The first time I met Josh Smith was in Valentine, NE. I had just hit a grouse with my sweet PT Cruiser rental. The grouse had gone through the grill and completely disabled the car. I pulled up in front of the hotel after the lone taxi in the area had come fetch me forty [...]

BUCOLIC GOLF IN SCOTLAND
This quick video was taken last week in Scotland at the Moray Golf Club, better known as Lossiemouth. Colin claims his eight iron got caught in the Tornado’s jet wash.
PETE DYE GOLF CLUB- BACK NINE
This is the second part of my review and video on Pete Dye Golf Club. Normally when a course takes sixteen years to build, the end result is not good. Pete Dye GC though proves that sometimes the wait is worth it. The back nine is not as strong or compelling as the front, but [...]
PACIFIC DUNES
On my trip to Bandon in February, I played Pacific Dunes for the first time since the Renaissance Cup, six or seven years ago. I was relatively new to golf course design and certainly new to the construction side of things when I last played there and I have since seen a lot more great [...]
BENVENUE COUNTRY CLUB
Benvenue Country Club, in Rocky Mount, NC, is just a few miles off of I-95 and I was lucky enough to be able to play there on my way down to the South Carolina low country last fall. This old Donald Ross course is quite simple and quite good. While it is short on bells [...]
PETE DYE GOLF CLUB- FRONT NINE
I traveled up to Pete Dye Golf Club deeply skeptical about its lofty perch near the top of Golf Week’s modern rankings (#4). I have long admired Pete’s work, but a could a course in the mountains of West Virginia that took sixteen years to build really be better than Friars Head, Ballyneal and Chambers [...]
CYPRESS POINT – BACK NINE
For everyone on the soggy East Coast:
The back nine at Cypress Point is about as good a nine as there is in golf, but to me it is also the most beautiful landscape that I have ever spent time in. We were blessed to tour the back nine in the evening of a spectacular, early [...]
AETNA SPRINGS
This is the final installment of the my Aetna Springs trilogy. It is a truly special little course and worth getting out to see. It was fun working in such a pretty environment and great to get back there and see how it turned out. (Video and hole by hole review after the jump)
JIM URBINA UNPLUGGED
This video was shot during a trip out to Bandon at the end of February, just as Jim and Tom Doak were pulling the last few holes of Old Macdonald together. We were discussing the yet to be finished seventeenth green and Jim quickly dropped to all fours and starts playing in te sand to [...]
