Show Notes

In this special edition of Golf Talk Washington, acclaimed golf course architect David McLay Kidd joins Josh Kerns for an in-depth conversation about his mind-blowing body of work spanning the globe from Bandon Dunes to Gamble Sands to Nicaragua and even the Red Sea.

David takes us inside his newest creation, the Quicksands short course at Gamble Sands, we talk about the exceptional US Amateur at Bandon Dunes, his surprising renovation of Seattle's venerable Sand Point Country Club, and he gives us a sneak peak at his newest and potentially most audacious project to date: a dramatic new development on a sand island in the middle of the Red Sea between Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

David also offers insights into the evolution of his design philosophy and craft, and offers some thought provoking takes on how to make golf more fun.
