The Seminole restoration is a great reminder of what makes golf architecture so interesting. Gil Hanse-Jim Wagner bring Ross's original vision back to life. The best restorations aren't about making a course new. They're about rediscovering what made it great. #GolfArchitecture

When people ask me why I love golf, I tell them it’s so much more than hitting a ball around a course. It’s a mental battle against yourself. A test of skill, patience, and character. A chance to spend four hours outdoors, surrounded by nature, while trying to conquer a course

someone thoughtfully designed to challenge you. One great hole can be followed by a terrible one. One great round can be followed by your worst. Golf humbles you, tests you, and keeps you coming back for more. And I think that’s the beauty of it. ⛳ #GolfTwitter

Merion getting named a U.S. Open anchor site is great news for golf. Some courses are more than just venues.They have a character and history that make championships feel different. The wicker baskets, the scale of the course, the history.Merion just feels timeless. #GolfTwitter

The more I learn about golf course architecture, the more fascinating restorations become. You're not just renovating a golf course. You're trying to understand what the original architect saw, what changed over time, and what should stay. Getting that balance right is an art.

Wife knows me well. Birthday gift: a @HudsonSutler Kennedy shoe bag. Quality/craftsmanship are fantastic. Proper leather, great details, and the kind of golf accessory that makes you feel slightly more important than you actually are. Just need the golf game to match the bag.

The Yale Golf Course discussion has caught my attention. A historic Macdonald/Raynor design, restored by Gil Hanse, but with some questions about conditioning just months after reopening. How much time should a major restoration get to fully settle in before we judge the result?
The Yale Golf Course just got a $30 million Gil Hanse restoration. Now, Yale is charging $350 for the public to play…with poor and patchy turf conditions. So, what happened? “For them to drop the ball, that doesn’t surprise me.” nytimes.com/athletic/7640599…

Medinah is about to add another chapter to its incredible history. From major championships and the 2012 Ryder Cup to this week's Presidents Cup, Course No. 3 continues to evolve while remaining one of golf's most recognizable venues. Can't wait to see it. #GolfTwitter

Big changes coming to the PGA Tour in 2028. A two-tier system with promotion and relegation is an interesting idea. I like the concept of making players earn their way into the top level. Could be a really good thing for the Tour. #GolfTwitter #PGA

Jim Nantz receiving the Donald Ross Award feels pretty fitting. For decades,he's helped golf fans appreciate not just the competition, but the courses themselves. The architecture,history, and strategy are what makes golf different. #GolfTwitter asgca.org/cbs-sports-comment…

Ohio golf keeps getting better. Denison Golf Club, a Donald Ross design from 1924, is getting an $8M restoration led by Gil Hanse. The goal is to bring back much of Ross’s original vision, including opening up the property and removing hundreds of trees. thereportingproject.org/plan…

The @PresidentsCup at Medinah is sneaking up on us. Course No. 3 has decades of history, from Tom Bendelow and Donald Ross to multiple majors and the 2012 Ryder Cup. Now, after a major transformation by Geoff Ogilvy's design team, it gets another chance to showcase itself.

Really cool news for Ohio golf. A new PGA Tour event is coming to Firestone Country Club in Akron in 2027. One of the most historic courses in the state, and a venue that has hosted some incredible golf. Love seeing Firestone back in the spotlight. #OhioGolf

Fantastic day on Pete Dye’s Heron Point. Dodged the rain, that’s all you can ask while on @SeaPinesResort
