The Soul of Congressional (and the Friendship That Connects Two Clubs)

from Weekday Golf · host Weekday Golf

This week, we’re joined by Congressional Country Club member Ernest Baynard, whose friendship with Preston helped build lasting relationships between Congressional and the Olympic Club.Ernest takes us inside Congressional: the golf, the history, the traditions, the characters, and what a perfect day at the club looks like. We also learn about the genesis of the Ryder Cup-style match that he and Preston started, which team takes the competition more seriously, and which club has the better locker room. Plus, our Ready Golf lightning round with Ernest: Blue or Gold, the best spot at Congressional that isn’t a golf course, the best item on the menu, and his favorite non-Congressional course in the DMV.Follow Weekday Golf:Instagram / YouTube / Facebook: @weekdaygolfpodcastEmail: [email protected] by: Austin WooldridgeMusic provided by: ⁠https://www.classicals.de/mozart-figaro
