After a recording snafu caused us to lose our first chat with Jay Blasi a couple of weeks back, he was kind enough to join us again upon returning from a trip to Europe. 10/10 gentleman.

Historic private courses dominate the Maryland rankings. Nonetheless, the Old Line State is loaded with scenic, testing, value-oriented public layouts that are as appetizing as the state’s Chesapeake Bay blue crabs. The 10 best you can play in Maryland: linksmagazine.com/top-10-marylan…

Golf course logos are fun to recognize, think about, and discuss. For Lee Carr McGovern, her list changes often, but it always has some familiar treasures and some logos that are new on the scene. In no particular order, her 10 current favorites: linksmagazine.com/my-10-favorite…

In 1965, Dan Jenkins chose the par-3 third hole The Olympic Club (Lake) as the best third hole in America. With its Golden Gate Bridge view and restoration by Gil Hanse, it’s holding up very nicely #USAmateur

Jenkins’ 18 picks were published in a two-part series SI Golf in print, then in a hard cover book and eventually formed the basis for a board game.

“It beats you by testing your patience, persistence, courage, concentration, course management and creativity. You finish a round at Olympic feeling like you’ve just donated three pints of blood.” —Johnny Miller on the Olympic Club’s Lake course #USAmateur

East Lake will host its 25th TOUR Championship this year, but it’s not the only course that has served in that role. Seven other layouts have played host since the event’s inception in 1987. Here are the 8⃣ Tour Championship venues, ranked top to bottom: linksmagazine.com/every-tour-cha…
