DON PLACEK - Golf Design, Collaboration, and the People Who Shape the Game

In this episode of The Hole Story Podcast, we welcome Don Placek of Renaissance Golf Design—a true craftsman whose passion for golf runs as deep as the Nebraska sandhills.Don joins Robby and Jonathan for an insightful conversation that tee’s off with his roots in municipal public golf and travels all the way through his world-renowned work alongside Tom Doak and the Renaissance team. We discuss the magic of shaping courses that blend seamlessly into their landscapes, the importance of playing partners (spoiler: golf is all about the people), and the artistry behind letting the land dictate the course, not just moving dirt for dirt’s sake.https://www.renaissancegolf.com/https://www.instagram.com/placekgolf/BestBall Links:https://BestBall.comhttps://linktr.ee/BestBallhttps://bestball.substack.com - Subscribe to Par 3 Thursdays!Friends of BestBall:B.
