I went through the rest of my Gary Player interview today. Great conversation. We pretty much wrapped up the water talk last Friday, but there are still quite a few gems in here. Like, the greatest golfer he's ever seen (Ben Hogan), shooting under his age for three consecutive rounds (he did it ...

So, I sat down with Gary Player, "The Black Knight," in New Orleans at Advanced Sensor Technologies' reception at the House of Blues. I had a rum and Coke, BK had a cranberry juice. I had a chance to catch Gary Player at the Masters two years ago. He was right there, under the bi...

Imagine this scene: You're in New Orleans on business. It's the first time you've been there since Hurricane Katrina. You're a little nervous on how the city is doing, but your association tells you it's all better now. Then you're walking downtown, early evening. You here a ...

No hyperbole here -- I'm about to answer the question... who is the turf industry's smartest editor? Sit down, because you may be surprised.  That person is... SETH JONES. Wait, wait. I know what you're saying. I know Seth. He may know a lot about comic books and Kansas basketball....

It's been a busy GIS. So busy that the keyboard feels alien to me right now... I've hardly had any time to type anything up. So I'm going to give you a couple thought-blasts on things I've seen and done so far in New Orleans. I had the pleasure of sitting down for about 30 minutes wi...

Don't worry, I'm not about to get serious on you. The GIS always comes along with some... interesting assignments... for me. For example, at any of the last few shows you could have seen me competing in a bubble-blowing contest, or competing at a Wii golf tournament, or chasing Greg Norman o...

When you get the press release from Lorena Ochoa's people announcing what tournaments she will be playing in. Lorena juega? "No" or "si." Yes, I'm back. After taking, what TWO WEEKS(?!?) off from the blog, I'm here again. And yes, I'm feeling... talkative. Today I...

The parking lot is getting more barren by the hour. GCSAA staffers are packing cars and readying for their trips over the hills and through the woods, to Grandma's house they go. With only hours to go until Christmas, I better get the rest of this GCM staffer Christmas list up QUICK! Shelly Howa...

More ad pages. Raises. A larger staff. Oh, you mean realistically what do we want for Christmas? Ahhh... Well I asked. And here's what I found out: Teresa Carson, GCM's science editor, is always at the top of Santa's "nice" list. So these are almost guaranteed. Here's what ...

Well, the news has spread quickly about the new Old (new Old?) Tom Morris Award winner, Col. John Morley. It's kind of exciting that the news broke right at the same time as the magazine came out with our story on Col. Morley... it's nice to have the timing down right where we can immediatel...
