Summary

Andy Johnson and Garrett Morrison open up the mailbag and answer golf architecture questions from Fried Egg Golf Club members. The two discuss the Gil Hanse-designed Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco following the KPMG Women's PGA in June and the impact of "fairness" on designs hosting major championships. Andy and Garrett also talk through factors such as spectator experience and other limitations that architects have when building championship venues. They then discuss the influence of Scottish courses on American architects who built some of the best courses in the United States after spending time overseas. To wrap things up, Andy and Garrett look ahead at future major championship venues on the men's side, sharing some insights on future PGA Championship host sites in particular.
