Details of Golf Course Architecture

You are invited to join me this week on  The Retired Coach Radio Show as I welcome golf course architect, Ken Gibson.
Great golf course architecture lies in the details. What places the few, truly great golf course architects in the upper echelon of this type of design is their understanding of this, and their ability to implement these details seamlessly. Learn more about this intensive process and why it requires a hands-on approach to design in the field. Ken Gibson Golf is committed to great architecture in the spirit of the old game.

Here are  a few of the discussion questions I will be asking Ken:

1.  What are your thoughts regarding "green" design and how it relates to the golf industry?


2. Share some positive signs and trends in course design and development you have witnessed in the last 5 years.


3. Do golf course architects intentionally aim tees at hazards and out of bounds?

Improve your game with custom made golf clubs.

My radio show this week will feature Jay Turner, owner of RedBird Sports. Their pursuit of crafting and fitting the finest custom made golf clubs for enthusiasts of all shapes, sizes and abilities remains the same and originates from this simple thought — "You didn't come off an assembly line. Why settle for clubs that do?" They are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year.

Jay and Fred Couples grew up together in the same Seattle neighborhood and relished their competitive rounds at Jefferson Park. Jay currently maintains a 2.9 handicap index. Wow, a great golfer making golf clubs. What a combination: a master craftsman with a passion for the game. Hard to beat, wouldn't you say? Discover why custom fitting is so beneficial and how your game will improve when you play with clubs made just for you.

BTW. Two shows ago, my golfing bud, Cliff, called into the show. Later that day he made a hole in one witnessed by me. Last week, my guest, Heather Jones of Real Women Golf, witnessed an ACE by her friend two days after the show.  Coincidence or not? They say things happen in 3's.
Stay tuned . . . .
