I have been fortunate to travel and play many courses as well as sample many products as a knowledgeable player, and work behind the scenes and “inside the ropes” within the golf industry. While my mission is to promote the psycho-spiritual message of “Golf’s Higher Plane,” I have often been queried about my golf experiences and am happy to share my perspectives.
Travel & Courses
If you could ask a guy who has played not only the Top 100, but the Top 200 Courses in America, five courses in every state including the top ranked ones, and more than 2,300 total, what would it be? If that person has studied and written about golf course architecture since 1967; that might be interesting too. Add to that playing the Top 40 Courses in Ireland as well as the Top 25 in New Zealand, and continually adding new experiences, you might be curious to pick their brain. Well, I don’t claim to being the “end all” authority, but I am that person and here are some opinions.

Product & Book Reviews
For more than a decade I have reviewed books and products for “Golf Today Magazine.” I could fill a warehouse with the devices I’ve tried and have read more than 3,000 golf books. Having both taught, and also played for more than forty-five years, I have experienced the good, bad, and even the absurd. Here is my take on some of the products that have come my way.
