22:50 Grand Rapids is great, the Devries trail they're talking about it The Mines, Diamond Springs, and Pilgrims Run. Add in Angels Crossing in Kalamazoo and/or Stoatin Brae at Gull Lake, and you could even stop by Kaufman (local yokel muni in Grand Rapids), and you would have a great time at very affordable quality public courses.
A neat way to get into course architecture is via the PGA 2K video game series. The games have a course designer in them, allowing you to build pretty much any kind of course you want, and then virtually play it and share it with everyone else who plays the game. Along with reading Anatomy of a Golf Course by Tom Doak, that's how I really started to get into the hows and whys of course architecture.
1) I'd love to learn more about Solina! I spoke with George about it a bit on the podcast earlier this year, but clearly there's more to discuss. Wes and George are great guys and longtime friends of the program. 2) I would get *slaughtered* by Grant unless I got like 9-12 strokes.
@garrettmorrison1455 let's leave slauthering to Rahms and Brysons like in many videos we've seen 😀 You should rather talk on architecture while playing, that it's more than spyglass, pinehurst or florida. Grant appreciates good golf courses and can listen. Plus I think there would be good vibes between you. Just leaving it as idea. Thanks for great work.
Not the sexiest part of the country, but I’d be interested in your ideas on some of the public golf courses in NE Ohio. In particular, the Donald Ross designed 36 holes at Mill Creek Metropolitan Park in Boardman/Youngstown, Ohio. Some nice ones in Cleveland (Manakiki) and the Akron area as well. Prices overall are much nicer than my current residence in Alexandria, VA.
Poa makes Bandon just another excellent, expensive West Coast resort. They HAVE to re-grass them to maintain true links. Having played Pebble...poa is not links golf.

PGA 2K is a great shout! I bet that's how a lot of people (more technically informed/capable than I am) get interested in golf course design.
I'd love to see two collaborations :
1) Fried Egg with BryanBros on Solina GC
2) Garrett with Grant Horvat on course picked by Garrett

Dukes been redone by Rees & it’s great
I’m watching the Australian open …. Every time Jason Day is about to tee off I play “day-man” on my phone …. The clubhouse is pissed 😠
