Today's episode is a conversation about Whistling Straits between myself and Garrett Morrison, our managing editor. So we talk all things Whistling Straits, the venue for this year's Ryder Cup and we get in the nitty gritty there and it's a good conversation later this week we will have another episode that is a five things episode where I will host a colleague in the media space.

I think I've got an Irishman coming on. He can be a little surly and hasn't given me really a straight answer. So I think I have an Irishman coming on. He's been on the pod before. We'll see if he if he follows through with that.

But without further ado, here is Garrett and I's conversation on Whistling Straits.

Bright egg, bright egg, bright egg lie. I'm about ready to run off the golf course.

Alright, so Andy, you were just at Whistling Straits.

Yes, yeah, it was their quick trip just just there to shoot the course. I didn't didn't play but walked walk both nines and good to see it again. I've been there a few times in my lifetime. So, you know, it's always been a big big draw to grown up. I mean, Kohler, the Kohler resort was like the destination place.

The one that you always dreamed of going to when you're a kid because it was like the nice, the real nice course being a Midwestern like that was the resort of the Midwest growing up.

Chicago's Riviera. Maybe you could call it.

I don't know. I mean, you got you got Lake, you got Lake, you got Lake Geneva area is a big Chicago and then you got the Buffalo's like the Hamptons of Chicago and but Kohler was this just like five star locks resort that popped up and you know, from a golfing sense, you know, they were hosting at Black Wolf.

They hosted that US women's open in 97 and then also in the PGA started to go to Whistling Straits after they built that and it was, you know, that was right when I was getting into golf those years and you know, it became an aspirational place.

So it's a, you know, for any kid that grew up in the Midwest around my age, it's a place that you always dreamed of playing and I've been lucky to get out there a few times in my lifetime and you know, I still have pictures from the first time I went out there with my family and you know,

I think like, you know, when you look at the whole place architecturally, there's some things that you him and Ha about, but at the same time, this is a place historically that will always be remembered for putting Wisconsin on the map as a golf tourism place and really starting this

Renaissance of golf tourism in the Midwest in the upper Midwest specifically with with obviously it and now their sand Valley and Aaron Hills all the state.

So, you know, Whistley Straits, but more so Black Wolf Run was the start of that with with Herb Kohler's kind of vision for this place.
