from Contra Costa Confidential · host Aaron Strout

This episode covers a lot of ground. We start with board member, John Sala and The General recounting the story of their cart catching on fire and burning to the ground while playing in Las Vegas. Then host JD McCormick and our producer, Aaron Strout, sit down with Gordon Keyden of The Royal and Ancient (R&A) course in Scotland to talk about the birthplace of golf, The Old Course and differences between the game in the UK and the US. Finally, JD and Brett Thomas walk down memory lane with CCCC legend, Luis Escobar, one of the mainstays of the Club's dining room.
