This song never gets enough love for how fricken moving it is.

I wrote an essay for Garden & Gun about my daughter bonding over my favorite book, which turns 40 this year. gardenandgun.com/articles/fat...

Is Scottie in the midst of an unthinkable run where he's going to rack up a dozen majors over the next decade? Probably not. But we also can't close the door on the possibility either. A short essay for @friedegggolf.bsky.social to kick off Scheffler's season.

Very fun moment on this week's Shotgun Start pod when Rory appeared by surprise, then shared with us a gift his caddie Harry had given him for Christmas, a gift no one else could appreciate like he could.

For this week's @nolayingup.com narrative podcast, I wrote a love letter to my local muni (but really, munis everywhere). Neil and Randy and I also have a fun discussion about what makes a great muni in the back half of the pod. open.spotify.com/episode/1lv6...

Proud that we at @nolayingup.com were able to help bring about some positive change for Long Island and NYC golfers. Our podcast helped shine a light on this issue and exert public pressure. Hopeful this helps.

This is one of my favorite @nolayingup.com projects I've ever worked on. For a week, @ngschu.nolayingup.com and I roamed the grounds of Augusta National with mics, capturing the sounds of the Masters, trying to tell the story of the tournament, pulling together a narrative podcast in real time.

I really like this picture inside the Masters media center, one of the few pics of Greg Norman in the whole place. A subtle nod to the idea that you should speak with the press, even in the hour of your biggest disappointment.

This poster hung in every college room I ever rented. I did not know what my aesthetic was, but I wanted my ethos to be Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday, a man who talked some shit, who knew a poem or two, who was great at his job, and who was there for his friends. Yes, it was fantasy. But what cool one.

Characters aside, this does seem like a very fun cast to get drunk with. Also, how did Walton Goggins win the abs contest???

This week in our @nolayingup.com GHIN and Tonic column, I wrote about SNL 50, about winter golf, about being cringe, and about the BallKnowers' Jalen Hurts takes. nolayingup.com/blog/ghin-an...

I can't describe how great it is that one of the best players of this era looks like a hoagie might fall out of his pocket on every spin move. My king.

This is also a belief held now by one Philip Alfred Mickelson.

This week, I am going to shout out John Turturro, who remains one of the best actors in the game. What a tour de force the latest episode of Severance was. His intensity as an actor is unmatched and magical.

Latest entry in this list: My Old Ass, a film both written and directed by Megan Park. A coming-of-age comedy that actually uses that genre as a Trojan Horse to wallop you with lots of feelings. Very Canadian in the best way. Only 90 mins, which is the perfect length. Maisy Stella crushes.

BallKnowers out here in Cali meeting up with famous Knowers, about to record an in person session. Please drop your questions, takes, victory sneers, below or email me to potentially have them read on the show.

I like to recommend things that moved me in a genuine way, and if you like them too, that might mean we can be (on-line) friends. High on that list this month is Man On The Inside on Netflix, particularly Episodes 6 & 7, which are up there with Mike Schur's best work.

Not sure how I didn't see Klaus until this year, but it is the good stuff. See it if you haven't yet.

I think my favorite detail from my Hal Mumme story however many years ago is that he once called Mesh 53 consecutive times.

X is now threatening to suspect accounts just for taking a screenshot of a NY Times story to preview the story.

The older I get, the more I realize this is the perfect movie.

My oldest daughter has recently gotten into Nirvana and so last night she asked me to make her a playlist of 90s rock and I have never run faster into living the truth of an Onion story in my life.

Throwback to the last time we built up golf twitter from scratch.
