Some of Steve Smede’s day-job cohorts call him a hack. Some on-course cohorts call him a hacker. He doesn’t mind either moniker, just as long as he can reserve his weekends for the four-letter g-word and then live to write about it. When not begging his employer for expense-paid forays to regional and national golf tourna- ments, Smede can be found lashing, shanking, and cussing on his favorite courses throughout the region. His credits include editorial posts for Mountain West Golf magazine and a number of other niche recreational publications.
