Golfdom Gallery: Meeting an NFL Hall of Famer, Trinity Forest team and more

1. Dan the man When Golfdom Western Regional Sales Manager Jake Goodman isn’t selling ads, he’s hanging with NFL Hall of Famer Dan Marino. Goody, when do we get to see an Isotoner ad in the magazine?

2. An inconvenient truth Interesting that every time Ed Easley (right), Arcis Golf vice president of construction, stopped to play in his group, Golfdom EIC Seth Jones complained he had a bad hole at Los Robles Greens GC, Thousand Oaks, Calif… Yet Jason Straka, ASGCA, (left) Fry/Straka Global Golf Course Design, has played 36 holes with Jones and never seen him play a good hole.

3. Riding off into the sunset (L to R) Los Robles Greens GC Superintendent Ron Kerley and Project Landscape Architect Brian Broderson celebrate the end of a successful day: the grand re-opening of a water friendlier Los Robles.

4. Hook ‘em Horns Even though Tyler Andersen, superintendent at the University of Texas Golf Club in Austin, went to the University of Florida, his German Shepherd Layla still wears the course’s colors.

5. Team Trinity Forest It was great to meet the team at Dallas’ Trinity Forest, where Kasey Kauff is the superintendent. Left to right is Sarah Jackson, Adam Deiwert, James Morgan, Kauff, Chad Kuzawa and Grant Harrison. Sorry we missed you Seth Smith, great name, though.

6. Topgolf Las Vegas A lot of research went into this month’s cover story, including a game at Topgolf Las Vegas with (L to R) Shadow Creek GC Assistant Superintendent Luke Maddox, Adrianne Jones, Seth Jones, Andrea Cloninger and Shadow Creek Superintendent Tim Cloninger.
