Matt Allen came to Chambers Bay after nine years at Bandon Dunes.  As the General Manager, he is responsible for making things go smoothly in anticipation of the 2010 U.S. Amateur and the 2015 U.S. Open. In this first part of my interview with him, he discusses the site’s history and how it came to be a golf course. This is a project that took a lot of vision, both by the county executive and then Robert Trent Jones Jr., to create such an audacious golf course. (Video after jump)

Chambers Bay is in the enviable position of having received a blessing by the USGA as one of the best courses in the U.S. As Matt points out, this acknowledgment by the USGA has led to more attention in both the local and national press, which in turn has put Chambers Bay on everybody’s short list of must plays. This surely helps in the course’s effort to educate the public about links golf and fescue greens.

Hopefully, as more and more golfers get to Chambers Bay, they will enjoy this type of golf and return to their home courses with a new appreciation for firm and fast golf. It is through incremental steps that the long held belief in the desirability of green and lush conditions will be overcome. I highly commend Chambers in their effort to help along the cause.

  1. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is,lv wallets I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

    One thing I’d really like to say is that car insurance canceling is a hated experience and if you’re doing the right things like a driver you may not get one. Many people do get the notice that they have been officially dumped by their particular insurance company they have to fight to get additional insurance from a cancellation. Inexpensive auto insurance rates tend to be hard to get following a cancellation. Understanding the main reasons pertaining to auto insurance termination can help drivers prevent sacrificing one of the most significant privileges readily available. Thanks for the concepts shared by your blog.
