Philadelphia Area Historic Golf
I"m from the Philadelphia area, and I love geeking out over the historic courses crafted by Golden Age architects in our area. I love researching about the Philadelphia School of Golf Course Architecture. If anyone is from the area and would be interested in playing 18 at Jeffersonville, Galen Hall, Reading Country Club, similar type of courses (as far out as the Poconos), or a private course you have access to that would fit under that, I could work to help organize the day.

As a newbie to the area I'm far from the most qualified person to begin this thread but here we go. Excited to have a place where we can actually chat and meet some new people in the area! Having lived here for just over a year I'm ashamed to say I've only played golf three times within an hour of my house. Looking forward to changing that

Fried Egg Events - Early Releases Complete
First off, I'm pumped to have a place to actually make announcements about FEGC activities that isn't via email.
Second, for those who missed yesterday's email, all information for our Early Release 2026 Events is now available in our Event Portal. That list includes our event at Belleair on February 2 (open for registration), February Tree Farm Retreat (lottery opens Tuesday), August Sand Valley Trip (lottery opens on Tuesday), Streamsong Trip (sold out), Pinehurst Trip (sold out), and Bandon Dunes Trip (sold out).
These are just the first of our full 2026 schedule that will come out in the not-so-distant future. I know many of the trips that have launched to this point require a lot of travel and financial commitment, and it's because of those commitments that we began with them. But rest assured we have a wide range of offerings coming in the full schedule.
If you have any questions feel free to drop them here! Or send me a message directly via email at will@thefriedegg.com

Atlanta Area Carton
Hello friends! 36, married father of one, and no interest in fighting.
We live in Atlanta and are members at PDC, though I tend to wander over to Bobby Jones a lot and enjoy mixing up playing spots. My game waffles between an 8-10 handicap depending on how work and life are going. Usually interested in some kind of friendly competition for low to no stakes other than pride and a good time with friends "hitting the shots" a la Viktor Hovland.
Perhaps stating the obvious by being a FEGC member, but very interested in architecture and design. I've always found the business of golf - professional, amateur, and recreational - to be a fascinating subject (I also enjoy business podcasts, e.g., Acquired, and books e.g., Unscripted, Billion Dollar Whale, The Power Broker).

Beautifully written, KVV.
DFW's commencement speech is overquoted, but your words brought his to mind: "Because here's something else that's weird but true: in the day-to day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship."

A few of the pictures need to be rotated and just making a suggestion, adding the “par” designation for each hole, gives context to how the holes sequence together. As always, content is top notch still!

Listened to the Designing Golf pod, and my my experience, Garrett was spot on about the utilitarian nature of the Hawtree families work. Hawtree family was involved in the design, redesign and renovation of quite a few golf courses here in Belgium (where I live). And, after playing nearly all the courses they have had a presence, they have a style that rarely terrible or great...just pragmatic. I've not been a fan of some of the places they have been hired for green redesigns, because their greens are not very interesting with contours, relying mostly on bunkering around the greens as the defenestration of par. I think the Hawtree families best work is when they did the entire design, such as Royal Limburg and Royal Waterloo, where their style is consistent. They are often rated in the top 5 of courses in Belgium....although, I really prefer Limburg...its heathland with some quirk and lots of heather.

Lpga Amundi Evian Championship Fake Major
Jul 10
Well supported argument, and I tend to agree. I think a similar defense could be given for The Players being a major on the men's side too (elite field, legacy, money, strong test, etc). There is a definite aversion to reconsidering majors, but I think it's important to remember that nothing was a "major" immediately. Every major has reached that status over time

St Andrews New Course
Jul 4
“ Whenever I play the New Course in St. Andrews, I am subconsciously faced with a difficult question, one that likely cannot be answered: Is it possible to fairly judge (and ultimately enjoy) something on its own merit without contrasting it to a neighboring course that is its clear superior?”
Will could have started his review of the Augusta Country Club the same way!

St Andrews New Course
Jul 4
Thank you for the this write up. I was fortunate to play the New Course on an amazing trip to Scotland last summer with 7 friends. The New Course round was essentially an after thought for our group and was only acquired in order for our group to get access to the Old Course. Some guys understandably skipped it to rest after 36 the day before at Muirfield, in preparation for the Old the next day. I ended up playing with one other from our group and our driver Alan, a colorful Scotsman and avid golfer. He also acted as our unofficial caddy as he had played the New many a time. I can only describe the round as care free, enjoyable stroll. No nerves or pressure that comes with playing an Open Rota venue. Nothing felt monumental…..in a good way. It was just golf on sacred ground.
#9 was definitely the most intimidating par 3 on the trip! 230 yds into the breeze. Estuary left, gorse filled gully right. I did not birdie it!

St Andrews New Course
Jul 3
Great write-up, thank you! I agree that the New Course's quality and relaxed atmosphere make it an underappreciated part of St. Andrews. Our group played it twice a couple years ago in September, as pressure from the AIG Women's Open and Dunhill Cup limited Old Course access. Even though it was not even on our formal trip itinerary, the New Course was one of our favorites (above heavyweights like Carnoustie and Royal Aberdeen) and the experience prompted us to play multiple rounds.
Part of the fun is also in walking up to a great course and having the starter apologize for asking you to wait 45 mins before teeing off. It is a refreshing antidote to the formalized puffery of most US golf. The New Course quickly removed any (first world) angst created by not "winning" the Old Course ballot / lottery.

Hole seven was fun om sunday afternoon but that is only because of the big tail wind they had. I dont know why they did not build a new tee for them on 14? They play that hole longer then the men do. I too cant wait to see a new Hazeltine.

The Creek

Love this comp, Dan. I also thought 1-5 were excellent holes.
The way the routing works it is sort of a funhouse version of Spyglass. There, the best and most memorable holes all come right away at the beginning of the round. However you feel about the forest holes that follow, the course's highlight comes early. At The Creek you get the better version of that in two ways. The more memorable holes come later and there are more of them.
