Detroit’s popping these days. Enjoyed the holy trifecta of music on a visit this week. Jason Isbell at the Fox, Jack White’s record shop, Motown museum. All 💯 Great atmosphere downtown. 10/10

Terrific three days of golf with friends old and new @TPC_Toronto. Our stay and play package featured all three excellent courses and two nights in their brand-new swishy villas. Highly recommended.
Simple, elegant, proud indeed. My 🏴 home
Day 2 in 🏴: @nairngolfclub. Founded in 1887 and finessed along the way by Old Tom, James Braid and several others, Nairn’s firm turf and rumpled land delivers fun bounces and stunning views along the Moray Firth. It’s simple, elegant, proud and a shotmaker's paradise—everything…
This was a dream assignment for Dream Golf’s magazine. V. cool #golf project coming to East Texas. magazine.dreamgolf.com/DGStories2025/…
Love that the Women’s Amateur has “featured groups.” #respect Terrific international field including two Canadians
Our featured groups teeing off tomorrow at The Women's Amateur Championship 🏆 A thread 🪡
Today I was @WestmountGolfCC and noticed the club hosted the 1957 Canadian Open. Arnold Palmer finished 11th, won $850. Eleventh place was worth US$247,450 at last week’s @RBCCanadianOpen.
Exciting moment for the club. Good luck to all the competitors.
The final preparations for the Women's Amateur Championship at Nairn have taken place. A huge thank you to our tremendous Greens Team who have got the course in impeccable condition ahead of a huge week on the Moray Firth.
Started going to @TPCToronto 25ish years ago when it was Osprey Valley and a hidden gem with a gravel parking lot. Look at it go now. Hosting a @PGATOUR event. Well played #RBCCO @GolfCanada

Sad to see another perfectly-good, retro cool building in Toronto being torn down to make room for more concrete boxes in soulless towers. @nvtsmall

Wasn’t aware he’s the mayor of Toronto. So we want more cars downtown, and more danger for cyclists, food deliverers and pedestrians? Ok, got it.

R.I.P....mine is still alive and still sees action on the regular. Hands off...😀
#RIP to my @FootJoy roller bag, the absolute best golf swag that’s ever come my way. Wheels, handle beyond repair. 😭 It’s been around the world over the past 20 years. Irreplaceable. Literally. Thank you for your service.
Stocked up with a fresh supply of the new Pro V1s from @TitleistCA for 2025. Are you taking the over or under on whether two boxes is enough for the season? 😂
These came home with me from a recent Florida trip.10/10 tees. Can’t be a great club without great tees.
I’m not much of a collector of anything but I’ve made an exception for @GolfersJournal. The best and sexiest read in golf. Have every edition, including the 30th that just arrived. (Shoutout to @catalogue18mag as well.)
Love the direction @SCOREGolf has gone with its new Annual. Superb storytelling, photography, design. Premium stuff. Get one.
