Let’s hear it, the first one that pops into your head. One sentence only. I’ll start…

Recency bias, but I think it’s #5 New South Wales for me.

Folks,

Today's launch of our Essex Event and New England Road Trip is the final big road trip we have previously announced for 2026 Events. I say "previously" because I have one more trick up my sleeve for this year.

If you're interested, check to see if the third week in September is open on your calendars.

Stay tuned for more.

The ultimate catnip for female golf fans and pop culture fringe fans is Masters outfits. I need to know if this is a thing for guys as well. Do you think about what you're wearing to ANGC? Is it a logo thing?

This series was below my radar until looking for the Palmetto write up and WOW this is sick, sicko level stuff. Awesome dives into the holes and some excellent photography (no surprises). Can't wait to read through everything.

Thank you Garrett, Cameron, and Matt and anyone else on the FEG team!

Hi everyone, i am heading down to Savannah area for work this week and looking to get a round of golf in on the afternoon.

Looking for any recommendations on where to play?

Thanks!

During a recent round with an old college pal, we played a match with the stakes being the loser had to purchase their own Greg Norman straw cowboy hat in a color of their choosing.

We set the strokes up to have the absolute most competitive match possible and if not for a stroke of luck and an ill timed fiasco, it would have gone all 18.

Anyways, I squeaked out a W and my buddy ordered his hat and surprised me this evening with a picture wearing his prize/punishment.

Should this be a thing? Should friend groups in 2026 punish poor play with a shark show each weekend?

Hark,

Details on the 2026 FEGC Member-Guest are finally here

Big news for golf in the Southeast. Broomsedge immediately jumps near the top of accessible golf in the Southeast.

It won't be cheap but I think this is an awesome golf course and for some reason never got the pub it deserved when it opened.

I'm currently planning a golf trip up to the Arcadia Bluffs/Beulah Michigan area for 12-16 players in late June. Most guys will be travelling from the Chicago area to Michigan. I am looking for any course recommendations for our Thursday round on the way up to the area or in the area itself. Here is the trip itinerary so far:

Thursday PM - No course yet

Friday AM - Pinecroft

Friday PM - Champion Hill

Saturday AM - Arcadia Bluffs - South

Saturday PM - Arcadia Bluffs - Bluffs

Sunday AM - Wolf River Golf Park

Great to hear the team is coming to St Andrews for a live show. I’m very disappointed that I won’t be around that week to see it. I assume you’re playing the reverse Old Course as well, are you?

Just wanted to say I've really been enjoying the regular pods recently. The differing opinions but proper discussion and understanding between KVV and Joseph has been refreshing. Who knew some civility still existed between generations 😁. We can get a bit echo chamber quick agreement opinions sometimes so its been nice to hear different thoughts. The Scottie discourse was great(my aged self was on KVVs side. Easy to get distracted and a little quick tempered during your wifes final trimester with a little already around). I think he'll bounce back.

Ladies and gents,

We have a new FEGC member opportunity that I'm excited to unveil: FEGC Member Day at Brambles. On April 30, we're sending up to 24 FEGC members north of the Napa Valley for a day of the high life. You'll be a member for a day with the opportunity to play up to 36 holes and have all F&B covered for your experience.

Date: Thursday, April 30, 2026

Cost: $575/player + caddies

You can find full details in the Informational Page I just posted and in the FEGC Member Locker Room

I was thinking about how many of my favorite and usually the most talked about or highly regarded par 3 holes are typically short and precise or long and heroic. Think Cypress 15/16, Merion 13th, Royal Troon "Postage Stamp" 8th, Pebble Beach 7th, Oakmont 8th, Sawgrass 17th, Portrush 16th, Pac Dunes 11th, LACC North 11/15, etc.

I'm not sure exactly what the cut-off yardage should be for a "short" and "long" par three but generally think it's <150 yards and >210 yards.

This leaves Augusta's 12th, "Golden Bell" as the front runner for best mid length par-3s in the world as well as the Old Course's 11th "Eden".

What are some of the other most notable mid length par-3s in golf?

Excited to drop short but fun video on later YouTube today. It's probably my favorite hole on the course and a good example, I think, of Geoff Ogilvy's 'Cycle Hole' that he likes to talk about -- the idea that your strategy gets more and more aggressive until you make a mistake and the cycle starts over. Anyone who's hit it left here knows what I'm talking about. Also, we've got Gil Hanse talking about it which is fun.

Interested to hear other people's thoughts on this hole, or maybe other holes they love at Soule Park. And, of course, there are still a few spots available at our Spring Festival on April 25th!
