Golf, whiskey, cigars — and the stories that make them worth chasing.

This week we chased lightning with Pappy, proving bourbon hunting is more about the story than the shelf. We kicked back in the leather chair and reminded ourselves that reflection, not repetition, is what makes golf easier. We laughed at cigar bar politics in Wisconsin—because nothing says ‘freedom’ like tobacco and leather chairs. And finally, we asked if whiskey can save the world, discovering that maybe it won’t—but it sure makes conversation, community, and reflection a whole lot richer.

Inside the ropes, it’s never just golf swings and bottle chases—it’s about slowing down, sharing stories, and finding meaning in the rituals we love.
