It has come to the point that I need to start writing out golf thoughts and knowledge to make room for new stuff. This is my place to air out my thoughts and observations in the golf world, in case anyone else would like to follow along.

My name is Philip Kennedy, and I love the game of golf. Born, raised, and still calling Boise, Idaho home, I’ve been lucky to grow up in an incredible golf community. Banbury Golf Course became my second home. As a kid, I spent my days working, practicing, and living the golf life from sunup to sundown.

I played high school golf on a team packed with talented players, many of whom went on to compete at the collegiate level. After high school, I took my game to Portland, Oregon, where I played Division II golf at Concordia University. I had an amazing experience there, playing some of the Pacific Northwest’s best courses, each one testing my game and shaping me as a player.

Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate enough to caddie and support a group of close friends from Idaho as they chased their own competitive golf careers. Those experiences not only sharpened my understanding of the game but deepened my appreciation for everything golf has to offer.

What’s always drawn me to this sport? Beyond the beauty of the courses and the thrill of competition, it’s the mental side of the game. It’s just you and the ball. You alone own the outcome, both the victories and the mishits. That personal challenge is what makes golf so addicting. There are endless variables in every single shot, and when you finally get it right, when you hit that perfect one, it’s a feeling like no other. That’s what keeps us all coming back.

I’m obsessed with every part of the game: from course architecture and history to gear, equipment, and swing technique. My goal for this blog is simple: to share my knowledge, passion, and perspective, and to help you, whether you’re a seasoned player or just picking up the game.

Talk soon,
Philip
