More Shivas Golf

Look for more golf opportunities in 2019 for Shivas Irons Society members and supporters to gather together. We are off to Scotland in May with the Golf Historical Society of Canada, and we will be back in Bandon Dunes from September 22-27. We also have plans for golf in Sedona, AZ, and Nashville, TN, in 2019. That's not all: events are brewing for golf in the Chicago area, in Toronto, Canada, in Texas and in California.

Also, members can use the new website to promote new connections and reconnect with former connections for golf and conversation! Just click on Contact Shivas here or at the top of the webpage for answers to your questions.

Thoughts And Prayers For Van.

Some of you may know Dr. Lyman "Van" Slyke from past Society events.  If not, let us introduce you to a pillar of the Society, someone whose efforts well pre-date the 1992 birth of The Shivas Irons Society.  

In addition to being a close and personal friend to SIS Founder Steve Cohen, Van was an early advocate and supporter of Steve's vision that golf could be a vehicle for an examined life, a place where one could learn about him/herself as learner, golfer and human being.  

Van is a charter and advisory board member, has been a board member, a Society writer and a driving creative force behind the creation of The Journal of the Shivas Irons Society.   He is a passionate learner, lover of all aspects of the game, and even a club-fitting hobbyist.  He is a distinguished teacher, author and historian of Modern China at Stanford University, someone who has generously shared his knowledge on Society trips to destinations such as Bhutan.

Above all, Van is a friend who is currently facing health challenges so we ask that you keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
