TripCaddie

I am the IT and Social Media Marketing lead for TripCaddie – the buddy golf trip experts. You’ll see me on their Instagram leading Ready-Made Golf Trips and Golf Trip Scouting Missions to the top bucket list golf resort destinations in the U.S. and abroad.

TheGrint Tour

TheGrint Tour is a PGA-style amateur golf tour in 18 cities across North America. Players of all skill levels can compete in local tournaments against other amateur golfers for cash prizes, skins and the season-long points race trophy. The North Carolina Tour is run by Michael Hawkins and hosts over a dozen events within an hour or two of Charlotte. I’ve been playing on the tour since 2021.

Homestretch Golf

I’ve been working with Homestretch Golf since 2020, promoting their paperless pre-round pari-mutuels and wagering software for clubs and tournaments. If you are a club pro or a tournament organizer, check out their solution for running Win-Place-Show type competitions where participants can easily make wagers and see LIVE odds on their phone.

The BAG Tour

The Below Average Golf Association brings players that like competitive matches together with golf brands and sponsors who want to get their names and products more exposure. I connected with this group a few years ago and love the concept. Andy Keene has grown it since then and now runs regular events a couple of times a month. Buca Belts has sponsored me on this tour and I now own almost 20 of their belts!

Leatherman Golf Learning Center

A great place to practice all parts of your game. They have dozens of artificial tee mats as well as a traditional grass tee area. The soft mats feel like solid turf, don’t mark up your clubs and they accommodate regular golf tees. There’s also a great chipping green with a sand bunker. Buckets start at $6 for 45 balls and they offer memberships, lessons and group outings. Inside the well-stocked pro shop, you can also get a few cold ones to drink while you practice. And if you sign up on their web site, you can get an email discount for a free small bucket right off the bat.

The First Tee of Greater Charlotte

This local chapter of the First Tee non-profit organization has as its mission: To impact the lives of young people by providing learning facilities and educational programs that promote character development and life-enhancing values through the game of golf. The programs are specifically targeted at youth aged 9-18 years old. Revolution Park now provides host facilities for the program.

Carolinas Golf Association

*The* association for amateur golfers in NC and SC. Regularly hosts large tournament events in different formats for amateurs at all levels at courses throughout the Carolinas, including season-ending championships on Tour-quality venues such as Pinehurst resort.

The Effortless Golf Center

Formerly The Golf Depot — another great practice facility similar to Leatherman’s. I haven’t tried this one yet, but the website offers lessons from a 25 year teaching professional named Bruce Parker.

Metrolina Golf Magazine

This local source for Carolinas region golf information has been published monthly for over 20 years. Good coverage of local amateur tours and pros.

Carolina Golf Journal

This is another great local golf publication covering the amateur tours, local pros’ golf tips, equipment reviews, and a comprehensive schedule of local charity tournaments.
