All right, we're back for another edition of the Friday

I got podcast.

We've got a second one in the last seven days here.

This time, we're going to change speeds and go into one of my favorite realms of golf

course architecture and with us as a guest we've got Rob Collins who's a golf course architect based out of Chattanooga, Tennessee.

And he and his partner, Ted King, are responsible for the nine-hole masterpiece, Sweetens Cove.

Sweetens Cove has a cult-like following

amongst architecture fans,

and we're really happy to have Rob on.

Great to be here. I'm thrilled to be on the podcast.

I appreciate it yet.

Yeah, definitely.

I mean, it's, uh, I got the chance to play Sweetens Cove in May of this year.

I was down in Knoxville for a wedding and

I saw that Chattanooga was only about two hours away and knew I could squeeze in nine holes if I got

on the road at about 545 and got it done and it was a experience that kind of changes the way you think about golf.

I think you know you look at a lot of different people and their opinion on it and the you know the resounding opinion seems to be

that it it changes the way that you think about golf and you know one of the worst

things about Sweden's Cove is generally leaving.

So, congrats, I've done a great job there.

It's been fun to kind of watch all these new people's opinion

and I'm sure you get the same satisfaction.
