Great news for all that like strategic architecture and golf courses with a sense of place. Can’t wait to see what they do.

MACH DUNES- THE DMK TAPES II
This is the second part of my lengthy discussion with David McLay Kidd about his new course Mach Dunes in Scotland (Part One, here). One aspect of Kidd’s perspective on the course that I really respect is his bravery to put a product out there that he and the rest of the team knows has [...]
SAGEBRUSH
Sagebrush was on my short list of places I wanted to get to this year, but after seeing this video, it has jumped to the top of my list. I spoke with Richard Zokol this afternoon and he let me know that USGA is going to conduct a case study on Sagebrush’s firm and fast [...]

THE PRAIRIE CLUB VIDEOS
The Prairie Club has released two videos recently. The one above is of Tom Lehman talking about the design of the Dunes course and specifically the sixth hole. Having spent a great deal of time on this hole including shaping the green, I can’t wait to get back out there and see and play it [...]
CHRIS HUNT’S PHOTO OF THE WEEK- SFGC
Having just visited this fine peninsula town and not having played its namesake and finest golfing track, I thought best to revisit my archives from mid-decade and relive post facto some of the pleasure that is San Francisco Golf Club. This would be Tillinghast’s most notable ‘best-coast’ effort of course, with a little love [...]
