About Andy
Fore please, Andy Reistetter now driving… Those are the words I would like to hear one day on the first tee of Augusta National. Not during the Masters of course but any other day would be fine with me. In the meantime I am living "the dream" of a lot of golfers but more importantly I am living "my dream life."
After a successful management career I wanted to pursue my passion which is golf, travel and writing. I put all my belongings in a 10X10 storage unit, moved to Ponte Vedra Beach in early February 2008 and volunteered for the Florida Swing tournaments. I had no contacts, some transferable skills and a great desire to learn from the bottom up.
I was fortunate to transition from volunteering to assisting in golf broadcasts to writing about all aspects of golf, including golf travel destinations. I still do all three. After three years of literally following the tour I bought a home in Ponte Vedra Beach and enjoy volunteering for THE PLAYERS and the World Golf Hall of Fame in nearby St. Augustine in addition to following the tour.
This website is designed to share my love of the game and showcase four areas- golf travel (including domestic and extended journeys around the world, inspirational people in golf that I meet along the way, amateur and professional golf coverage, and hickory golf representing my love for the history and traditions of the game. Here are more details of each area with links to that section of Andy's Golf & Travel Diary. I hope you enjoy the site and as we say in the business that I "see you down the road."
