Broken Tee Society

The CAD speaks! Join author/screenwriter/all-around top bloke Crawford Anderson-Dillon for a conversation about "Hard Forged," his Royal Dornoch piece from TGJ No. 19. CAD discusses his modest golf internet notoriety, becoming friends with Alan and Chris from the piece, and how the vibe of St. Andrews differs wildly from that of Dornoch.

You read about them in No. 19, now hear them in their natural environment. Mike Shade and Eli Strait, the hosts of the wildly popular Chasing Scratch podcast, join TGJ Senior Editor Tom Coyne to discuss their newfound golf celebrity (and their distaste for that term). Their goal is evident - the quest for the elusive 0.0. Spurred on by a desire to escape the golfing doldrums, this years-long odyssey has brought these two longtime friends alternately closer, then further, then tantalizing closer once again to that mesmerizing number... but has immeasurably deepened their goofy and enviable friendship.

Tom Coyne is back again for his final dispatch from the ANGC media center. We chat Tiger's improbable (or perhaps inevitable?) made cut, Scheffler's feel-based game, and Augusta's under-the-radar history museum that every golf junkie needs to put on their bucket list. 

TC and (eventually) Travis are back on the Main Stage to break down a momentous Thursday at Augusta. Tom details his eyewitness account of Tiger's finish on 18, speculates about the technology inherent in Augusta's press credentials, and illuminates the closeness of the golf world after run-ins with Bamberger, Robert Trent Jones Jr., and others. Plus, Travis hops in to discuss the CAA party, and Tom offers a few scoops for upcoming TGJ pieces. 

Join Tom Coyne and TGJ Editor Travis Hill for a Wednesday dispatch from Augusta National. Tom debriefs on his interactions with Tiger and Hideki, tests the limits of a Masters press credential, and sets the scene from the dining lawn to the crowded slopes of the Par-3 course.

Fresh off her first appearance in the Augusta National Women’s Amateur, Duke sophomore Phoebe Brinker joined Tom Coyne to discuss her experience. She unveiled a host of fascinating details, including the (sensational) contents of an ANWA tee gift bag, how it feels to play Augusta with no patrons, and the story of the event's founding direct from Fred Ridley himself.  Phoebe also touched on her COVID-impacted college experience, and the selfless steps she's taking to support mental health awareness both on and off the course. Dive in! 

New York Times bestselling author. Former tenured English professor. Lifelong golf tragic, and current Senior Editor of The Golfer's Journal. Tom Coyne has lived a long life full of stories, from the caddie yards of his youth, to the swamps of Florida, to the shores of the British Isles. He joins TGJ Associate Editor Casey Bannon for a foundational discussion on the ancient art of spinning a yarn. 

A chat with the man behind the lens. TGJ’s Director of Visuals (or @hafe_life, as you might know him) fields our photography questions on everything from aperture to freelance rates, and offers an exclusive instruction session on the art, science, and magic of great photography.

Golf Channel's Shane Bacon brings that buttery Texas twang to the Broken Tee Society for a wide-ranging discussion with old pal Tom Coyne. Talking points include Shane's Bandon course ranking, a breakdown of his career arc (including a neatly circular Keith Jackson anecdote), calling Big Air at the Beijing Olympics, golf (and winter) in the Northeast, and how to fix the NBA Dunk Contest.
