GolfBlogger’s 21st Blog

If this blog is human, it would now be big enough to buy bourbon.

In some ways, GolfBlogger reached a milestone, which is appropriate, as I also reached a milestone when I retired from my day-to-day teaching school this June. It gave me a while to do a lot of things I wanted to do for a long time – golf and other things – but never get used to my school schedule.

One of them is spending a month playing golf in northern Michigan in the fall. The task is completed.

Another was attending a PGA show in Orlando in January. You can read my trip to the PGA Show on the link.

I will be attending role-playing and miniature game conferences while writing this article. Wisconsin is on my To-Do list in Lake Geneva. To commemorate his hometown of Lake Geneva, and to honor Gary Gygax, the creator of Gary Gygax (yes, I know a lot of controversy). I’ve been a “gaming freak” since the mid-1970s.

In April, I will head to the Masters, attend the Golf Writers Association meeting and watch Wednesday’s practice session.

After that, there are long lists for golf and other aspects, but when they arrive, I get these things.

GolfBlogger was originally my way out for forced writing. My work life started with public policy news/public relations in Washington, D.C. and after my career changes to teaching, I realized that I missed the subject of writing every day. The blog was still in its infancy in 2004, so I thought I would give it a try. Basic advice for writers is always about writing down what you know and like, so it’s either public policy or golf.

Apparently, golf won.

Actually, I didn’t expect anyone to actually read the blog. But, to my surprise, I have a large number of steady visitors. I thank everyone who stopped to see what I was going to say.

However, the number of visitors is not a measure of the blog. Golfblogger has always been a labor of love, and the friendships and opportunities it brings me are immeasurable. I’m lucky to have so many Golf friends Through the blog such as Tony and Alisanne Korologos, John Duval, Tom Lang, Kevin Frisch, Ken Griffin, Greg Johnson, Phyllis Barone, Bill Hobson, Dave Donelson, Vaughn Halyard, Dave Hill, Jimmy Dee Dowsett, Zach Szawara, Alec Grant, Brian Weiss, Neal Kotlarek, Bill Cuebas, Shane Sharp, Chakib Ghadouani, Carter Sherline, Art McCafferty, Carl Mickelson, Chris King and more. In my own way, everyone makes my life better.

In addition to going to various places to add my “golf course” collection, I spent most of my golf time last year at Washtenaw Golf Club, a 120-year-old club that I was totally in love. Owners and staff – Dave and Karen Kendall, Zach Szawara, Matt Kopony, Tim Czerniawski, Donna Hatch, Mark Pappas and more were all very welcoming and staying.

In 2024, I managed to expand at least once a year in Michigan. In March 2024, I was playing in Michigan for 121 consecutive months.

Pure quantity cannot measure quality, but over the past 12 months, I have published 621 articles, including 25 new course reviews, bringing the total to 326.

Other articles include dozens of reviews about golf-related products (golf clubs, balls, gadgets, clothing, shoes, etc.). Most of the rest of the posts are my own golf experiences, papers, comments, photos, random thoughts and news that interest me.

Indeed, the entire website is about what interests I – I think it may generate clicks and visitors.

My writing production will certainly make an hour of internet sites click on Baity content with the writers team. However, GolfBlogger is a single-person part-time publication.

It’s all about the process, which is fun and personal. I have no intention of stopping at any time.

Thank you all for continuing to read the blog and everyone who encouraged and supported me over the years. I plan to keep writing about golf until I can no longer play, which is at least decades to come.
