I was awake early one recent morning enjoying a cup of coffee in my home in Carmel, CA when my cell phone buzzed. My caddie, Cliff, had just sent me a text message. “You’re in the Songdo IBD Championship. Dan Forsman just withdrew.” I woke up my wife Marianna with the great news! Minutes later […]
“Synchronicity and Golf in the Kingdom”
“What do you want for your birthday”, came the annual question from my wife back in March of this year. “Oh, I don’t know”, came the usual response. “Oh, you’re so hard to shop for; you buy everything you need or want”, came the reply from my wife. Then she put on her thinking cap.

Perspectives on Pebble Beach: A Change in Attitude
In order to put some perspective on what happened this week at Pebble Beach, I need to start back in Montreal the previous week. So … another late Sunday tee time was mine for the final round of the 2011 Montreal Championship. After rounds of 71 and 70, I was finding myself in that all […]
