Community Series — 2026

Blade
Stories.

Real members. Real setups. Real walking rounds. Blade Stories is a running series celebrating the golfers who choose muscle backs, carry their own bag, and know a MacKenzie green when they see one. No influencers. No sponsors. Just the people who make this thing worth doing.

Four Prompts. Five Photos.

  • Setup Spotlight

    Your blade irons, putter, and push cart — the working tools of a purist round.

  • Why Blades?

    One paragraph on why you left forgiveness behind. Feel, feedback, respect — pick your reason.

  • Favorite Walk

    The most walkable course you have played. Bonus points for the ones nobody talks about.

  • Golden Age Influence

    The architect or classic course that shapes how you think about the game.
