The East Potomac mess is so unnecessary. Hopefully the gravitas of Woods and Ridley can lead to a course-correction. quadrilateral.substack.com/p/a-travis-t...

Mike and Josh attended the recent annual gathering of the MacKenzie Society at Jockey Club in Buenos Aires. A great opportunity to enjoy the two wonderful courses and their wild green complexes, meet with friends old and new, and discuss future renovations.

First Look at 7 Mile Beach Golf Course: Tasmania’s New Coastal Masterpiece Previewing Tasmania’s newest golfing gem, 7 Mile Beach, ahead of its official opening—and it’s every bit as spectacular as you’ve heard. I was fortunate enough to get a sneak preview of the Mike Clayton and Mike…

A few photos from a preview play day at 7 Mile Beach Golf last week. Spectacular golf course. Officially opens on Dec 4. #7milegplf #golftasmania

Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

In 1932, Colt wrote "I feel sure that we ought to have one of the best 18 hole courses on the Continent". His prediction was spot on. Utrechtse De Pan is one of his best works. A course walk followed by dinner in the beautiful thatched clubhouse. Lekker. @ivgd1.bsky.social

Not the worst view from a 17th green. Kauri Cliffs. NZ.

Many thanks to @pitchmarks.bsky.social for this beautiful shot of his opponent extracting himself from the restored bunker to the left of New Zealand's 9th green.

‘Toughest Doesn’t Mean The Greatest’ This is Mike Clayton’s first article he wrote on golf course architecture, from 1991.

"... Congrats to @ivgd1.bsky.social who has been working here since 2002 ... Everything is dialled in, the fairways are suitably wide, the pines are back from play, and the heather has regenerated ... a supremely idyllic place to enjoy a game." Ran Morrissett, GolfClubAtlas, on Eindhovensche

To those in favour of a free drop from a fairway divot….does that mean a great lie far into the rough must be declined, the ball moved into a more “deserving” spot? Just asking 🤷‍♂️

I have to admit to being slightly obsessed by the views of London that have appeared at The Addington post woodland management. It was a bleakish morning for golf but a shaft of light lit up Canary Wharf as we approached the 1st green.

Last year, we were commissioned to build a 6 green "course" for a client in Central Victoria. The mandate was to create multiple routing options from each tee. @mikeclaytongolf.bsky.social : "Lukas Michel built greens that take shots from a variety of angles. It's immense fun finding new options."
