Tom Doak and John Dunn stroll twelfth hole at Old Macdoanld and discuss this version of the classic North Berwick hole. Another great view for any fan of golf course design. My hats off to the Kemper Sports team. They sure know how to build up buzz for their new offerings.

OLD MAC #11- THE ROAD HOLE
Another great video of Old Mac. I won’t editorialize too much, but I do think it interesting that both the road hole green and the redan (11 & 12) at Old Mac do not have any bunkers behind them. It certainly makes for manageable recovery shots even though there will be less chance for a [...]
LINKS GOLF AND OLD MAC
The next installment of Kemper Golf’s videos from Old Macdonald. John Dunn hangs around with Grant Rogers and learns how to play true links golf shots with the putter from just about anywhere. This video will get you drooling and wishing you were in Bandon right now.

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 [...]
OLD MAC #7
Another great video featuring Tom Doak talking with John Dunn at Old Macdonald. This time they are on the seventh hole and are discussing how the green came to be placed on the top of the ridge with a great look at the Pacific Ocean. The most interesting part may be when Tom tells how [...]

This is a first of a series of videos commissioned by Josh Lesnik and Kemper Sports to promote the new course at Bandon Dunes. It is hosted by our good friend John Dunn, who is a golf journalist when he is not caddying at places like Pacific Dunes or Augusta National. The video features interviews [...]
JIM URBINA & OLD MAC (PART TWO)
In the second part of my interview with Jim Urbina from this past February out in Bandon, Jim talks about the bold features that the team incorporated into the design at Old Macdonald. The greens are some of the wildest that I have ever seen on any golf course. The sixth hole at the National [...]
JIM URBINA & OLD MACDONALD

At Old Macdonald, which will fully open in 2010, he has been elevated to the title of co-designer. I have had the pleasure of working with Jim on a number [...]

A few videos of Old Mac have popped up on You Tube, so I thought I would post them here for posterity. The quality is not that good, but they give you a feel of the place. On the second video there is a brief interview with Mike Keiser. John Grothe, director of golf of [...]
