Our 100th Club TFE Course Profile posted yesterday! Dive into Garrett’s Pacific Dunes profile this weekend, a course refers to as the best public golf course in America.

I sent an email out yesterday discussing two very exciting Fried Egg Golf Events we’re launching in the coming weeks. Dive into the details. I hope you can join in on the fun!

Your Weekly Question(s)

How do you feel about Pete Dye and his designs?

The legendary architect’s influence on golf course architecture is undeniable, and yet he is often a lightning rod when it comes to feelings about his work. What about Dye’s designs do you enjoy? What frustrates you? And what are some of your favorites Dye designs that you’ve played?

My Spotify Daylist title today is “Mountain Wanderlust Morning,” not sure what to make of that. Anyway, here’s a song I liked.

About the author

Will Knights

Golf was a big part of my upbringing as I grew up with a PGA Professional as a dad. I went to the course with him in the morning, helped out in the pro shop, caddied, and ultimately played golf in college before helping out in the early days of Fried Egg. While I’ve been involved in many different aspects of our organization over the years, today you’ll largely find me at our events and helping our membership as our Community Manager. And while I love this position, my dream job will always be starting shortstop for the Chicago Cubs.
