Architect Tripp Davis discusses classic golf course architecture

Tripp Davis addresses the state of golf course architecture and production today on episode #162 of the Golf Smarter Podcast. Our other topic of conversation focuses on The Tribute in The Colony, TX. In an early episode of GOLF SMARTER (4/6/06), Tripp introduced us to the "Old Course" which offers 18 Scottish-inspired holes from famous British Open venues. The "New Course" which Tripp is collaborating on with Justin Leonard features holes inspired by the legends of golf course architecture. Golf architects offer a unique perspective on playing strategy, and Tripp shares his thoughts on what golfers should be aware of during their next round. This week's quote honors the inauguration of our new President. It was former California Governor George Deukmejian who once said, "The difference between golf and government is that in golf, you can't improve your lie." * Send us your favorite golf quote to use at the end of the program.
