(Featured Image by Josh Hanson) There are only two parts of a golf course every player is destined to put their spikes—the tee box and the green. However, as golf course designer Gary Brawley puts it, “You can have marginal tees and fairways, but if you have great greens, people will continue to come back to play that course.” One of the most time-consuming and expensive (on average 30% of a maintenance budget) parts of the course to maintain—and for good reason—greens are the focus of not only the designer and maintenance team, but of every golfer as well. Upon visiting Brawley at one of o ..read more

(Featured Image by Stephen Denton) It's a wonder how a cup can runneth over in a vacant space. Part play, part art, part civic statement—members of the Terreno Baldío Country Club have been making use of Phoenix’s vacant spaces with a guileless, deconstructed and root form of desert golf that echoes the game’s primitive beginnings.

As golfers, many of us may not understand the scope of their contributions but we can certainly feel it as we gaze out over 100 or more acres of a b ..read more

Teen caddies are trending in Arizona—at last. Thirteen-year-old Gianni Fuentes stood at rapt attention as he listened to the directive. He didn’t appear to be distracted by the staccato “hoot-hoot” hooting of an owl in a nearby eucalyptus tree, nor by the ominous storm clouds rolling in, bringing an otherworldly illumination to the brick-red Papago Buttes. "Be engaged," boomed the adult voice. "Put yourself right where you need to be." Gianni nodded. This wasn’t a junior varsity football practice, however. Gianni and seven other teenage boys, aged 13 through 16, were gathered at the third h ..read more
