This week we got the chance to hear Emily Casey talk about her path into the turf world. Was it ordinary? No. Of course not. What fun would that be? After running a business at 24, selling it, and finding a little nook called flagstaff Arizona on a road trip- it became her new home. A woman of many talents, Emily is only just beginning her story in turf. Led by superintendent Josh Cleavanger, her upward bound is exciting. We look forward to keeping up with her and hope her story will inspire oth...

What an episode! Lots of fun catching up with Rob Collins who is the lead designer for King-Collins. You all probably know King-Collins from their work at Sweetens Cove and some of the other projects they have upcoming. Rob and I take a bit of a detour from the typical story of Sweetens and rather discuss what he tries to implement in his designs, what inspires his architecture, how to blend all the stakeholders in a new golf course, and a lot more. If you have played Sweetens, are interested in...

Heck of a conversation between Walker and Colin talking all things Yale golf from a historical standpoint, Yale Golf Course in the past, present, and future (shoutout Gil), and more. The closest thing golf may have to a renaissance man, Colin and Walker also dive into Colin's interests and work with The Outpost Club, The Tree Farm, a few projects across the pond, and many other areas of interest within and outside of the game of golf. This one gets a little long, but there is a lot of good stuff...

Awesome episode with a father, entrepreneur, brother, husband, podcaster, author, and golfer that can relate to just about anyone on multiple levels. John has amazing perspective on the game and the things it has done for him through the years but also how it is not even close to his main focus at the moment. At least not his game specifically. Walker and John discuss everything from beginnings in the game to college and mid am golf to John now passing the game along to his kids. Further, the di...
