Happy Anniversary to me! It was November 30, 2009, just a couple days after some guy named Tiger ran into a tree with his Escalade, that Front9Back9 was born! The biggest scandal in golf history was just getting started and we would soon find out Tiger Woods had a different lady in every city across the world, all while the wife and kids were at home. (Okay, that's an exaggeration. I don't want Tiger to write about me on The Players Tribune.) There's been many other things happen in … [Read more...]

Range To Go is a Portable Driving Range I Can Get Used To

You see, the Range to Go is a pretty cool portable driving range that has three different … [Read more...]

I spend most of my time on the golf course riding in a golf cart. Whether I'm driving the golf cart and keeping score for the group or riding shotgun while someone else drives, I always keep my own personal scorecard to track stats throughout the round. Things like number of putts, fairways hit and GIR’s are important to me so I can figure out my golf improvement opportunities.

Sunfish Sales Impresses With High Quality Wool Headcovers
For about three years now, I’ve been rolling with an Oscar the Grouch headcover for my driver. Yes, that’s right; Oscar the Grouch. It’s an inside joke between my wife and I, but she bought it for me a few years ago and I’ve been using it ever since. (You can make fun of me now. It’s okay.) For the last few months though, I’ve been looking at adding a little class to my golf bag and incorporating a set of knitted headcovers to swap out Oscar, along with the stock Ping i15 3-wood and hybrid … [Read more...]
