Welcome back to another edition of the Friday

podcast. I apologize to everyone for the long hiatus from this

podcast. This fall has been very busy with the launch of the shotgun start and then a lot of other

stuff including tons of travel so it's just been a little bit of a break but we're going to be coming back strong now with at least hopefully

weekly podcast for the remainder of 2018 and then 2019 also so expect a lot of new interviews to come up in the

near future today I'm really excited for the first part of a two-part podcast with Colin Sheehan.

Most of you probably won't recognize his name.

He is the Yale Golf Coach and a former prolific golf writer. He played at Yale also.

He wrote for a golf magazine in the late 90s and early 2000s and also published a book

about the US amateur in the mid 2000s.

So Colin is a great golf course architecture mind,

college golf coach, and also a founder of the Outpost Club.

So we had a great discussion. It's going to be a two-part

podcast and part one focuses in on the Yale Golf Team, his his coaching there, the Yale Golf Course, and then Amateur Golf and the USAM.

So I hope you guys enjoy Part 2 will be up either later this week or for Monday of next week.

Without further ado here is Colin.

I'm Missed Green for example. I'm already upset. When I find my ball in the bunker,

I'm really upset and when I find my ball in the bunker I'm really upset and when I find my ball in a fried egg fried egg fried egg fried egg fried egg fried egg fried egg lie I'm about ready to run off the golf course. So, You graduated Yale in 1997. How would you say that college golf has changed since then?

Well, I call instead of athletic probably getting more serious taking

taking the lead of revenue generating sports.

We're very lucky in the Ivy League. We're not part of the machine that is the NCAA.

We're in the we're in the we're amateur athletics and we remain so. In some ways we're cultured of D3 where the kids pay to come to school.
