Didn’t know if I’d ever see them finally get over the top. Let’s Go Reddddddd!!!!!

I can guarantee I would’ve been trying the same (probably not executing the same). Way to go ZB

What more, I feel like this tournament should be a great unifier. The architecture geeks (me included) have something for them, and the brutality-cravers have the deep rough setup. It’s a great time for a reasonable, nuanced discussion! And there’s plenty of nuance to go around

Back right 13 LFG. Praying for someone to be stuck short right and use the embankment to steer it around the bunker

"Which brings me to my final example and the greatest of all when it comes to change: Cypress Point. While the coastal, cliff-edge holes late on Cypress’s back nine get the most attention, the preceding journey is loaded with changes of dramatic, beautiful landscapes. The first

People talk a lot about variety but not about the act of *experiencing* it. That visceral act stimulates us in core, human ways, and it’s also what distinguishes great golf from average golf. Thanks Fried Egg for letting me share my thoughts here:

Terrific article here. How our craving for “change” is provided through routing & golf course design choices. Love the photos used to further illustrate Brett’s ideas. *Tain is now on my Dream List!!!

I’ve always enjoyed this bit and the rules/traditions/respect with the flag. Usually means a tougher round though, with a lot of holes cut close to the green edge! Happy 4th

“The game has been waging a battle against the inventor, and the architect has come to its assistance. The one aim of the inventor is to minimize the skill required by the game: he tries to invent something which will make skill less necessary; he appeals to the skill-less player

New tee on hole 6 at Sacramento’s Land Park is grassed. Big and slightly oriented to the right, it’s built for the hole’s future as a sort of reverse version of 10 at Riviera. Nice big open canvas just waiting out there to introduce some strategy…

Reliving a fond memory last night on the 8th hole at GGP (from media day 2023). Also watching the kids from First Tee—San Francisco chasing the sun. Great to spend the day playing and walking some of our favorite golf holes in SF with Brett Hochstein.

So happy to see GOLDEN GATE PARK as #2 public short course in USA. First Tee—San Francisco Josh Lewis GG Park Golf Course Brett Hochstein JustinCarlton

Clyde is both sensitive to history and sensical to the realities and approaches of GB&I clubs. That, and an appreciation for those “30 yards in front,” are IMO the prerequisites for working there (and probably should be anywhere).Start cautiously and carefully, and grow from that

Pasatiempo was one of the first great golf courses I played, so I’ve always had an affinity for it. Even with so much recent praise (including now up to 110th in the world), I’ll still contend that this Alister MacKenzie design is underrated. A lovely spot to chase a ball.
