Episode 49: Jon Cone - 5.5 Handicap
April 24, 2025 · 65 min

This week on Golfers Anonymous, I’m joined by Jon Cone, a geologist and the voice behind Milwaukee Golf Blog, who brings a seriously unique perspective to the golf world.

We talked about how his background in geology gives him a fresh appreciation for golf course design—especially in a place like Wisconsin, where glaciers left behind some of the most fascinating terrain in the country. From Erin Hills to Sand Valley to Lawsonia Links, Jon breaks down how the land itself tells a really cool story.

We also got into his journey with the game, the vibrant Milwaukee golf community, and a lost golf course on the land that is now used for Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
