JK,
1. It comes up on my Facebook news line, as we are FB friends.
2. We are real life friends, sharing a love of hockey and golf architecture. I took him to a New Years Eve Stars game years ago with the band Bowling for Soup and it was a memorable night. Recently, he had me on his podcast (not even sure it has aired) as both a golf course architect (part 1) and Western Conference NHL prognosticator, since he (like most sports media) only really follows the northeast teams, even though in the NHL, the west is where it's at!
3. It's a nice blog.
