Broken Tee Society

Broken Tee Society member Nick Schreiber stops by the Main Stage to chat about the mission and purpose behind Old Barnwell, a new private club outside of Aiken, SC that's redefining the model for country club golf. Nick covers the discovery and building of the golf course, the club's fledgling partnerships with local universities and causes, and how Old Barnwell could provide a model for the future of the game. Best of all, three OB members from our live audience joined the chat to offer their takes.

Senior Editor Tom Coyne recently sat down with 1997 Open Championship winner and Ryder Cup legend Justin Leonard to get his thoughts on how to avoid traps when setting goals, stepping out of your comfort zone, and the value of staying accountable through community engagement. 

Kyle Porter from CBS Sports joined us in late December to wrap up the 2022 year in golf and look ahead to 2023. We chatted about his second year-end book, Normal Sport 2 (available at ANormalSport.com), went deep on Rory and his place in the game, took a hard look at LIV, and prognosticated on a no-doubt compelling 2023.  

20 events. 12 months. One live recording with Tom Coyne, Casey Bannon, special guest Rob Collins, and several other TGJ team members. We dig into every event location on the 2023 schedule, culminating with a knock-your-socks-off 2023 Broken Tee 2-Man venue.

In the space of a few years, Rick Gehman turned a background building databases and a passion for golf into a career as one of the foremost fantasy and golf gambling experts out there. He now works for CBS Sports, and his RickRunGood YouTube channel is a must for any serious golf prognosticator. On the eve of the Tournament of Champions, we go deep on the nuances behind picking PGA Tour winners in a variety of formats. Rick is also a member of our 130-player One&Done league, which you can join by visiting the One&Done channel in our Discord server.

Michael Wolf has been everywhere, and played golf along the way. A golf seeker of the highest order, Michael joined Tom Coyne live on Discord to debrief on the Argentina trip that turned into Michael's La Casa del Caddie feature in TGJ No. 22. They dig into the trip, the golf, the food, and the football, as Argentina continue to advance in the 2022 World Cup. Plus, Michael relates how a kid from humble beginnings outside of Cincinnati came to find himself traveling the world in search of great golf.

BTS member and Nashville resident Jacquire King joins us on the Main Stage to dive into his decorated career in music. From local radio and small-time clubs, Jacquire worked his way up to to the pinnacle of the industry and gigs working with the likes of Tom Waits, Norah Jones, Kings of Leon and beyond. He dives into the work he's doing now in artist management and development, the music that shapes him both on and off the course, the biggest act he ever said no to and much more.

You have the book, now get the stories. Listen as Tom Coyne, Travis Hill, Brendon Thomas, and Casey Bannon dive into the making of the latest edition of TGJ, from the moonlit back roads of South Carolina to the gem-strewn heathland around London, and beyond. The team unearths the inspiration behind the jump feature, gets to the bottom of Brendon's War on Drugs fandom, and offers a few glimpses at the future of TGJ.

There are passionate people across the golf course management industry. Then there’s Jeff Wagner: general manager, superintendent, and official head of anything else that needs to be done at Boiling Springs Golf Course in Woodward, OK. Before hosting 108 Broken Tee Society members for an all-day golf bonanza back in April, the Oklahoma native hopped in the TGJ Van to chat with Assistant Editor Casey Bannon about his “buried treasure” of a golf course, and the seven years of hard labor it's taken to unearth it.

A recording of our Broken Tee Society Book Club chat, where we convened to discuss William Finnegan's Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir, Barbarian Days. The book chronicles Finnegan's lifelong, globe-spanning search for waves, and paints vivid sketches of the people and cultures that shaped him during these journeys. TGJ publisher Brendon Thomas joined the discussion and offered invaluable insight from the mind of another surfing devotee.
