I’ve never taken so many photos of a golf course on TV. Cypress Point in California for the @WalkerCup is off the charts 😍

This is a holy day for those who observe: new Bamberger book has dropped, “The Playing Lesson.” For @Skratch I did a lively Q & A with the dean of the golf beat. We talk writing, reporting and why golf has such a hold on him.

For all of Rory's talents, his defining trait is now his grittiness. I explored this for @Skratch with thoughts from McIlroy's sports psychologist Bob Rotella, his putting coach @BradFaxon, @chambleebrandel...and Ben Hogan.

An immersive sonic introduction to @TheMasters and an audio documentary that captures Rory’s grand slam victory - transports you to the heart of Augusta National and traces the highs and lows of Rory’s historic final round. Unmissable podcasting from @NoLayingUp 🎧⛳️🌺
This is one of my favorite @NoLayingUp projects I've ever worked on. For a week, @ngschuNLU and I roamed the grounds of Augusta National with mics, capturing the sounds of the Masters, trying to tell the story of the tournament, pulling together a narrative podcast in real time.
