Title: Serendipity and Jaeger Kovich: A New Interview
Post by: Ronald Montesano on March 10, 2016, 08:27:52 AM

It's interesting that golf's most beloved man and golf's least, had the idea to interview Jaeger Kovich at the nearly the same time. I hope that what you read (should you opt to click the link) will complement the interview piece found on GCA. I can attest that Jaeger was A) a thorough answerer of questions and B) A solid fellow to communicate with about the types of questions to ask. As something of an homage to holes and courses with multiple options, we included an Alternate Routing question in our piece.

Posts and threads by folks in-the-business such as Jaeger are always well worth reading so nice to read some more background. Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words. It means a lot, and is very encouraging... Better get some rest now as I've got another day playing in the big sand box here in Florida bright and early tomorrow!

Thanks, Bob. Any interviewer's biggest fear is this: http://golfclubatlas.com/feature-interview/buddy-marucci-august-2009/


Jaeger and nearly everyone else I've spoken with has given great amounts of material, to the benefit of readers.

David,


Thank you for the encouragement. The nine-question format works well, as it is not excessive for the subject. The inclusion of the open, final question is helpful, as it allows the subject to conclude the bit with her/his thoughts.

Thomas,


That's one of the things I've learned best from the moderators of this site: if you get to the essential subject, you win. People in the business have been wonderfully accessible and I and readers are the beneficiaries of this largesse.
