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 the golf world since that day as well, and I’ve done my best to chronicle and share my thoughts on them all.
So to celebrate my five year anniversary on Front9Back9, I am giving away a $100 Gift Card to one lucky winner!

As we get closer to 2015 and move into the next five years of Front9Back9, there’s a lot to follow in golf and I’ll be right here on the couch following all the action.
- Can Tiger break Jack Nicklaus’ major championship record? (Hell, can Tiger ever win just ONE more major?)
- Will Rory McIlroy continue his major binge and catch Tiger in the next 5-7 years? (He only needs 9 more…)
- Will Phil Mickelson regain his form after a poor 2014? (Can you say Senior Tour??)
- Can freaking Sergio Garcia ever win a major?
- When will my man Jordan Spieth win his first major?
These and many more stories will play out in the near future. Many industry “experts” claim golf is falling in popularity, but from what I see on Twitter, other golf blogs, and here at Front9Back9, it’s still going strong.
For 2015, we will continue to bring you all the latest golf news and are also working to bring many more golf equipment reviews as well.
