Absolutely spot on. When Angeles National in LA built their clubhouse they had to more than double their green fees. It's not on my rotation now. I had the same reaction to the St. Patrick's setup--It's great they're all about golf. The only place that I've seen the new clubhouse construction work is Old Machrihanish. They lost their original to fire, but to make it work they serve both lunch and dinner, and their restaurant is one of the top 2 in the area so it's always busy.
Really interesting to hear about the different clubs - Angeles National and Machrihanish. Very keen to play Machrihanish, I’ll have to go in for lunch and dinner when I’m there!
The Dedman foundation offers many undergraduate and graduate scholarships. My son was awarded one to attend the University of Texas. We are grateful for his philanthropy.
Great yarn. We're gifted with many public golf courses in Australia & there is at least a goat track to have a belt at in most towns. I've heard it said that the reason there's so many courses in the cities, like Sydney, is because most public courses are built on top of old suburban tips! Makes sense, all the signs saying don't drink the pond water 😆 Oz didn't have ONE player that made the cut in '26 in the US Open! 🤷🏌 1st time in 67 years.
Great article tied so closely to the courses we love but know so little about at times. We see all the pictures and here the main bullet points of the history on TV when watching the rounds but you gave us the grassroots info. Thank you for taking the time to write that article and looking forward to reading more.
Great read and a really interesting angle
