I told them straight drop this and zip lock that right on my waistline is why I kept that strap. I remember nights. I didn't remember nights. I damn nil went crazy. I had to get it right.

Now I'm your favorite rapper's favorite rapper.

Hey, now I'm your favorite trapper's favorite trapper.

The absolute truth.

Yeah, no joke.

Who me I merge from the track.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the Trap Draw.

Randy here riding solo today. My guest is Keith Cutton, golf course architect and the

main reason for our chat today is his book, The Evolution of Golf Course Design, was my

selection for the December reading room and I wanted to talk to Keith not only

about the book but how the book came into being and

get his thoughts on a wide range of subjects around golf course architecture.

I will say up front I am certainly a lay person when it

comes to golf course architecture and I that is one of the things I like most about Keith's book is it's very approachable and digestible for people that, you know, have a curiosity like myself, but perhaps aren't as well versed on the nuances of golf course architecture.

So without further ado, Keith, good morning. How are you?

Morning Randy, I'm great. Thanks for having me on today.

Yeah, yeah, I appreciate the time.

Before we dive into your book, can you give me a quick overview on your career in the golf course architecture industry
