Tony Dear has been friends with Scottish golf course architect David McLay-Kidd for many years, and recently joined the designer of Bandon Dunes and Mammoth Dunes on a trip to preview McLay-Kidd’s new short course at Washington’s Gamble Sands.

Digital Editor Al Lunsford chats with Dear about his storybook golf weekend on this episode of the LINKS Golf Podcast.
