Turtle Creek Golf Course

Limerick, PA

A laid-back, forgiving course with strong fairways, soft bunkers, and a closing hole over water that’s as nerve-wracking as it is memorable.

Walnut Lane Golf Club

An urban, tree-lined track that’s beginner-friendly and affordable, but poor conditioning and slow play make it a one-and-done for experienced golfers.

What's in the Bag? 2025 Edition

Every golfer’s bag tells a story — about their game, their tendencies, and how they approach the course. For me, it’s about building a setup that matches my strengths, balances my tendencies, and gives me confidence from tee to green. I play a naturally high ball flight with my irons and a slight fade with most of my longer clubs. My setup is built to keep that in check when I need to and let me lean into it when it’s to my advantage. Here’s a look at what I’m gaming in 2025 and why each club earns its spot in the bag.

Chip’s Charity – Using Golf to Make a Lasting Impact

Golf has always been part of my life. My grandparents played, my parents played, and now my brother and I play. It’s more than just a game to me — it’s been a constant connection across generations. But over time, I’ve realized I want the game to be an even bigger part of my life, not just as a player, but as a platform to make a difference. I’ve helped organize charity events in the past and dedicated my time to supporting other causes, but this one is different — this one is mine. Chip’s Charity is my way of taking my passion for golf and turning it into something that can truly make an impact in people’s lives.
