The fabric that brings it all together is Culture revolving around movies, TV, books, and politics. They do, we write.
The Shelf
Even back when the world was open, I didn't typically find myself in stadiums very often. I even less often purchase anything while I am there because I don’t typically want to spend $5.25 on a bottle of water. However, last year I went to the new Little Caesars Arena in Detroit for a concert and forgot to bring an empty water bottle to fill. So, tail between my legs, I went up to purchase a new bottle of water. I begrudgingly handed over my card to purchase the bottle of liquid gold. As she placed the bottle on the counter I watched in surprise as she began to unscrew the cap from the top, throw it away and then hand me the exposed bottle. In my head I thought, "What the heck am I supposed to do with this? I gave you how much money and you can’t even give me my cap?" But I just said “thank you” and went back to join my group. Of course, a group of six ladies is going to need to use the bathroom before heading to our seats and I started to realize my error of getting this drink before going to the bathroom. I began to strategize a plan of what to do with this exposed bottle in my hand. As I stood in line, I thought, "Should I put it on the floor? Maybe on the back of the toilet or on top of the toilet paper rack?" I was still debating what option was best as I walked into the first available stall.

Staying Focus and Continuing to Grow While in Quarantine
The Cold Truth We are living in trying and difficult times right now, but that does not mean we as an officiating community can relax and stop our growth. Now more than ever we need to dig in and be prepared for when sports do come back. Why might you ask? Because when games do start playing the expectations around them will be higher than ever before.

Does Coronavirus Mean the End of Sports as We Know Them?
For decades, sports were a constant, part of the background noise of American culture, and maybe an unhealthy obsession. Games were always on. Radio always filled with banter. Twitter fights were had. (And enjoyed by many). There were office pools, side bets and serious gambling. Sports gave us something to talk about when the conversation slowed, something to watch when there was nothing else to do.

Getting Started With Golf
If you like playing videogames, then chances are that you’ve played a good couple of golf games in your life. These golf games can be based on reality or have some elements of fantasy to it. There are games out there where they have golf balls that can fly off a great distance or golf courses that look something out of a fantasy movie. Golf in videogames is always fun and with motion sensor technology, people can emulate playing golf at home with the use of their consoles. They can swing their arms and score for that hole in one. Videogame golf is fun but what if you wanted to start getting into the world of golf.

My Mom The Winter Warrior
On a frigid January afternoon in northern Wisconsin, my 64 year old mom was out cross-country skiing on one of the toughest trails in the world. She was preparing for the 50 kilometer American Birkebeiner when she hit a patch of ice, slipped, fell, and blew out her ACL.

Brofessional Begins
I'm willing to bet you're asking yourself : "Who the hell are you and what's a Brofessional?" To that I'll answer: My name is Justin and I've been exchanging my labour for golf privileges for the past 5 years. Yeah I only make minimum wage, but I also get amazing access to facilities and expertise for the price of.. on the house. Which is where the term Brofessional comes from; an occupation which may not explicitly pay the best, but instead offers implicit returns like: having access to expertise, free course & range access, discounted equipment to name a few, but more importantly it offers me an outlet for comedic expression and avenues to pursue content creation as a serious career. So that's my mission: to take full advantage of the opportunity of working at a golf course so I can become a better golfer, flex my creative muscles and meet a lot of interesting characters along the way.

How Much Better Are PGA Tour Golfers than Average Golfers?

Gender Equality in Sports
Today I am honoured to be your team captain, more honoured to lead you this season. There is another honour to be bestowed upon you, that is the answer that comes with a question. Who am I? I am a champion! I need you to remember that all throughout the game. Join me as I share my vision for a society where there is gender equality. I’d like to invite everyone. Men included, to help re-contextualise the current inequitable roles which, men and women have in western society. Powerful men and women are the catalysts which will rapidly help transform and modify our perspective to win the grand finale. Gender equality is not just about economic empowerment or making women more powerful than men. It is a moral imperative. It is about fairness and equality in terms of respect towards women and building a society free from the weight of gender social constructs. Gender equality is about normalising and recognising women in power positions.
