Electronic Icons Orbital Set to Release New Album Wonky

Confident, energized and eclectic, “Wonky” already sounds like the duo’s finest album to date. Gleaming, whooshing, shimmering tracks like Straight Sun and Stringy Acid instantly tap into the warm-blooded rush and restless bounce of classic Orbital. These are future festival- rocking anthems in the making, right up there with vintage live favorites Chime and Belfast. But there are nods to cutting-edge club culture on “Wonky” too – including a guest appearance [...]

Dennis Sales Golf & The New Era of Golf Coaching

I don’t even know where to begin… this guy has so many talents I don’t even know where to start. This guy is a friend first. Granted, we always end up talking about golf but that is what happens when you put two obsessed golfers in the same room. I also have to mention he lives in the smallest state in the country. It takes, oh, two hours to go from one corner to the next! But that is beside the point. This guy is a member of the Golf Business Network, which [...]

FORE: Did that go in?

The other day I was talking to BC the Man about an almost hole-in-one I had in high school. I played high school golf at Northview High School in Brazil, Indiana, and played four years varsity for coach Tony Trout. I have a LOT of great memories there… from traveling with the team to playing great golf courses all over the Midwest. Northview had a pretty competitive program, and I remember working out and practicing even when the temperature outside [...]

Dirty South Stereosonic 2011 Tour

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 [...]

Teeing Up at the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show

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 [...]
