We have set up a fund in Jake’s memory to support Junior Golf at Shiskine & Dunaverty in Scotland. The two places that he was happiest. He loved the Isle of Arran and the Mull of Kintyre 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙 gofund.me/78de1fb85

Never gets old - the special thrill that comes with my first time seeing and holding a new book with my photo on the cover. Very proud to have supplied the photography for Essex County Country Club’s new book. ECCC is a special and historic club, and it’s an honor being a part of the book that captures their recent renovation. And thanks to Michael Wolf and Jim Sitar - this is the 4th book I’ve done with Michael and the 3rd time the three of us have collaborated.

Enjoyed discussing the new book & the writing process with two of my favorite people in golf - @kevcmoore & @consequential85. A lovely discussion
Three books. One thread. It was never about the golf courses. “The anticipation of something is almost half the fun of doing it.” — @JimHHartsell on The Bag Drop

It was such a pleasure to be back on the legendary NLU podcast to talk 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 & A Round of Scottish Courses with my good friends @TronCarterNLU & Soly. They are the best
We sat down with our friend Jim Hartsell on this week's pod to talk about his adventures in Scotland, and uncovering the hidden gems that keep him going back.

This is a wonderful discussion on all 3 of my books, and Scottish golf. Dan, @RNGC2021, is one of the more thoughtful podcast hosts I’ve met. Give his show a follow: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Rolapp has an incredible chance here, with proper maneuvering, to secure Rahm for the American Ryder Cup team

The Trail-blazers! Which courses to play in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿is a perennial question. Well, 2 of golf’s finest writers will help show you the full gamut of what’s available. Follow in the footsteps of Old Tom with Stephen Proctor or go Wandering with Jim on The Hartsell Trail in ARoSC.

A great turnout at @ShiskineGolf for the last book signing. Andy from @Covesealinks came from Moray, @WorksNational was over from Kintyre & I signed a book for 10 time Shiskine club champ Willie Kelso. Thanks to so many people for taking time to come buy the book the last 2 weeks
