Thrawn is one guy, a newsletter, and a short game that's seen better days.

It started where a lot of things start: a soul-sucking 9-to-5.

The kind of job where you spend all day making things for other people and slowly stop making anything for yourself. I wanted one corner of the week that was mine. No roadmap, no manager, no quarterly anything.

Then I had a kid. Best thing ever. Also absolute chaos.

The standing Saturday tee time turned into a nap schedule. I grew up playing golf in New York. Now I live in London and barely get out. Turns out you can miss something harder once you can't get to it.

So I started opening way too many tabs.

Brands I'd never heard of. Drops I couldn't buy. Courses I wanted to play. YouTube rabbit holes. Old clubs. New ideas. Every strange and wonderful corner of golf culture I still loved even when I couldn't play. At some point there were enough tabs that they needed somewhere to go.

Thrawn is that somewhere.

A small site and a weekly newsletter with the best stuff I found that week. For people who love the game, even when life gets in the way of playing it.

Every date worth circling.

Drops, openings, premieres, ticket windows. Somebody had to keep all these tabs open.
