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.

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.
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.

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!

Big news in Fried Egg Golf Events world. We added Plainfield CC as an add-on opportunity to our event at Mountain Ridge CC this summer. The add-on at Plainfield includes lunch, 18 holes of golf, and any on-course F&B you'd like as well as a $50 gift card to the pro shop. It will be on Tuesday, August 11 in the afternoon.
All participants in this add-on must be in the Mountain Ridge event itself. Hell of a two-day journey if you ask me but I'm clearly biased.
Let me know if you have any questions! Link to join in will be below.

Hey all, we're super excited to release a video project we've been working on for over two years next Monday on YouTube. The video will dive into the history of Crooked Stick over the years, it's significance to Pete and Alice Dye and the most recent restoration work. We were able to talk with several people who worked directly for the Dyes as well as the Crooked Stick Historian who spent many years with the Dye's writing a book about them.
While the most recent restoration targeted more infrastructural upgrades and revival of some lost features, the origin story is quite fascinating and one that I don't think a lot of people know about. Crooked Stick is truly one-of-one in the Pete Dye portfolio as it was the brain child of Pete and Alice. They raised the money, bought the land and built their ideal golf course for themselves and their friends in and around Indianapolis.
I'm really excited to release this video but I'm also curious peoples thoughts who have played the course before? What were your impressions? For me it took a few visits to sort of "get it". It's more subdued that most of Dye's work but there's some incredible architecture out there.
Check out the Fried Egg Golf YouTube channel on Monday and enjoy the PLAYERS this weekend

A big goal of ours in 2026 is to offer up localized meetup opportunities for our membership that don't require travel to one of our events. I'm writing to you on this beautiful Monday with one of those opportunities.
This spring, we are working with Intown Golf Club to bring together Fried Egg Golf Club members around the country. Intown offers upscale locations with simulators and great food & beverage options. You typically have to be an Intown member to access their facilities, but we are excited to off that access to you all simply for being FEGC members.
To kick off the year, we have set up four meetups in areas around the Midwest and East Coast for you to get some swings in, meet fellow FEGC members in your area, and help get the golf season kicked off in style. Those meetups will be:
If you are interested in joining, please respond here or shoot me an email! We will finalize payments in the coming weeks. We do need to have final totals for each event by 7 days out of each event so the Nashville deadline is coming up very soon. Hope you all can join in!

Picking up the thread that started here, I want to kick off a formal community lead project to map out the definitive golf architecture lineage tree.
You know how football nerds love tracing NFL head coaching trees? How everyone is a Bill Walsh guy or a Bill Parcells guy, and you can draw a line from one coach to half the league? Golf architecture has the same thing, maybe better, and we're going to build the coolest, most comprehensive version of it that exists. But I need your help.
I'll build out (I've actually already most built it out 😉) the front-end and back-end to display and manage the data. And in return I'm asking for help from the FEGC community to do the fun part: the research.
Here's what I need:
Architect bios — a sentence or two (or more if you're feeling it) on who each person was, what they're known for, and what made their work distinctive. Nothing encyclopedic, just enough to anchor readers in who the architect was.
Relationships — this is the core of the project. Things like:
Was an associate/employee of X
Was a partner of Y
Collaborated with Z
If you're interested let me know and I'll throw a meeting on the books for later this week to chat about what I'd need to make this happen and how you can contribute.
Who's in?

Our video on Andrew Green's Interlachen renovation is going to drop Monday on our YouTube channel. This one has been delayed a bit for various other projects but I think it's an interesting one. I was lucky enough to play it on opening day a couple years back and the site is spectacular. The routing does a really good job of working you on and off the high points and creating variety hole-to-hole.
This was a fairly extensive project for the club: irrigation, greens, tees, bunkers, chocolate drops, and generally trying to connect back to some of the Donald Ross roots. We don't dive too deep into the nitty gritty stuff (the club's YouTube channel actual has some great content they made throughout the project) but I think it'll be a good overview of the project and features interviews with Andrew as well as their Head of Grounds, Brian Boll. Would love to hear people's thoughts on the course, especially those that got to see it during our Minneapolis Road Trip last year!
And watch our channel for the video on Monday.

Hey FEGC, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's wine-themed hangout with Bryan Maletis. (It's at 8 p.m. ET. More info + the link here.)
Bryan and I are planning to explore some analogies between golf and wine. Specifically, we'll touch on the similarities between minimalist golf architecture and "minimal-intervention"/ "natural" winemaking, as well as the parallels between, say, Tom Fazio and Rombauer (i.e., maximal intervention, artificial luxury, waterfalls, heavy oak, things of that nature).
And to that end, I'll open two Pinot Noirs: one minimal-intervention example (probably from the Willamette Valley) and one more extracted/oaked/etc. (probably from Sonoma). I haven't picked up the bottles yet, but for the WV Pinot, I'm leaning toward Violin or Teutonic. The Sonoma bottle will be tricky because I don't just want to drink garbage (Meiomi), but I'd also rather not spend more than $30. That's a pretty narrow band of Sonoma Pinot. I might go with something from La Crema.
This experiment would be even easier with Chardonnay. If you were to compare/contrast Diatom or Cameron with Cambria Katherine's Vineyard (or really any number of Central Coast or Sonoma Chards), you'd get a nice sense of the minimal/maximal dichotomy.
What are you drinking? Do you have any other suggestions for a contrasting duo? What kinds of golf/wine analogies spring to mind for you?
Hope to see you tomorrow in the chat!
