Swing Thoughts: May 2021

It’s a bird…It’s a plane…no, it’s the TGJ Van doing a nine-point turn in your local course’s lot! The No. 1 mobile podcast studio/shop/snack bar in golf is back on the road. First stop is Gearhart for a three-day, four-round Member excursion along the Oregon coast. Then we’re headed due north to peg it in our next Member event at Chambers Bay. So if you see us on the side of the road Googling “How to change a tire,” we’ll trade fresh TGJ swag for a wrench.
