Designing golf has quickly become my favorite FEG podcast. It is clear that Garret and his guests think about golf design in a unique and nuanced way (beyond just width and angles). Really appreciated the most recent conversation with Mike. Keep up the great work
Love the content. Don’t always agree with views and opinions but that’s how it should be. Would love to see a few features on true public golf.
Great podcast for both beginner & advanced architecture nerds. Love the podcast, learn something every time I listen. It has deepened my appreciation for the game of golf & the courses I play. Even the most basic course has aspects of architecture that make the round more enjoyable as you’re playing & noticing features that previously I would not have paid attention to
Highly recommended
Love this show for fans of the design, architecture, and agronomy side of the golf business. I would love to hear an episode about Architect’s Golf Club in New Jersey. It is a beautiful course and each hole is based on the work of an architect from the golden age of design. This would be a cool way to talk about many different architects in one episode!
