Tales From the Golf Course: If Icarus Played Golf
October 17, 2023 I’ve always admired the Ancient Greeks and their accomplishments. The fact that we know so much about the history of a civilization dating back to 1200 BC is staggering. As a writer, I think the longevity of their literature is especially astonishing. I have written a few…

Baseball Season Ends
July 11, 2023 When the Cardinals lost their district semifinal game last week, the Cardinals walked out of the park the same way they walked in. “Our heads were high, our chests were out,” said Coach Mohr. “They should be proud of what they did this summer.” Only a handful…

Putting in the Work
April 26, 2022 I make a lot of jokes that I don’t have a ‘real job’ anymore. That’s somewhat true, but I do put in a lot of hours. Between writing, editing, going to events, and taking care of the business side of things, I’m putting in over 40 hours…

A Lack of Practice
August 30, 2022 Playing golf with both my sons a couple weeks ago, we were getting ready to hit off the first tee at 5×80 for our back nine. A large group of people that were walking from the parking lot to the clubhouse stopped and watched us from over…

What is Too Windy?
May 23, 2023 My dad unofficially established 48 degrees as the minimum temperature that I will play golf when he mentioned many years ago that was his threshold. He never said anything about wind. At some point, overly windy conditions can ruin a game of golf and take all the…

Long Gone 7
June 6, 2023 A tragicomedy in three parts. Part I. I am mostly of German descent, but my lineage can also be traced to England and Scotland, among other places in that neck of the woods. Studying my family history, I found that most of those central and northern European…
