In early April, I stood on the putting green pretending to fine-tune my stroke — but inside, my heart was pounding.
My first swing on The Old Course at St. Andrews was just minutes away.
The weather was perfect. The vibes were high. Golfers from all over the world gathered, buzzing with excitement to play the world’s most famous course in reverse. (Thank you, Jonathan, for bringing me along after getting selected in The Old Course Reversed ballot!)
As someone who loves golf logos, I’m always on the lookout for the badges of honor people show off when they tee it up.
I didn’t expect to see the Rodeo Dunes logo on a hat and pullover that day — especially knowing that the newest Dream Golf destination in Roggen, Colorado, is still under construction.
That moment sparked a conversation with Tom Ferrell, the VP of Media & Communication of Dream Golf, where we talked about Rodeo Dunes, Dream Golf, BestBall, and our upcoming rounds at St. Andrews. Before long, Tom was called to the first tee, but our connection didn’t end there.
Since that chance meeting, Tom has joined us on The Hole Story Podcast to share his own golf story.
Even better, he invited us to the Media Preview Play for The Commons at Sand Valley Golf Resort — another incredible Dream Golf project (more on The Commons & the Sand Valley experience later).
Golf is people.
The relationships built through this sport are unmatched, and Tom Ferrell is one of the best. I’m honored to now call him a friend.
It truly was a Dream meeting, and I’m grateful for it.
