Pennsylvania Pursues Data Center Hub Status, Converting Golf Courses. Jim McTague reports on Pennsylvania's effort to become a data center hub, citing over $90 billion committed investment statewide. York County secured $5 billion, with plans including converting Brierwood Golf Course into a data center. This effort faces public resistance fueled by fears of higher electricity and water prices. McTague notes that consumer spending in Lancaster County is "steady." The conversion of golf courses reflects the decline of golf, seen as a "dinosaur" activity that takes too much time.
Tallahassee residents are demanding city officials halt the sale of a golf course built atop the graves of enslaved people. Archaeologists confirmed 23 graves and 14 possible burial sites on the property. The city has leased the land for $1 a year since 1956, and now plans to sell it for $1.25 million — without fulfilling its promise of a memorial.

Marketing your book doesn't have to feel like a second full-time job—or a mysterious game only the loudest voices win. Some of the most successful authors aren't chasing trends or algorithms. They're building momentum by staying true to their roots and the original purpose behind the book. The truth is: marketing isn't about selling—it's about inviting. Inviting readers into a conversation and into the value your book unlocks. Whether you're marketing your first book or refreshing the launch of a well-loved one, it's not about reaching everyone—it's about reaching the right people. That's the approach I take as a book launch strategist. I help authors create marketing plans that feel authentic and effective, leveraging systems like launch teams, content strategy, and virtual events to build lasting connections and measurable results. If you'd like support mapping out your launch or relaunch, grab a complimentary 30-minute session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. Now let's dive into our author panel..

(00:02) Beauty of Golf Courses and Handicapping This chapter kicks off with a conversation about the beautiful September weather in Flagstaff and the scenic views golf courses offer, emphasizing the often-overlooked beauty of the sport's locations. We touch on the stunning golf courses across the United States and the Caribbean, including a nod to Lake Tahoe's splendor. Shifting gears, we discuss the challenges of betting on the Ryder Cup, highlighting the unpredictability of golf, especially in emotionally charged international competitions. Comparisons are made to betting on intense sports rivalries like Indiana vs. Purdue basketball or iconic football matchups such as the Iron Bowl, where unexpected outcomes make handicapping difficult. Despite the complexities, we note that NFL football tends to be more predictable.

(17:00) Defining Pitch and Chip Shots This chapter focuses on the complexities of golf terminology and how language can often lead to confusion, particularly when it comes to understanding the difference between pitching and chipping. We explore the nuances of these terms, emphasizing that a pitch is when the ball spends more time in the air than on the ground, typically requiring a higher lofted club like a sand or lob wedge. Conversely, a chip is characterized by a shorter flight and longer roll, often executed with a club like a nine iron. We also discuss how different clubs and motions can produce varied results, highlighting the importance of clear definitions in golf to prevent misunderstandings. Additionally, we touch on the common misconceptions about ball positioning during short shots and the flexibility in using various clubs for similar types of shots, illustrating how personal interpretation of terms like "chip" can impact a player's approach.

(26:15) Clearing Up Golf Language Confusion This chapter explores the nuances and confusion surrounding golf terminology, particularly focusing on the terms "chip" and "pitch." We break down the definitions of these terms based on the shot and the movement, emphasizing that a pitch typically involves a ball that flies farther in the air than it rolls, while a chip has more ground time than air time. We also discuss how these terms can be misleading when players use different clubs, and how jargon often complicates communication for beginners. By comparing golf jargon to a foreign language, we highlight the importance of clear communication in coaching. Our philosophy emphasizes using straightforward language to enhance understanding and improve performance, advocating for a teaching approach that eliminates confusion and makes golf accessible to everyone.

(38:16) Stabilizing Your Short Game Shots This chapter takes a close look at the intricacies of mastering short game shots in golf. We explore the importance of controlling the club and landing the ball accurately by maintaining a stable stance. Understanding how the length of the club and proper positioning can impact your game is emphasized, alongside the significance of achieving stability over focusing solely on swing techniques. We address common misconceptions, like always leaning towards the target, and stress that the primary goal should be getting the club under the ball effectively. The conversation highlights the importance of practicing basic stances rather than just complex shots, and how understanding what you're trying to achieve is crucial before focusing on how to achieve it. With humor and insight, we underscore the need for golfers to concentrate on the fundamentals for improved performance on the course.

We also explore the intricacies of golf, emphasizing the importance of mastering both high and low shots around the greens. By understanding the variations in chip and pitch shots, and how to effectively use different clubs for different situations, golfers can enhance their game. Whether it's executing a high, soft pitch over a bunker or opting for a low, rolling shot, flexibility and adaptability in shot selection are key. By having a range of shots and being able to choose the right one based on the course and conditions, players can improve their performance and confidence on the green.

Is it moral to pray for RFK JR. to die from a disease after refusing to get the vaccine that could have saved him? You have questions, I have answers. If sex for fun is a sin what will Heaven look like? I have an audio answer. If the internet told you you can fix your own lawn mower and you lost two fingers and a toe can you sue? If you give someone the finger in traffic before they can even beep at you have you cloaked yourself in a shield of invulnerability which precludes your being guilty of anything? Has Donald trump ruined golf? I describe the worst ever behavior I have seen on a golf course and a listener wonders why he was called a Libtard by a group playing ahead of him. And I once again extend the musical hand of friendship across our political and cultural divide with my new modern country song "Oh, Brother Why?" It could be a hit or at least work in a truck commercial. Could I have a new career as a country artist? You decide. Subscribe and THRIVE!!!!!!!!!

