Weekend Chat: Welcome!

Your Club TFE comment section for the first weekend of January

Written By

Why, hello! Fancy seeing you here.

So: every Friday, we’ll put up a short post with a pretty picture of a golf course in the header (props to whoever can identify the course and hole), a discussion prompt, maybe a membership housekeeping item or two, and a meticulously curated song, and you, the honorable members of Club TFE, can take it from there. The comment section is yours—you certainly don’t have to stick to a single topic. Argue about rotisserie chicken and the Oxford comma. Tell us where you’ve played recently or where you’re playing soon. Arrange meet-ups. Talk about whatever!

Club TFE housekeeping…

We got a few requests for scorecards/maps in the course profiles, so our resident illustrator Cameron Hurdus whipped up routing cards for Sand Hills and LACC North. Scroll down to the “hole-by-hole tour” section to see them.

And your Friday question…

Which golf course that you played in 2022 surprised you the most, whether pleasantly or not?

Also, if you haven’t yet introduced yourself, please do so below!

We are gonna make it through this year, if it kills us. Thank you for your support of The Fried Egg.

About the author

Garrett Morrison

When I was 10 or 11 years old, my dad gave me a copy of The World Atlas of Golf. That kick-started my obsession with golf architecture. I read as many books about the subject as I could find, filled a couple of sketch books with plans for imaginary golf courses, and even joined the local junior golf league for a summer so I could get a crack at Alister MacKenzie's Valley Club of Montecito. I ended up pursuing other interests in high school and college, but in my early 30s I moved to Pebble Beach to teach English at a boarding school, and I fell back in love with golf. Soon I connected with Andy Johnson, founder of Fried Egg Golf. Andy offered me a job as Managing Editor in 2019. At the time, the two of us were the only full-time employees. The company has grown tremendously since then, and today I'm thrilled to serve as the Head of Architecture Content. I work with our talented team to produce videos, podcasts, and written work about golf courses and golf architecture.
