Where would I be without Twitter? I wouldn’t know half the people I know. I met this guy on Twitter too. We were following each other for a while, and I had the chance to meet him down in Orlando at the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show. I love this guys… he is funny, always has a smile on his face, and says, “mate” all the time.

Orbital & Zola Jesus “New France” Remix EP

Featuring the mesmerizing vocal of L.A goth-soulstress Zola Jesus, New France is a brooding and atmospheric track of epic proportions. As Paul explains, “We came across Zola Jesus, who I’d never heard before but instantly fell in love with – she’s just got the perfect voice for this track. It ended up a poppy goth track, in the vein of Propaganda, which for me is a kind of Holy Grail in terms of all the music that ever really influenced me”.

Three Floyds Brewing Company: Tasting New Beers

Last week we went to Chicago. I love going to Chicago because that means we get to stop by Three Floyds on our way home. Three Floyds is one of the best breweries in the world, and some websites vote them as the best of the best. They do make Dark Lord, a beer that has an entire day dedicated to it.

Aaron Olson Golf: Excel. Develop. Learn.

Here is another professional I met on Twitter… that seems to be a trend for me lately. I have been chatting with this guy online for a while now, and finally had the chance to meet him at the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show. We met at the Brick House Tavern + Tap, started talking, and the time just flew by. We have stayed in close contact since, and I just knew I needed to learn more about him and his career. He is currently at The Raven Golf Club in Phoenix, working with Megan Padua, Jeff Ritter, and Martin Chuck. If there was such a thing as a “dream team” in golf instruction… it would be this.

It’s All About Impact: Andrew Rice Golf

He lives down in South Carolina, and teaches at the Berkley Hall Golf Club. Oh, and he went to Harvard. (He didn’t go to Harvard… but we will get to that later.) Did I mention he drinks wine? Anyway, I met this guy on Twitter and we have stayed in touch ever since. I love working with the PGA teaching professionals because they all teach folks how to play golf… but they all have their own approach. Did I forget to mention he is from South Africa?
