Ep. 12: Bears, Bandon, and Breaking 90: Closing Out Season One

from Contra Costa Confidential · host Aaron Strout

Hosts JD McCormick and Brett Thomas close out season one with tales from a summer on the road. Brett recounts his second Truckee bear encounter (this one raided the fridge), JD shares highlights from a Bandon Dunes trip, and they debate skins game handicap strokes and rank Bandon's courses. General Manager Ryan Ott joins to talk about the course's post-aerification recovery, superintendent Derek's drier, more playable conditions, El Niño prep, and progress on the new learning center with its simulator bays and fitting cart. Plus: Play for Pink's $100K goal, a busy October lineup, Op 36 love, and a playoff baseball tangent. And the season two challenge: getting producer Aaron to break 90 from the 3/4 tees within a year!
