I didn’t get the chance to see Dirty South on this tour, but I was so impressed with his performance at Electric Zoo I just had to share this with you. Dirty South also played a set at Pacha NYC. I was there and caught all of the action from the DJ booth. We had never been to Pacha, but it was one of the coolest little clubs I have ever seen. It’s old, in the middle of Hell’s Kitchen, and has one of the best sound systems around. The venue has a ton of history, and it made [...]

I’m on my way home from the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show, and I just had to write down some thoughts on my week in Orlando. For those of you unfamiliar with the PGA Show, it’s the biggest collection of golf course professionals, equipment representatives, and basically golf industry people in the world. I mean EVERYONE in the world of golf is there. I have been going to this show for four years now, and this one was the best yet. It just seems to get better year after year [...]

Katie Angel is sassy… and always classy!

I reached out to Katie Angel a few months back about Angel Burlesque, a show that is literally taking Indianapolis by storm.

Needless to say, I was impressed—so much so that I am already making plans to see another performance in February. I also asked Katie if she would sit [...]

How to Build Your Golf Swing with Chuck Evans

When I first started interviewing golf professionals, I had no idea how much fun it would be. Every time I sit down to research a pro, I learn something not only about them but about the game of golf. It’s both fun and educational for me to be researching all of these guys. The guy I am sitting with today has been around the golf industry for a long time. He is one of only 31 teachers in the world to have a Doctorate in Golf Stroke Engineering and finds himself [...]
