The June issue of my email newsletter is out today with a few suggestions for playing a nice but easier course in the Charlotte area. You don’t always want U.S. Open conditions or difficulty when you tee it up. So where do you play when you want a chance to shoot a good score? I have been playing a lot of private clubs lately. See which ones I really like. And when you play here in Charlotte, post a review on the site!

The July issue of my email newsletter is out today with my memories of the now closed Charlotte Golf Links. I played that course a ton and was sad to see it go in 2014, but… there’s a twist. Read to hear why I will be reminded of the course for years to come. I also talk about dreams realized (Longview, Pebble Beach). Check it out here:

The August issue of my email newsletter is out today with a report on Charlotte’s public courses with Bentgrass greens. Spoiler alert: some are not doing so well in the summer heat. Also, I make a last call for anyone who’d like to go to Whistling Straits and Erin Hills to play golf with me and TripCaddie. You’ll also get some pics and commentary on my rounds at Sawgrass and Sedgefield. Check it out here:

The November issue of my email newsletter went out today. Sign up if you haven’t already and go check out this report on winter golf in Charlotte, the new Toptracer range at The Divide, my 2-month epic golf odyssey and the latest course reviews from around Charlotte.

I also share a great way to make sure you get your clubs and rangefinder back when you lose them on the course (hint: get yourself some idSquares labels).

Hot off the presses: the December issue of my email newsletter is out today to close out 2022.

You can read about my bucket list trip to Pebble Beach – and me nearly erasing a 4-shot deficit to win the Open at Pebble on TheGrint Tour! I also share good news about a Mike Strantz course and an update on the construction that will close Birkdale for 8 months.

You can also get the details on the big events I’m hosting for TheGrint Tour at Kiawah (Feb 10-12) and Pinehurst (Mar 11-12) and a recommendation to put idSquares labels on your clubs and rangefinder.