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
If you're an advisor who loves golf, here's the truth: the game teaches more about winning clients and building lasting trust than most people ever realize.That's exactly what I dive into with today's guest, Marisa Messana. She went from leading Clemson's women's golf team to the national championship, to competing as a professional golfer, to now coaching Fortune 100 companies, investment firms, and business owners.Through her work, Marisa helps in two ways:First, through her High Performance Training, where she equips people to perform like “corporate athletes.” This is the work that helps advisors shift from solopreneur to CEO, lead with more clarity, and create the space they need to actually grow.Second, with her Golf Experiences, she shows how to turn a round of golf into a trust-building, referral-generating opportunity. She blends fun on the course with growth-focused conversations off the course, creating the kind of experiences clients never forget.In this episode, Marisa shares how golf becomes more than a pastime, it's one of the best ways for advisors to build trust, win clients, and grow their business.4 of the biggest insights from Marisa Messana…1.) Winning On Paper, Falling Apart InsideAt Clemson, Marisa hit the pinnacle of success—leading her team to nationals and winning the Elite 90 Award. But behind the accolades, she was overwhelmed, burned out, and holding back tears. Her story exposes the danger of chasing external success without the systems and self-awareness to sustain it.2.) Self-Awareness Is What Separates Amateurs From ProsIn golf, pros track every stat after a round to find patterns and improve. Marisa realized she wasn't doing the same for her life. That's when she built her “mental gym,” a process of auditing habits, energy, and emotions. By tracking patterns and adjusting, she turned awareness into action—and that's what creates real, repeatable growth.3.) New Game, New Rules: Solopreneur to CEOMost advisors start as solopreneurs, where success depends on sheer hustle. But scaling a firm requires a different identity: leader, coach, CEO. Marisa shares how this shift mirrors her journey from athlete to business builder—and why so many advisors get stuck when they keep playing the old game by the old rules.4.) How to Host Golf Events That Drive ReferralsGolf is more than just a pastime for advisors—it's a powerful business tool. Marisa breaks down how to design unforgettable golf experiences that combine fun on the course with meaningful, growth-oriented discussions. By pairing the “golf component” (18 holes, a clinic, or even a simple range session) with a “growth component” (roundtable conversations, workshops, or keynotes), advisors can break down barriers, connect as equals, and build deep trust with prospects & clients.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/134FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWMarisa is offering a FREE 1:1 coaching call to the first 3 listeners who reach out with a specific business challenge they want to solve.Text “134” to 785-800-3235 and we'll share the details with the qualifiers.

Turning dirt to development is hard enough, but try converting a golf course into a new subdivision and the whole world loses their mind. Against all odds, the impossible became possible over a 3 year slog. As the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way.
In this episode of Turf Today, we're joined by a Decorated Veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces who has turned his experience on the battlefield into lessons for everyday life. Sean Bacon, now a mental toughness coach, provides workshops and seminars on resilience, leadership, and teamwork. We highly reccomend listening and sharing this episode as we talk about what it really means to stay calm under pressure, how to reframe setbacks as opportunities, and the role of teamwork and leadership when the stakes are high. Whether you're managing a team on the golf course, running a business, or pushing yourself in competition, this conversation is packed with practical insights on building resilience and leading through disruption. Thank you to our sponsors and loyal listeners! Outro Music- Jacob Tillberg - Broken

This week on Turf Today, Adam Courchaine and Brian Laurent sit down with Owen Singer, a 22-year-old Canadian making waves in the turf industry as one of the youngest Superintendents in the game. Owen's journey runs through the University of Guelph, countless hours on the course, and volunteer stints at the Canadian Open. All experiences that have sharpened both his skills and his perspective. Young, driven, and grounded in a strong turf background, Owen brings fresh energy and big-picture thinking to the superintendent role. Tune in for a conversation about leadership, opportunity, and the future of turf through the eyes of the next generation.

Today - Could Sierra Vista’s prized golf course be the key to keeping local home values high — or the reason they could tumble?Support the show: https://www.myheraldreview.com/site/forms/subscription_services/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It's great to be back in the comfort of the home studio and we're firing right out of the gate this week with a really interesting story about where we stayed at a golf resort in Utah. It involves Patrick Mahomes buying the course and Andy Reid building a house there. You have to hear this. We had some really sad looking Trump protesters this weekend in KC and I feel terrible for them that they can't find something better to do. Dems seem hell bent to stop Trump's tariffs that are bringing tax breaks to Americans and creating peace deals around the world. Yes, Dems, lets stop all these good things from happening so you can blame the prez. The Chiefs have one player they are focusing on more than others Friday in the season opener against the Chargers. It's game week for the first Border War since 2011. Bama, Texas and now Bill Belichick have really bad starts to the college season. And our Final Final is the Chiefs rescuing the good people of Germany from a life without Kansas City's very own creation.... Cheez-It.
Donald Trump's Oval Office rant took a darker turn this week, openly flirting with dictatorship while floating executive orders on flag burning, renaming the Department of Defense, and even eyeing a federal troop occupation of Chicago. Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman break down the disturbing signs of escalation, the “mad king” dynamic now defining Trump's behavior, and the growing pushback from leaders like Illinois Governor JB Pritzker. Plus: why authoritarianism always comes wrapped in corruption, distraction, and stolen wealth.

Bobby put out a Tweet the other day that said, 'if Arkansas makes the CFP, he will give someone random $10K'. So, he asked the guys if they think his money is safe or not. Plus, Bobby and Eddie retell the story about the time they played in a golf tournament, lied about their score, and won a trip to Puerto Rico. Eddie got linked up with a really good golfer the other day... and Bobby thinks he should've asked for his number.
