Accessible Golf Around Augusta During Masters Week
No matter how famous Greyson Sigg will get in his golf career, it’s likely he’ll never be as well-known as the town where he’s from: Augusta, Ga. Sigg, who had a successful 2020 on the Korn Ferry Tour with six top-10 finishes, grew up in the town synonymous with golf, playing at Augusta Country Club […]
Two Days at The Landings Club
You’d think that after spending two days playing two different golf courses—one being host to a yearly Korn Ferry Tour event—dining at Arnie’s Tavern (named after The King himself) next to a third course, taking a trip to a riverside marina, and touring the 52,000-square-foot wellness center that I would have seen just about all […]
Must-See at the Masters
It’s (almost) the most wonderful time of the year. The wait from the end of August’s PGA Championship to the Masters in the first week of April feels interminable. Soon the golf world will converge at Augusta National, one of golf’s most cherished cathedrals. I’ve been going since 1998, and it is one of those […]

Greg Norman Returns to Renovated TPC Sugarloaf
In early October, 50-some-odd members of private club TPC Sugarloaf in Duluth, Ga., followed along a ceremonial nine-hole loop featuring a foursome of course designer Greg Norman, two national media members, and one club member whose birthday wish came early when he won a raffle to tag along. Almost unfathomably, I found myself on the […]
Reynolds Lake Oconee’s Great Waters Course Gets Renovation
As I listened to Jack Nicklaus describe the renovation of Great Waters at Reynolds Lake Oconee—a course that he originally opened in 1992 and reintroduced last week—it was hard not to think golf’s greatest champion was perhaps describing himself, as well. “Irrigation wears out, bunkers need reworking. It’s just time.” Nicklaus will turn 80 in […]

For the last 25 years—and largely under the radar—Davis Love III has been designing courses. With brother Mark, the Loves have done quite a bit of renovation work as well as creating some wonderful original layouts, among them Atlantic Dunes on Hilton Head Island, The Dunes Course at Diamante in Cabo San Lucas, and the […]
The Masters Par 3 Contest
Matt Wallace is 1-for-1 at Augusta National. The 28-year-old from England has played in one competition at the home of the Masters, and won it. Of course, Wallace didn’t win the Masters (not yet anyway) but the Par 3 Contest which precedes the main event. The debutant won in a playoff at the third extra […]
