The WM Phoenix Open is near and dear to all of our hearts here at CommLinks. Actually, that might be the understatement of the century. We love it. We love the hard work that goes into it. We love the…
Contrary to what my wife believes, the CommLinks team has interests beyond golf. Take this past weekend for example. Friend and Scottsdale-based writer Tom Mackin joined me for an adventure (somewhat) worthy of Indiana Jones. After reading about a collection…
The move was supposed to be so simple. The CommLinks team was only relocating a few miles north up the 101, and this would be a great opportunity to clear out the clutter and really keep things simple.
As with any company relocation, it’s a great chance to rethink office layouts and workflow, get rid of old hoarded files and copies of golf publications dating back to, well, seemingly the turn of the century. And, as the digital…
New year, new me…it seems I hear that tired trope from people every single year about this time. Generally it lasts maybe until the curtain falls on the Super Bowl (Can I say that?). Still I admire its optimism. If…

After 6+ years at Indian Bend Road in mid-Scottsdale, the team at Communication Links packed up and moved on January 15. The trek north to Scottsdale Airpark was but 6 miles, but the chaos of managing our client relationships while…
Kids are made to move. Their little plastic bodies bend and bounce with the natural ease of childhood, the ideal time for athletics of all sorts. Of them, golf certainly fits the refrain “start them while they’re young.” For the…
As years go, 2020 isn’t making anyone’s Top 10 list. I’m not a fan either, but I’m strangely thankful for this year. To be certain, 2020 has not been an easy year to love or even like. Pandemics, wildfires, lockdowns…
Here at Communication Links, we have a lot of pride in our work we do for the Waste Management Phoenix Open and the charities the tournament supports here in Arizona. But when we have our “golf fan” hats on, we’d…
One of my all-time favorite quotes is from erudite philosopher Mike Tyson: “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” Having spent a little time in the ring, I know the truth of this gem. The things…
