Guest Photographer Of The Week!

January 30, 2010/ Geoff Shackelford

I'm thrilled to be this week's guest photo choice of Rob Matre. The image in question was taken at last year's Northern Trust Open. And judging by the weather forecast, I'll be shooting a bunch more in black and white this year.

Listening Alert: Making The Turn With Kessler, 10 a.m. EST Wednesday

January 12, 2010/ Geoff Shackelford

That's 7 a.m. PST, so I should be as jovial as Tim Finchem answering drug testing questions.

Sometimes I've found the show can be heard at PGATour.com and listened to by launching their audio player. Sometimes.

"I used to make a lot of Penal courses, but a Penal course is easier to play than a Strategic course. The Strategic school is one of my favorites."

Mike McAllister made my year by profiling aspiring architect Cody Carroll, a 10-year-old who has been drawing golf courses since he was 4 and has been eyeing 8 1/2 acres for his first design, all the while using Grounds for Golf as his "second bible."

Kostis Tweets!

September 01, 2009/ Geoff Shackelford

Who knew, right? And after reviewing them, including a buddy bromance with Paul Casey and complaints about having to do four hours of a cable telecast, I think we're finally going to get to know more about the infomercial host and friend of all things Titleist.

"It looks like 'Potpourri for $100, Alex.'"

August 30, 2009/ Geoff Shackelford

That's Gary Van Sickle's line from this week's SI Roundtable, which was joined by yours truly even though I vowed not to do it again until they found an old AOL chat room to make life easier.

Uh, I think it's safe to say I won't be offered a job at CBS or Liberty National anytime soon, and my friend Peter Oosterhuis probably won't be wild about my laughing gas comment either (he is giggly these days!).
