    Same old story nowadays. It’s ok for certain people to have there own clubs, groups etc but not ok for other people. I’m not part of any club but anyone should have the right to be exclusive to whatever they want just like others

  • Great find, even better podcast

    Awesome episode with Grant. Didn’t really get into podcasts up until six months ago. Grant sounds like he genuinely loves the game and has great history to go with it. I’ll be supporting Eagles and Arrows for sure. Thanks again for the episode.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can Every City Build a Place Like The Park?
Q: How does the park balance locals and visitors to protect community belonging while maximizing revenue?
By tiered pricing, prioritizing locals with seasonal access, festivals, and community programs, while ensuring visitors contribute to the local economy without compromising local access.
Can Every City Build a Place Like The Park?
Q: Is the model transferable to other cities, and can it be replicated at different scales?
Yes, Brian argues it is repeatable in spirit, but scale must match the local market; the core is the people and the identity, not a one-size-fits-all blueprint.
How to Actually Qualify for a USGA Four-Ball
Q: How important is partner selection and chemistry in qualifying for USGA four-ball?
Partner compatibility, communication, and complementing skill sets are crucial; teams that pair steadier players or balance variance with reliability tend to perform better and stay resilient through the rounds.
How to Actually Qualify for a USGA Four-Ball
Q: What makes four-ball different from stroke play for two players on a team?
Four-ball relies on the team's combined score when each player plays their own ball; partners support each other, keep momentum, and leverage each other's strengths, so the team can outperform individual shots even if one player encounters a bad hole.
Sympathetic Renovation with Dave Zinkand
Q: What does strategy and playability mean to you as a designer, and how do you communicate that to players?
Strategy and playability are intertwined; designing contours and angles to challenge top players while still allowing casual players to recover and enjoy the game. It's about creating a cohesive experience across a course, not just individual holes, so players feel engaged regardless of skill level.
