Summary
A fun change to this week's podcast, as Shane traveled to Scotland last month to check out a true links course that is getting a makeover. The Links Golf Club recently purchased Spey Bay and hired the DeVries Designs team to do a full renovation of the property.
Mike DeVries, Michael Clayton, and Frank Pont join Shane from Spey Bay to chat about the job, the architectural excitement of getting a chance to work on a true piece of links land in Scotland, and plenty more. Plus, Jim Daily and Adam Besvinick from Links Golf Club talk about how you, ya know, buy a freakin' golf course in Scotland.
You'll enjoy the Q&A plus the audience participation.
A big, big thanks to the Links Golf Club for the opportunity to be a part of this, and a huge thanks to Fyfe Golf for helping capture the audio from the Q&A. They did the hard work so that could be turned into a podcast!
