Clyde Johnson, Cunnin' Golf Design - Episode 18

jeudi 6 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:08:21

We're really lucky to be joined by Clyde Johnson of Cunnin' Golf Design. Clyde brings an extensive knowledge of golf course design and construction, built through his time working with Tom Doak at Renaissance Golf Design and, for the past decade, through his own practice.

Learning from and collaborating with some of the best in the business, Clyde takes great pride in crafting natural golf courses on great sites—and in helping clubs enhance their existing layouts through thoughtful master planning.

In this episode, we explore Clyde's career journey, as well as some of the courses that have shaped him—and those he's helped shape in return. These include:

Tara Iti in New Zealand
The Hotchkin at Woodhall Spa
St Enodoc in England
Old Petty at Cabot Highlands, where Clyde served as lead designer/associate

This is a great conversation with one of the most insightful and talented voices in modern golf course design.

On The Tee with Golf Course Architecture Magazine - The Greenprint 17

dimanche 26 octobre 2025 • Durée 32:44

In this newly titled edition of On The Tee with Golf Course Architecture magazine, we're joined once again by Toby Ingleton to explore a range of exciting golf course projects—some recently completed, others underway, and a few still on the horizon—all from around the world.

We kick things off at The Wisley, where work has just been completed on the Garden 9. Toby recently visited and shares his insights on the redesign and its impact.

From there, we move to The Rock!—a brand-new 9-hole Par 3 course with big ambitions to join the ranks of the world's leading short courses. Designed by Lassi Pekka Tilander, this discussion opens up a broader chat about the growing importance and appeal of Par 3 courses.

Next, we head to a more intriguing destination: Paragraph Tabori in Georgia—a new Golfplan-designed 9-hole course that adds to the country's golfing landscape alongside Tbilisi Hills.

We also take a brief look at Shura Links in Saudi Arabia, OCM's new design contract at Grange West in Adelaide, and finish with the incredible Rodeo Dunes in Colorado—possibly the next big golf destination!

🎥 Don't miss the Skratch video that tells the story behind Rodeo Dunes.

mardi 1 juillet 2025 • Durée 56:01

In this insightful episode, we're joined by Kate Torgersen and Monina Gilbey of Torgersen Gilbey, who share how their combined expertise in environmental planning and sustainability strategy led to the formation of their consultancy.

Together, they support golf clubs through environmental audits, biodiversity planning, and strategic sustainability communication. Kate breaks down what's involved in an environmental audit or vegetation management plan, and the importance of native planting for course health and playability.

Monina explains biodiversity in the golf context, and how courses can become thriving ecological spaces. The duo highlights projects underway in Australia, the wider benefits these initiatives bring beyond the course, and the importance of improving how golf communicates its sustainability efforts.

Tripp Davis, Tripp Davis & Associates The Greenprint Episode 6

vendredi 6 juin 2025 • Durée 01:21:15

Leighton and Adam Lawrence of Golf Course Architecture Magazine and Oxford Golf Consulting lead episode 6 of The The Greenprint where they are joined by Tripp Davis.

Tripp Davis is a highly respected American golf course architect and the founder of Tripp Davis and Associates (TDA), a firm he established in 1994. With a unique blend of competitive golfing experience and academic training in landscape architecture, Davis has become renowned for his strategic and environmentally conscious course designs.

Having been a three-time American Junior Golf Association All-American and student of the University of Oklahoma, Tripp attempted professional golf briefly before pursuing his interest in Golf Course Design.

Tripp's philosophy emphasises strategic play and environmental harmony. The team works on a limited number of projects to ensure quality and attention to detail. Davis's designs often incorporate natural land features, aiming to create courses that are both challenging and enjoyable for players of all skill levels.

In terms of design philosophy, the conversation explores the difference between the design and build method versus the more design-led construction style, as well as grass types and their role in creating firmer conditions.

