Thanks for this, Garrett. Will be interesting to see how the US Team decides to set up the course to their advantage during the Ryder Cup. Had a question for you as it relates to the July 31 episode of Designing Golf (which was excellent by the way). Mike mentioned a Ben Cowan on-board with Proving Ground, and I was wondering, is this the same Ben Cowan of Cabot fame? Thanks!

I can't bring myself to order it because it's a bit pricey and I'm not from NYC or Long Island, but my god... it's dope as hell. Genuinely going to sell out in a week.

I find a lot of interesting match play courses feature "half-par" holes. I remember a back-and-forth with JLM during the Solheim Cup in Spain, where his primary criticism of the course was a lack of shot value. I eventually warmed up to his assessment because, while I enjoyed watching the golf being played, I found the matches mundane, as there were no opportunities for players to gain an advantage by playing a hole more aggressively or by throttling back to a calculated layup. The more varied potential outcomes are from hole to hole, the more the match might swing back and forth.

Very high on the "courses I could play every day" list. Biggest regret was not spending more time in the clubhouse

A steal :)

The bad uniforms are the ones you remember. The picture frame shirt from Brookline, lavender sweaters and nameplate rain gear from Celtic Manor, AK’s belt buckles from Valhalla, etc. These stink, and I am here for it.

The Bomber jacket is only $598 on the RL website! Just ordered 2.

Too jarring to comment at this time. I will need time to process.

The Just A Uniform Collection

Are we sure that Under Armour didn't have a hand in the Sunday scripting? 100% looks like it's out of the Jordan Spieth collection
