Did my man photoshop a golf ball in a divot?
Best rule in golf. 😐

- Also me at a nice club grabbing tees and ball markers...
- Very thankful to @PinehurstResort for inviting us to stay at the Dornoch Cottage while building a few golf holes. So much history in this house, but it’s the little things like using Donald Ross’ favorite Keurig that give you goosebumps.
- Down in Wilson, Arkansas for a couple days. The 6-hole reversible course went to bed in great shape, excited for her to wake up in April! Pictured below are greens for 1/5, 6, 3, and 5/1.
- Trinity Forest further proves that, even when wet, shortgrass around greens challenges pros more than bunkers or rough.
- Slipped over to Lido and Sedge Valley this week for a chance to help out a bit. The scale and detail of Lido will be stuck in my head for awhile. And the site for Sedge looks to be the best land on the entire property. Can’t wait to follow the progress of both!
- Two things come to mind on opening weekend @Old_Barnwell 1) Creative freedom is precious, humbling, thrilling, and gratifying. Forever grateful to Nick for the opportunity of a lifetime 2) Building a course with one of my closest friends was damn fun! Thanks @bschneider126
- A cool thing about Seminole is the siphon drainage system superintendent Hal Hicks installed. Really effective for a course with a high water table and not much elevation to surface drain. After rain events the system has so much force the water table can actually lower.
- At the end of the day the best thing about golf is playing it, not watching it. Don't conflate the health of professional golf with the health of the sport in general. The game of golf is doing just fine.Starting to wonder if making professional golf more intriguing is a losing venture, especially with the current state of technology.
- Here was my Lido Competition par 3 design. Pā’s are Maori forts, and Ruapekapeka is one of the best surviving examples of their ingenious engineering. I wanted to blend the quirky, sharp, intentional pā engineering with Dr. Mac’s elegant, natural, camouflaged earthwork.
- A few more shots of @Old_Barnwell courtesy of @PurvisMorgan. In order: no. 1 prepped for sod, no. 2 green, looking towards no. 5 from no. 3, no. 17.
- The highest compliment I can pay to Rock Creek Cattle Company is I have never been more excited to play a second loop.
- Oddly satisfying. An agronomist uses tiny scissors to remove imperfect blades of grass around the cup on No. 17 @THEPLAYERSChamp.
