Letter of Courage (Novel)
Hank Moriarty is a newly-minted Ivy League graduate and heir to the throne of his family’s conglomerate. Henry Moriarty is a Civil War captain just hoping to make it home safely after the war. Set both in the modern day and 1865, Letter of Courage tells the stories of two men linked by more than blood. As Hank and Henry march along their respective journeys, the two Moriartys reach pivotal crossroads in their lives and come face-to-face with adversaries both external and internal. In the process, they navigate love, loss, hardship, and self-discovery.
This charming backyard course in rural Minnesota is as pure as golf gets
The best golf club in America isn’t Cypress Point or Augusta National. It’s in a backyard in rural Minnesota, and it’s called Oak Meadow Golf Club. There is no membership application process at Oak Meadow, no initiation fee, annual dues, or food and beverage minimums. To book a tee time, you just need to know a guy.
Inside The Ropes: My Week Behind the Scenes of the PGA Tour
“Hey, you need to get back on the other side of the rope.” For the third time that day, a gruff security guard was attempting to eject me from my spot inside the ropes at the 3M Open. He, like the others, probably assumed some punk kid had managed to slip past a volunteer in an effort to see some players up close.

George Gankas and golf's Moneyball era
This “numbers over aesthetics” movement in golf instruction is not a fad or a trend, it’s a tsunami. Thanks to his informal, charming demeanor and his social-media savvy, Gankas is currently riding the wave the highest, and that likely will not change anytime soon.
Patience, Young Grasshopper
The PGA Tour and the golf media are desperate to reach a new, youthful audience, and they see players like Cameron Champ as potential meal tickets. But these young stars need time and space to let their games mature. If we heap too many expectations on them before they’re ready, we’re essentially killing the golden goose in pursuit of more clicks and impressions.
Sunday Brunch: The Return of Ryo Ishikawa
While the tribulations of the game have forced the one-time prodigy to bend, he has always refused to break. Younger than Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, and Rickie Fowler, Ryo Ishikawa may still have his best years ahead of him.
My Substack: Formula Wonder
This newsletter is a weekly dive into the layered world of Formula 1. Posts during race weeks will always preview the grand prix weekend ahead, but off-week posts may stray quite far from analysis of rake angles and f-ducts. While Formula Wonder is inherently centered around the 10 teams that compete against each other 20+ times a year, some of the most fascinating aspects of the sport have nothing to do with who makes it first to the checkered flag.
