Twice a recipient of the Southern Texas PGA Media/PR Award, Jim Apfelbaum has reported from the Ryder Cup, U.S. Open, British Open and the Masters. As senior writer for AOL's iGOLF, Jim created the popular Swizzle Stick G&CC. Golf World has singled out his travel writing as "The stuff no one else has." The book Golf on the Web cited his humor and commentary as "The best of the bunch." He is immediate past president of the Texas Golf Writers Association. His sixth book, 'Golf Unplugged,' a series of historical and humorous essays, will be published in 2007 by Tatra Press.

Jim additionally hosts the longest-running show on sports market leader KVET-AM in Austin. Golftexas.com named That's Golf! "Best Golf Radio Show." Said the reviewer: "Catch host Jim Apfelbaum's call-in show more than once while passing through the Hill Country and you can't help but notice his keen knowledge and passion for the game. An avid golf historian and true gentleman, Apfelbaum avoids fluff and stays true to the spirit of the game."
