Johnny B Golf
Golf is hard. We still keep coming back
Course notes, golf destinations, useful gear, and an honest look at the game.
Meet Johnny B
I'm the golfer behind this page — and living proof that no matter how good your last round was, golf will always find a way to humble you.
I'll share the courses worth playing, the gear I actually use, the destinations I'd go back to, and a straightforward take on what makes a great day out there. Expect practical advice, a few opinions, and the occasional story about a round that didn't go quite as planned.
This is where I bring you along — the courses, the trips, the gear, and the days on the course that make it worth coming back.
We enjoy golf, complain about golf, buy things we’re convinced will improve our golf, and return next week anyway.
Golf Destinations
Courses worth planning a trip around—and what to do after the round.
Prescott, Arizona
Beautiful views, big elevation changes, and more than a few places for a golf ball to disappear. This course combines golfing & hiking. Bring an extra sleeve and enjoy the ride.
Chandler, Arizona
A regular stop for us, both for a round and for lessons. It’s a comfortable course to play, a good place to work on your game, and home to the golf instruction we trust when the swing starts getting ideas of its own.
Pinetop/Lakeside, Arizona
One of the things I enjoy most about this course is the setting. You're surrounded by tall pines, lush green fairways, and the occasional wild mustang sharing the course.
When I Need More Birdies
When my swing needs more help than another bucket of balls can provide, I call our friend Colin Pidgeon at EZGolf Academy. He has a way of finding the problem without turning the lesson into advanced calculus.
His instruction is clear, practical, and built around the golfer in front of him—whether you’re new to the game or simply trying to make the good shots show up more often.
Colin teaches at Springfield Golf Resort in Chandler and offers private coaching, clinics, and structured training.

Srixon Golf Balls
The ball I reach for most often. Good feel around the green, reliable off the tee, and forgiving enough for the kind of golf I play.
Rangefinder
This rangefinder is accurate, easy to use, and especially helpful on unfamiliar courses. It tells me the right distance—but I still might choose the wrong club anyway.
My Golf Shoes
Comfortable enough for eighteen holes, supportive through the swing, and still presentable when we stop for lunch afterward.
Johnny B Golf Goods
Branded golf gear is in the works. The first Johnny B Golf hat is currently being tested where it matters—on the course.
