If you have the patience to suffer through a brief technically-flawed introduction, you’ll be rewarded with an insightful and often humorous interview with sports writing legend Bill Pennington, who provides highlights and stories from his award-winning career. Even MGWA members who know Bill will learn something about his early years, his long tenure at the New York Times, and the backstory on two of his books, covering Billy Martin and the New York Yankees. Pour yourself a cup of coffee or a single malt, and enjoy an hour listening to the MGWA’s 2025 Lincoln Werden Award recipient, who will explain why he looks at the cup, rather than the ball, when he putts.

Golf course architect Jaeger Kovich joins the Met Golf Writers Podcast to discuss his work with Tom Doak, Gil Hanse, and the spectacular restoration at Knickerbocker Country Club, which recently hosted a MGWA outing. Enjoy!

Brian Mackey, who is the Director of Instruction at North Jersey CC, joined the program to discuss his 100 day marathon. Brian and some of PGA colleagues have been doing this annually in an effort to raise money for our nation's veterans. They have raised well over $100,000 for organizations such as Folds of Honor and Backpacks for Life. Moving forward, they will be operating under "Golf Fore Veterans."
