Champion. Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, Peter Thomson, Roberto DiVicenzo, Tiger Woods, and Rory McIlroy all hoisted the Claret Jug at...

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.

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.

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...
