Golfdom

Golfdom primarily caters to superintendents, the professionals responsible for overseeing and caring for golf courses. These superintendents are well-versed in agronomy, which involves the management of soil and turfgrass. The magazine is also read by golf course owners, architects, general managers, and golf professionals. Golfdom aims to both educate and entertain its audience by offering valuable content that provides useful insights to support their careers. After more than 50 years of publication, Golfdom ceased operations in 1981 due to Herb's declining health and shifts in the magazine industry. For 18 years, the absence of Golfdom left a noticeable gap in the golf sector.

Charlie, what can I get you? You’re going to laugh … I need a fatty Dr. Pepper. I don’t want a 12-ounce can, I want that big bottle, I call it the “fatty” Dr. Pepper. I have an addiction to it, I always have a 12-pack in the fridge. Tell me about Heritage Oaks. We’re a Bill Love design. I’ve got to talk to Mr. Love several times over the last couple years, and he said it’s one of his favorite tracks. He took a really old flood plain in a rock quarry and laid out a gorgeous 18-hole golf course.

If I could go back and do it over, I would have kept a journal on all the things I’ve seen and people I’ve met during my visits to Augusta National. My first Masters was 2003 — I was a guest of Club Car’s — and its remarkable how things just seem to happen there. One example from this year’s Masters: Golfdom editor Scott Hollister and I are walking past the practice area when he mentions Pete Wendt to me, the affable Certified Golf Course superintendent at Congressional.
