Thanks to Robbie and Jonathan for having me on the podcast and talking golf for an hour. Enjoyed the hang, boys.

Please join me in wishing the happiest 11th birthday to the Logo of LinksGems, the lover of lakes, the purveyors of ponds, the scourge of birds, the queen of the fairways, the friend to many and enemy of none, the cuddly Chocolate Thunder, the one and only Gracie! 🎂🎉🥳

Best part about the Tour Championship this week for us golf architecture nerds is seeing Andrew Green getting some long deserved recognition for his work renovating East Lake. His work at Congressional, seen here, is equally impressive. He completely transformed this historic

Some friday night lights, courtesy of Friar’s Head. This course would be special in a monsoon or a blizzard, but on a perfect summer evening, when the sun sets over the sound, it’s as good as it gets.

A request from Chucktown for the eponymous Country Club of Charleston. One of my favorite Seth Raynor designs in one of my favorite cities, this 1925 classic at the junction of Wappoo Creek and the Ashley River features both terrific templates (the Lion’s Mouth and the Redan are

The West Links at the North Berwick Golf Club. You know how sometimes you play a new course and think, “That was nice, glad I played it, but I never need to see that one again”? North Berwick is the opposite of that. Play it once and you’re hooked, play it again and you want to

I’m curious: Where would you rank Erin Hills on a list of public courses in the U.S.?

Labor Day is meant to celebrate the achievements of American workers, and although we should do this more often, it’s a great day for us to recognize the some of the hardest working people in golf. Sleepy Hollow is my happy place, and I owe a thanks to the guys who make it so:

A set from the wonderful Charleston Municipal Golf Course. Architect Troy Miller, inspired by the architectural philosophy of Charles Blair Macdonald and his “ideal concepts” for golf holes, designed some real beauties, including those seen here: The Short

The Golf Association of Philadelphia’s 54th Senior Amateur Championship kicked off today at Rolling Green Golf Club. To give you an idea of the kind of test this William Flynn classic presents, consider this: the Round 1 leaders (Chris Fieger & John Barry) came in at 2-over 73

The Old Course at St. Andrews is just endlessly fascinating. Every time I go back into the picture pile, I find more I want to share with you guys.

By request from a soon-to-be first time visitor, a set from the venerable Oakmont Country Club. We’re only 282 days from the return of the U.S. Open to Oakmont’s not-so-friendly confines for a record 10th time. There’s something about an Oakmont Open that just feels right.🐿️

One year from today - September 6, 2025 - the 50th Walker Cup Match begins at Cypress Point Club. The event will pit the best amateur golfers from the United States against those from Great Britain and Ireland on the world’s most beautiful golf course. If you can, go. If you

I don’t know if you guys knew this, but today is National Buy a Book Day. Huh. Interesting. 🤷‍♂️ back9press.com/pages/raynor

I like to think that when a golfer plays the game the right way, follows the rules, is a good host, respects the golf course, fixes divots, etc., they get to go to golf heaven when he or she dies. And I like to think that golf heaven is the Valliere Course at Morfontaine.

A Scottish friend requests a set from Dumbarnie Links, a new Clive Clark designed public course in Fife about 20 minutes from St. Andrews. Nearly every hole allows for stunning views of the Firth of Fourth and the wide fairways, big greens and half-par holes serve up lots of
