In 1994, Alan wrote his first cover story for Sports Illustrated as a 21 year-old intern, and in the ensuing quarter-century he typed two dozen more. He is the author of eight books, including best-sellers Bud, Sweat & Tees; The Swinger (with Michael Bamberger); and Phil. Shipnuck has won 13 first-place awards in the annual Golf Writers Association of America writing contest, breaking the record of Dan Jenkins, a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame. Alan lives in Carmel, Cal.
Thank you as always, gentlemen!
Re the legal case: If players should be able to play wherever they want, then players should be able to play on the LIV tour when they wish. Shouldn’t there be reciprocity or nothing?
Do people still use libraries?! I’m a member of my city’s amazing public library and pay hundreds of dollars to be a member of a private library as well. Last night I was picking up books from the former, and every seat was occupied in every room. Come on, esteemed writers — investigate!
And Ryan, I’m really glad you didn’t miss this one. Not least because I’d like to contradict your statement, “I’m not the greatest wordsmith.” Modesty and self-deprecation are positives. But you sounded 100% sincere. I read everything you write on this site. With pleasure. And think about it afterward as well.
