Summary

705: George Kelly is the CEO of Greenway Golf, a company that specializes in golf course maintenance, management, restoration, and construction. In this conversation we talk about the variety of grasses used on courses and why. We also learn about two of their course projects in Northern California that are special and fun (if you can get on the property). The exclusive Mayacama in the wine country area of Sonoma County, and their Australian Links style course designed by Rees Jones, Corica Park in Alameda. Our next giveaway is for a dozen premium used golf balls of your choice from TWOGUYSWITHGOLFBALLS.com. Enter at GolfSmarter.com/giveaway2019. Deadline for entry is September 9, 2019 Midnight PDT. Fred reads a listener email thanking Josh Zander for his incredible instruction that was featured on episode 607, published on 18October, 2017. This week on Golf Smarter Mulligans, #21, we meet the founder of Bird Golf Academy, Jay Ewing. In an earlier episode of Mulligans we met Carey Mumford and heard about his Clear Key System. Bird Golf Academy was where we first met Carey, and they’re still big fans of his mental game approach to better golf. Jay provides insights to Carey’s work and also shares a couple of great tips for better putting and golf.
