Tie Course Reviews 6-Great Courses to Learn on, Hone on, and Play For Life on!
April 25, 2024 22:00 - 39 minutes - 91 MBGolf, like anything has a lifecycle to it. You learn the game, you spend a long long time honing the game, and as an extension of that, you hopefully play the game for life. While you wouldn't play the same set of clubs your entire golfing life, you probably won't stick to the same course either. There are certain "beginner friendly" courses that may be particularly good for learning the game. Certain places really help a developing or perhaps advanced golfer hone their game, and certain c...

Mudball Monday 128-Amateurs vs. Old Guys at The Masters!
April 01, 2024 04:00 - 50 minutes - 115 MBTwo of the great parts of The Masters are the inclusion of the Amateurs as well as past champions in the field. It gives the field texture, half of which being new excitement and half of which being a consistency of players we have seen for years, whether they have any chance of playing well or not. Today we discuss how the old heads stack up against the young guys not playing for a check and who may have the upper hand based on this exact crop of guys as well as what history would tell us ...
Rachel Heck-Next Steps and Deciding to Forego Pro Golf!
March 26, 2024 12:00 - 41 minutes - 38.8 MBIf you were playing competitive golf at my age, you knew who Rachel Heck was. She made it look easy- always has. Despite wrestling mind, body, and soul the last few years, she came back a few weeks ago ready to play. Her freshman season accolades alone fill up a page, and her appearances for professional and team events only brightened the lights. We forget that the people playing at the highest level have to make a choice – is this… it? Is this what I am going to dedicate my life to? ...

March 25, 2024 05:00 - 57 minutes - 131 MBRound 2 of our MBM pre Masters series! This time we're talking about who CAN as well as who CAN'T win The Masters this year. A lot to think through these days on who our real hitters are as we get to these majors given all the complexity in the golf world. The majors have been made that much more special by the fact that we only get to see the game's best players together a handful of times these days.

Mudball Monday 125-Finding the Best Playing Conditions by Time of Year!
March 11, 2024 04:00 - 46 minutes - 32.1 MBConditions matter, let's be honest. We all enjoy playing a very well conditioned golf course but the importance of conditioning goes far beyond the enjoyment of "aesthetics." Conditions affect the way a golf course plays and how we can and should go about trying to navigate it as golfers. Further, the way different parts of the country and world are conditioned at their best and in different times of the year is an interesting thing to think through. In today's conversation we cover: - Ho...

February 29, 2024 22:00 - 1 hour - 62.4 MBJeff Marsh has been en fuego for the entirety of 2023 as I've seen it - but with all great stories, there's a lot more to it.

Jeff has an unusually deep understanding of the game from a photographers lens having caddied on the PGA TOUR for Ryan Moore, running the caddie program at Chambers Bay, and leading the creative branding for TRUE Linkswear.

February 22, 2024 23:00 - 44 minutes - 30.3 MBIsaiah made the 2019 US Walker Cup Team as the capstone of a highly successful amateur career before falling into the wilderness of pro golf created by the pandemic. Those who didn't have status were significantly set back from a traditional career arc, especially for the class of player Isaiah is in. After enduring an up and down 3.5 years, Isaiah won on the Korn Ferry Tour 2 weeks ago in Panama by 8 shots to set himself on a path towards the PGA Tour for next season. A massive win for all ...
Mudball Monday 122-Caddies. SWOT Analysis on Loopers!
February 19, 2024 05:00 - 53 minutes - 36.8 MBThe bag man. An important part of the game's past, present, and future. Whether we're talking competitive golf, casual golf, or really any part of the game, caddies have there place. That said, it's interesting to consider how caddy culture differs in different parts of the country or world. It's easy to think that the way you or I have experienced caddies is the only way they work, but that is not the case, and that is what we are here to think through. In today's conversation we discuss: ...

Mudball Monday 121-Designing Our Ideal Practice Facility!
February 12, 2024 05:00 - 46 minutes - 32.2 MBSome don't use them altogether, so it makes enough sense as to why practice facilities are not talked about as often as they perhaps should be, but today we are going to change that. When designing any golf course, you are clearly going to have a practice facility and like all parts of the process, it needs to be thoughtful so that it fits the proper criteria based on what you are looking for out of the club as a whole.

January 29, 2024 05:00 - 57 minutes - 39.8 MBThe early season lull seems to have formally exited stage left. LIV, amateurs no longer, big names making big moves, AK!!!!!!!, there is all sorts of craziness going on and we of course are here at mudball monday to break it down.

Today not only will we talk a bit about the courses in terms of what we look forward t...
Mudball Monday 116-The Modern Locker Room. What Stays and What Goes?
January 08, 2024 05:00 - 45 minutes - 31.5 MBThe locker room. Every course has one. Some courses go all out and some keep it bare bones. There are certain things that every locker room should have. There are certain things that are optional. And there are certain things that just do not belong. With all the new golf clubs popping up these days, we are here to discuss what should be in a locker room, what needs to go due to being out of the times, and what could we consider adding that most places have not traditionally incorporated in...

December 18, 2023 05:00 - 47 minutes - 32.7 MBWe're seeing so many new golf courses come to market over the last few years which is awfully exciting, but the question that always remains for us is will these courses grow up well or not? It's awesome for a golf course to excite on the first time through, but there are certain things that architects can do that excite us the first time through but don't have as much to provide on return trips. The greens, strategy informed by tee balls, and consistency of experience are some of the spec...

Mudball Monday 114-Rollback! Who's it For? How does it Inform Architecture?
December 11, 2023 06:00 - 39 minutes - 27.2 MBRollback, wow, it's here. While I don't believe it's nearly as big of a thing as many people are thinking it is, we have finally arrived at some sort of a show of hand from the USGA on where we are headed with this whole debate about distance and the golf ball and what the next number of years will look like. While this is an important step, at the end of the day it feels more like a PR play than a significant change to how the game will actually look over the next few years. Only time will...

December 04, 2023 05:00 - 45 minutes - 31.6 MBHeeeeee's BAAAAACK!!!!! What a wonderful week it was to once again get to see Eldrick Tont (Tiger) Woods compete once again. As a massive Tiger fan, I find myself genuinely appreciative of him every time he does this as it is so enjoyable for those of us who grew up firmly in the Tiger era to get to watch our man peg it. Each time he does, it's one step closer to the days that it just won't work anymore, so we need to really enjoy each of these as they come. But before we start worrying t...

Mudball Monday 111-Routing and Ordering of a Golf Course. Why Each Matter!
November 20, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 41.7 MBSo, what is the difference between routing and ordering? Well, the routing of a golf course is how the 18 total holes traverse a property and make their way from beginning to end. This requires someone who knows a ton about land movement, dirt, water movement, and all of the important things that a golf course architect brings to the table to help someone get the best golf course on a property. The ordering of the holes is a little different. Once a routing and golf course is in play, you ...

Fast forward to today and Tremont is doing great, as is Christian's golf gam...

Chambers Bay, Santa Ana CC, and Stanford's Practice Facility, to name just a few. A voyage to the lone star state and Houston more specifically was a new journey for Jay but one that for my money he has aced. Lakeside CC is a 1952 Ralph Plummer original and was in need of a new look prior to Jay's work. The new rendition of Lakeside will feature more strategic intrigue, shortgrass, firm and fast playin...

November 06, 2023 05:00 - 49 minutes - 33.9 MBHello friends! Thanks for being back once again for #mudballmonday! Today we're talking about the rankings and why it is hard to break into or out of the top 100.

With all the things we have learned in the past 100 years of golf course architecture and with ou...
