Waiting for the grass to grow is harder than waiting for paint to dry and harder than waiting for “likes” on social media. 😅

Mr. Player takes us inside his three Masters victories, sharing how Mr. Palmer’s loss of focus opened the door for him in 1961, a shot in 1974 that remains one of the greatest I’ve ever seen, and how he nearly shot 27 on the back nine while winning his third Green Jacket in 1978. Hearing those stories from the man who lived them is a pretty special experience.

We also get into what you and I can take from his success: discipline, preparation, fitness, and handling pressure. Mr. Player explains why he believes his book, Don’t Choke, should be required reading for junior golfers, and shares his passion for giving back to the game.

Then Augie gives us a fresh way to look at the courses we play. We discuss what separates a good course from a great one, how design influences our decisions, and his experiences working with Nicklaus Construction, Tom Fazio, and Gary Player. He also takes us inside his work designing holes for TGL. Augie has an incredible artistic eye, and his enthusiasm makes this such an enjoyable conversation.

If you missed this episode with Mr GARY PLAYER and , I hope you’ll give it a listen. You can find the episode in my “Podcast” section here on Substack. Chris Mascaro

I have a phrase that I use when I begin our presentations, “the passion begins when you live the experience,” and experiences like this are precisely how I continue to grow my passion for the game we love and the wonderful industry we are fortunate to be part of.

The great Jim Nantz says, “Hello, friends,” and that is exactly how we felt last night as he received ASGCA’s highest honor, the Donald Ross Award.

Fittingly, Jim is the first broadcaster ever to receive the award — a recognition not only of his legendary voice, but of the way his storytelling, love for the game and appreciation for golf course architecture have helped generations see golf through a deeper lens.

Jim, thank you for sharing your stories, your passion and your inspiration with all of us.

Hello, friend — and congratulations.

You know that something cool is about to happen when my ASGCA jacket with the insole is about to get into a suitcase.

In October, beware the Sunday pin on Eight.

This hole may play docile on the left… but vicious on the right.

Playing tip: if you see The Reaper reflected in the lake, it may be a sign to play safe when the flag is tucked right. Your margin for error gets smaller as you aim right.

Will you fear The Reaper?

Status: Photo taken during construction process in September. Hole is fully sprigged.

To my son:
What did you learn today at work ?

My 12 year old son:
“I learned that you see the dirt, you walk the dirt, you talk to dirt, you paint the dirt, you smell the dirt, you caress the dirt, you discuss dirt, you plan dirt, you move dirt, you like dirt and it seams, dirt likes you”.

Son, you have much to learn, it’s not dirt, it’s soil 😉

Our first dad / son walkthrough. Appreciate the hospitality as always Jupiter Country Club crew.
