Matt Seban is a turf aficionado, golf travel junkie, and self-proclaimed fairway repair specialist. By day, he runs a successful landscaping business, making the world greener one yard at a time. By night (or whenever he can sneak away), he moonlights as a golf travel writer, covering course openings, redesigns, and turf management techniques with the enthusiasm of a man who truly believes grass is his spirit animal.
With over 20 years of turf management experience—specializing in athletic field turf—Matt has a deep appreciation for the delicate balance of maintaining perfect playing surfaces. He’s been known to roam fairways armed with a bottle of seed and sand, patching divots like a wandering golf course doctor. Rumor has it, every time he takes a divot, a little piece of his soul dies.
Matt has played golf in more than 30 states and teed it up on over half of America’s Top 100 Public Courses. He also has a deep appreciation for golf course architecture, especially from the Golden Age of design in the 1920s. When he’s not repairing divots or admiring strategic bunker placements, you might find him competing in hickory golf tournaments, dressed in period attire and wielding century-old clubs with a surprising amount of skill.
Whether he's diving into the nuances of classic course design or debating the best strains of bentgrass, Matt brings a unique perspective to golf travel writing—one that’s equal parts historian, turf geek, and weekend warrior. Follow along as he shares his insights, adventures, and (hopefully) some perfectly manicured fairways.
