There's so much going on here at Golfdom HQ, I barely know where to start!
How about with this exciting news... we have added to our staff! Golfdom has added the amazing Beth Geraci, a veteran journalist who combines excellent experience with superb enthusiasm, to our team. Beth is located at the Cleveland offices of Golfdom, and can be reached via email at Bgeraci@questex.com. Welcome Beth! (Look for more about Beth at the end of this post.)
Also, welcome to Jacobsen as the official sponsor of the Golfdom blog! We're honored to have a sponsor like Jacobsen supporting the blog. We want to keep posting regularly, and with a company like Jacobsen taking notice and lending their support, well, that makes us want to do even better work here.
Speaking of 'work here': Keep an eye on the blog as we'll be posting from Augusta National and the Masters this week. We've got meetings set up all over the place... including GCSAA's new CEO; the host superintendent of the PGA Championship; E-Z-Go; the Golf Writers meeting; and our own Anthony Williams, CGCS, MG. If you're going to be at Augusta this week and would like to meet up, drop me an email at sjones@questex.com.
The Golfdom NCAAA Bracket Challenge -- sponsored by our friends at SubAir and Rain Bird -- is about to come to a close! I know Hendren will have some things to say about it tomorrow, but yeah -- the winner of tonight's game determines the winner of the first ever Golfdom NCAA bracket challenge! And I'm pretty sure Hendren will be pulling for the Butler Bulldogs! I'll let him explain why tomorrow...
Speaking of random sports betting (but no money is changing hands here, no-sir-ee...), do you want to do a little Masters pool? I'll talk to Hendren about it tonight. We might slap something together last minute. If we only get three people involved, well, at least my odds of winning increase.
FINALLY... let me better introduce you to Beth. (I need a nickname for Beth. I've been calling her "B.G." thus far, but I need something better. Her last name is pronounced jer-AYE-cee so maybe that's where I need to focus. ...or maybe she hates nicknames all together, and if that's the case, I'll find out very soon!)
