Citizens of the Game

Every once in a while you meet someone who quite literally changes your life. In my life, one of those people was Bill Tindall, the incredible coach and mentor who brought me to the University of Washington in 1990, not just because he saw a 17 year old with a glimmer of talent and a dream of playing golf at the next level, but because he saw a young man he could help shape and develop for the future ...

Ben Garner, the man, the myth, the legend. We call him ‘BGarnes’ or 'Gentle Ben', although our kids call him 'Uncle Ben’. He’s our go to guy in Hawaii, our first call to play a round of golf with, hell, he’s the only plus-handicap that I know who plays righty and putts lefty, and he’s still the most down to earth guy on the range or in the water. We were beyond excited to see him and a bit of his life story featured in Golfers Journal - Issue 17, as his story is modern day greek mythology, and best of all, it’s all true.

He’s our original Citizen of the Game, a founding member of team RADMOR, and arguably the best junior golfer (not named Tiger Woods) in Southern California (circa 1994). Here's a short excerpt from the Golfer's Journal article by Charlie Warzel.

Noah was one of the first players we had the pleasure of meeting after launching RADMOR in January 2020.

Don't let that smile fool you ...

In the summer of 1995, the historic Newport Country Club in Rhode Island hosted the 95th U.S. Amateur Championship, commemorating a century since it first welcomed the tournament in 1895. The event drew a diverse field of competitors, from rising young talents to seasoned amateurs, all vying for one of golf’s most prestigious titles.

Among them was a 19-year-old Tiger Woods, a Stanford University sophomore already making waves in the golfing world. Woods arrived at Newport intent on defending his U.S. Amateur title, a feat that would place him in the company of legends like Bobby Jones. His path to the championship match was defined by resilience and precision, setting the stage for a final showdown that would be remembered for years to come ...

It's not everyday you talk about golf photography helping define the sport for a new generation. I'm not even sure 'golf photography' was thing before Christian Hafer, the Golfers Journal, and @hafe_life helped transform almost everything we know and love about golf in the 21st Century...
