Descripción

What’s the greatest American golf course? It’s complicated — but we’ve got the right guy to take us down a wandering path to an answer. Tom Coyne has walked all of Ireland. He’s criss-crossed the United States. Most recently, he bought a failing golf course in Upstate New York. And he’s written books about all of the above. So he can speak to the ingredients of a “great” golf course, he knows the difference between great golf in the U.K. and Ireland versus great golf in the U.S. — and now he knows the nuts and bolts of owning and operating a course himself. Plus Dylan digs up an old email he sent Tom before embarking on an American golfing road trip of his own, and a response that changed his writing career. Coyne takes us through the five courses he’d play if he only had five rounds left, the bucket-list course he hasn’t yet ticked off and, at last, his pick for Greatest American Golf Course.

10 Secrets from a Retiring Pro: What's the PGA Tour Really Like?

Martin Trainer is retiring from professional golf. He joins Dylan Dethier to tackle a question — what did he learn playing pro golf? — and runs through 10 answers (plus some more) as he pulls back the curtain on the myths and realities of the PGA Tour. This is the stuff you don't get from a Sunday broadcast or a simple player profile. So what's it like staring down Rory McIlroy in a playoff? What's it like missing a whole bunch of cuts in a row? What single course on Tour REALLY stands out? Which stop has the best food? What will he miss about being a pro and what's he happy to leave behind? Trainer's decade-plus as a pro included plenty of highs and lows. And now: What's next? Trainer is planning a unique post-Tour path, but thinks his golf experience will help with his next chapter.
