Golf Course Industry editor-in-chief Guy Cipriano is among the top golf writers in the country. Again.

Cipriano landed his second award in three years from the Golf Writers Association of America, this time for his May 2020 cover story, “Driving Through,” about a five-day drive home across the country during the early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic. The story highlighted the importance of golf courses then and always, and provided snapshots of a handful of courses and superintendents well off the beaten path.

The story was recognized with a tie for second in the non-daily features category, tied with a story published in Golf Digest and edged only by a feature published in The Golfer’s Journal.

“Yes, I played golf on the drive home. Plenty of it,” Cipriano wrote in his award-winning story. “Sometimes I felt guilty about it. But I only played alone. I only played 9 holes at each stop. I thoroughly washed my hands immediately after debit-card transactions. I only took a cart once and that was to squeeze a third nine into a dreary drive through Missouri. I never touched a flagstick or course accessories.

“I discovered Cerbat Cliffs and Hidden Cove Golf Course in Arizona; Bill and Payne Stewart Golf Course, Oak Meadow Country Club and Pevely Farms Golf Club in Missouri; and Hartley Hills Country Club in Indiana. Each course offered a sense of place and serenity, two things missing from many lives as COVID-19 curves escalated.”

Cipriano, a member of the GWAA, was previously honored with a second-place award in the special projects category in the 2018 contest for his three-part series about the flooding and subsequent rebuilding of The Old White TPC at The Greenbrier.

Trade publications are almost never recognized by the contest’s judges. Cipriano’s two awards are the only such honors for trade publications in recent memory, according to those judges.
