Summary
The guys are joined for a very rare and unique chat with Winged Foot superintendent Steve Rabideau, who's preparing the course for its 6th US Open in 2020. Steve details how Gil Hanse is helping restore the club's greens to their 1920s contours, why he LOVES taking down trees, and how he expects Winged Foot to hold up in 2020. Steve also tells us the most annoying things for a superintendent amateur golfers do on the course and tells us why aerations are necessary. Riggs and Trent also breakdown Tiger's new “stinger” video, JT's win in Korea, and the proper etiquette on returning or leaving driving range buckets!
