A.V. Macan Podcast goes on the Road
For this episode, we took the podcast on the road and compiled 4 days of content with our group of 8.
Our trip included:
Fircrest Golf Club 1923
Columbia Edgewater Country Club 1925
Inglewood Golf Club 1919
Beach Grove 1927
The first three courses were all designed by A.V. Macan and each had their own taste of what Macan liked to build into his course designs. Specifically, the use of blind tee shots over a hill, sloped greens and fairways following the natural contours of the land.
Enjoyed playing with our group: Bill Coles, Bruce Brown, John Bodman, Ken Tucker, Kent Campbell, George Glover and Perry Carrigan.
PS George and Matt did take down Bruce and Ken in the match at Beach Grove on the final day!