We then dive into a couple of Tripp's projects, including Black Diamond Ranch's Ranch Course in Lecanto Florida. This is an interesting part of Florida, with good topography and sandy soils. Leighton played The Ranch course in February and was really impressed with the recent renovation, which included a complete re-grassing and reconstruction of greens, tees and bunkers. Davis's renovation has transformed the Ranch Course into a more strategic and engaging layout, enhancing its appeal to a wide range of golfers while maintaining its natural beauty and challenging design.

There's also a look at a new project currently under construction in Athens, Georgia.

Tim Lobb, Lobb & Partners - The Greenprint Episode 4

dimanche 11 mai 2025 • Durée 01:05:42

In this episode, Leighton is joined by renowned golf course architect Tim Lobb, founder of Lobb & Partners. The conversation charts Tim's journey from his early days in Melbourne through pivotal roles at European Golf Design and Thompson, Perrett and Lobb, culminating in the launch of his own practice. Along the way, Tim shares how each phase of his career has informed his philosophy of working with the land, rather than imposing upon it.

vendredi 25 avril 2025 • Durée 01:30:26

In this episode, we're joined by golf course designer and builder Ryan Van Der Veen of Van Der Veen Designs.

Growing up in Indiana, Ryan entered the world of construction and design early on—launching his career under the legendary Pete Dye. His time with Dye laid the foundation for a hands-on, design-and-build approach that's remained with him throughout his career.

The nearly completed enhancement program at Glenelg Golf Club in South Australia, in collaboration with Neil Crafter
A new project at Mollymook Golf Club in New South Wales

Ryan brings a calm and thoughtful perspective to the craft—shaped by decades of experience and a unique blend of tradition and innovation. There are some fantastic stories in this one, especially around his early days with Pete Dye and life on the road with international projects.

The New Basingstoke Golf Course - Scott Roberts (Course Manager) and Bruce Weller (Architect)

mardi 8 avril 2025 • Durée 01:00:57

In this episode, Leighton delves into the remarkable transformation of Basingstoke Golf Club, telling the story through the evolution of the course itself. What began as an ambitious project years ago saw the club make a bold move half a mile across the M3 to Dummer Golf Club. The transition included selling the original site for development and acquiring Dummer Golf Course, all while ensuring that the members always had a course to play on.

Scott and Bruce join Leighton to discuss the early challenges of this endeavor, including navigating planning hurdles, managing water resources, and crafting layouts that allowed for continuous play. They also talk about how they managed to preserve key elements of the old Dummer course while giving it a major facelift, modernizing the chalk downland course with dramatic improvements. The greens, in particular, stand out with their impressive movement and challenging pin placements.

Now entering its first full season, Scott is focused on making sure the course plays hard, fast, and in top condition.

This episode highlights how innovation, drive, and a clear vision can not only reshape a golf course but also secure the future of a beloved, long-standing club.

Bringing a Golf Course Back to Life - Lucy Sellick, Raglan Golf Club

Épisode 1

mardi 11 mars 2025 • Durée 53:15

Welcome to the first episode of The Greenprint! In this inaugural episode, we dive into the incredible story of Raglan Golf Club in Monmouthshire, Wales—a course that has truly risen from the ashes. After closing its doors following the COVID-19 pandemic, Raglan was purchased in early 2024 by a group hailing from Monmouthshire, and its rebirth is nothing short of inspiring.

Lucy, the driving force behind the revitalization, shares her journey in transforming the course from a state of disrepair to one that's ready to open in early April. From rebuilding greens to adding new tees and bunkers, Lucy has tackled every challenge, including restoring irrigation systems and improving drainage. She also discusses the agronomic hurdles of reopening a course after being closed for over two years, including selecting the right grass species for greens that were initially sown with fescue.

This episode is a fascinating look at how a struggling venue can be brought back to life with the right vision, support, and the dedication of passionate people. Tune in for an encouraging and insightful story of revival and community focus.
