I have known Rick for a few years, and always look forward to seeing him at the Golf Business Network summits and the PGA Merchandise Show. Rick is also a HUGE Tiger Woods fan, so we never run out of things to talk about. Rick is also obsessed with the growth of the game, and is a U.S. Kids Golf Top 50 Teacher.

On The Fly: Tiger Woods Throws His Clubs

Tiger Woods isn’t perfect. He has never claimed to be. He is an adult and he plays a professional sport. Like Kobe plays basketball and Alex Rodriquez plays baseball, they are professional athletes that have managed to make a living playing the sport they love. Tiger has been playing golf since he was a little kid, and will play until the day he dies. That is why I love golf… you can play well into your senior years.

American Craft Beer Week Tap Attack

This week is American Craft Beer Week. It is time for you to sit down that bottle of Bud Light and craft a craft beer from one of the thousands of craft breweries around the country. There are several of them right here in the Circle City, and while I don’t personally like them all, there are some great breweries around here. One of the best places in Indy to get a good selection of craft beer is the Beer Sellar. They have a great list of beers including 100 bottles and over 50 taps that rotate as fast as they can tap them. It is one of my favorite bars in the city.

The Golf Industry: A Conversation With Ricky Potts

As many of you know, I am very passionate about golf. It is the only sport I watch on TV, and the only sport I play on a regular basis. I played in high school and in college, and have never enjoyed the game more than I do today. I am also passionate about social media and the ability to communicate and to market yourself and a business online. Because of this, I was recently asked to speak about social media and how it is impacting the golf industry. I am the one usually doing the interviews on my blog, but this time I was asked to be featured in an issue of Hotelier Indonesia. I jumped at the chance, and sat down with Bill Healey for the interview. What follows is what you will find in the latest issue of the magazine. This was a lot of fun, and I hope some folks learned something along the way. Social media is global… so is golf. This just proves it.

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Dashius Clay

Twitter is amazing. I have met so many people on there. People that don’t “get” Twitter need to create an account and try it out. I met Dashius Clay on Twitter, and was immediately impressed with his level of engagement and more importantly his music. He has a wide range of sounds from rap to electronic dance music. His work is great, and I love his videos. Oh, and his lyrics. Styles like this make me think about David Correy, a performer who has coined his genre as “urban rock”.

NFL Legend Junior Seau Found Dead

I don’t watch football, but I know the name Junior Seau. He was big when I was in high school and college, and I remember hearing his name on TV. I used to watch sports, when I was in school, but the older I get the less I care about professional sports. I watch golf, and that is about it. I also have a theory that all professional sports are rigged. Anyway, I know this is old news but Junior Seau was found dead yesterday in his California home. Further details point to suicide.
