This episode features a conversation with Bubba Wright, the GCSAA Class A superintendent at Pebble Beach Golf Links, as he and his team prepare for the 2023 U.S. Women's Open, July 3-9. We talk about what's gone into readying the course for the first women's professional event to be contested at Pebble Beach since the 1940s, Wright's long affiliation with the Pebble Beach Companies, and what it's like to maintain turf at one of America's great golf destinations.

The GCSAA Podcast is presented in partnership with Envu.
