Colorado Springs: where the air is thin, the vibes are high, and the golf balls fly farther!

In this tribute to golf in the Springs, we're teeing up trivia, local history, and an unforgettable interview with 2025 U.S. Senior Open Championship Manager, Keri Hardin. Whether you're a hardcore golfer or just crush it at mini golf, you’ll love the behind-the-scenes scoop on why this isn’t just any tournament coming to The Broadmoor—it’s golf’s toughest test on one of the most scenic courses in America.

Keri spills championship secrets you won’t hear anywhere else—from players traveling with their own mattresses (seriously!) to altitude training tips, family-friendly fun, unexpected course quirks, and even a bear mitigation plan.

Golf fan or not, this episode is your all-access pass to one of the biggest events hitting Colorado Springs this summer. Promo codes? Wild rituals? Food trucks? We've got it all.
