Places Every Golfer Should Visit

Golf is quite possibly the greatest sport on earth. There is so much tradition to the game, and so much history. It is one of the only sports where you never have the same shot twice. You could hit ten balls from the exact same location, and never see the same shot twice. You have to deal with the line you get, the wind blowing all around you, the bounce the ball gets. There is just so much to think about when hitting a golf shot. But as a golfer, matched with all the tradition [...]

18 Holes with Donny Fisher from Forest Dunes Golf Club

This year, I had the chance to travel north and play some golf. And when I say north, I mean way north. Over six hours north to be exact. I headed from Indianapolis all the way up to Roscommon, Michigan. Sheryl and I were spending the weekend at Forest Dunes Golf Club. I would play a couple rounds of golf, relax a bit, get in some reading, and just relax the weekend away. While there I had the chance to play with the head professional, Donny Fisher. I had met him [...]

The World Through Different Eyes

Since I saw them live a few weeks ago, I haven’t been able to put their CD down. The disc it titled The World Through Different Eyes, and it is filled with incredible tracks.

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Wesley Clay

If you have not figured it out by now, I love dance music. It seems that dance music is all that fills my headphones. It feels good to turn on a jam from David Guetta or Armin van Buuren and just let the music take over. It is common to think that good dance music doesn’t exist here in the states. Europe is known for producing some of the best DJs on the planet and every club on any given night is filled with people dancing. Glow sticks in hand, I have danced [...]

Little Known Facts About the King of Pop

He might be one of the greatest performers who ever lived. He could sing, he could dance, and he entertained the world with every video he released and every concert he performed. He was known all over the world as the King of Pop, and his death was extremely unexpected. He died too young, and was just in the midst of a comeback. I never had the chance to see him perform live, and that is something I will regret for the rest of my life. The man [...]
