In this third and final part of my interview with David McLay Kidd about Mach Dunes (part 1 and part 2, here), the architect refutes one of my and others’ main criticisms of the course- an unwieldy routing with lots of blind shots and long transitions between greens and tees. It was my thought that [...]

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 [...]
MACH DUNES- THE DMK TAPES
Mach Dunes opened in July of this past year at roughly the same time as Castle Stuart to the north. Neither is in the heart of Scottish golf touring area and so few if any have played them both. I did make it out to the Mull of Kintyre a few weeks before it opened [...]

RICHARD MANDELL – PART ONE
I first met Richard Mandell when I was at graduate school at the University of Georgia. Richard is a graduate of UGA and had come back to give a talk about the realities of the field of golf course design. I found his talk informative and entertaining.
I was able to track Richard down this summer [...]

A few thoughts on the West Links at North Berwick and a video of the back nine. First, let me say that this has to be one of the most fun golf courses I have ever played and for me that is the biggest compliment I can give. If you don’t like North Berwick, then [...]
NORTH BERWICK- FRONT NINE
Here is a video of the front nine at the West Links at North Berwick. I will hopefully have a some time to write up a few thoughts with the back nine video.
Also, check out my interview with course manager Stuart Greenwood.
STUART GREENWOOD- NORTH BERWICK
One of my favorite rounds this year was at North Berwick, a course I would be content to play the rest of my life. While there, I caught up with course manager Stuart Greenwood, the course manger. The interview can be seen after the jump. I am on the road so I will keep this [...]
THE OLD COURSE
I was fortunate to play a round at the Old Course in St. Andrews this year and while I don’t have a lot to say about it (nothing too original at least), I did capture a little video which can be found after the jump.
This was only my third to time around with my sticks, [...]
