About Me

My photo
Will o'the Glen
I am a retired mechanical engineer with a longtime interest in golf, from the history and literature of the game to the current goings-on in the worlds of recreational golf and professional and amateur competition. My main beat is Northern California, from the Monterey Peninsula to the San Francisco Bay Area, and beyond – the home of some of the best golf in the world. If it happens in golf in this area, I am interested, and likely to be writing about it at Will o'the Glen on Golf. (Member GWAA.) Visit my companion blog, Will o'the Glen on Books for reviews of an eclectic variety of books, from historical non-fiction to general literature.
