I mean, it's tough to say. Off the top if my head, Brambles and Austin Golf Club are both using more drought tolerant zoysias. I haven't played either, but they seem like real contenders.

Which ones deserve it?

I hope to one day see a 3 Egg course review where the course is grassed with buffalograss, zoysia, or even just refuses to overseed rye. Let's make it happen!

Thanks Will, always a cherry on the top of my golfing year when I can finish it with a TFE event. MI event was fantastic. Any thought about a potential event at Mossy Oak in West Point MS?

Awesome interview Joseph. It's so refreshing to get straight-forward and in-depth content like this. I am not sure if the American side has an equivalent to Dodo, but if not, we need to find that person quickly.

I’ve had dinner in the clubhouse. It’s an incredible experience Like fine dining at clubhouse at Sheep Ranch, with volcanos…

I visited Maui for the first time in early September. Unfortunately my tee times on the Plantation and Bay courses were cancelled. I went over there one night and visited the clubhouse for dinner. It was sad to see everything burnt out (although I would've loved to have played it in baked out conditions). Plantation Course was getting water on the greens though, it seemed like the Bay course across the street wasn't getting any water. I ended up playing Wailea and both Ka'anapali courses which are 10 minutes down the road. Sad thing about all of this is that the other courses nearby aren't having these issues.

Would love to see Fox Chapel make the list. Played it a few weeks ago and would relish the opportunity to do that again. Also hope Moraine ends up back in the list as I live a few miles away and didn’t get the chance this year. Also how many double digit handicaps attend your events? I took a decade off from golf and am working hard on getting back down but being over forty with a young kid leaves me not a lot of time to play and practice. I’m a 15 handicap and feel a little self conscious playing with scratch and plus handicaps from over 6500 yards.

1. Having played there four years ago, that picture is heart breaking. Kapalua may not be in any Top 100 anymore, but it is an experience unlike any other in golf (elevation changes like Augusta, views unlike anywhere I’ve been). 2. WSJ just wrote that Musk’s AI data center in Memphis uses as much water as all the residences in Memphis. Will pictures like this one become more common if AI data centers require more and more water.

Had very limited space on Medinah No. 1 & No. 3 and then a solid crew over at Conway Farms as well
