The Future of Golf Course Development and Design with Chuck Ermisch

GSfMO#247
Chcuk Ermisch is a golf course architect who shares his thoughts on the state of the industry on building new courses, why tour pros are now putting their names on course design and what we should expect in the future. He shares a story of designing with Nick Faldo.

This is part 1 of a 2 part conversation. Next week we speak more about how an architect designs strategy into a course and how we can improve our round by understanding how to read the features of a course. We also talk about what's going on around in golf architecture around the world. Join Golf Smarter for Members Only so that you don't miss next week's full episode.
