Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 487 - Global Golf Adventures & Rankings with Jason Deegan and Jason Lusk

We welcome two of the most well-traveled and respected voices in golf media: Jason Deegan, Managing Editor at GolfPass.com, and Jason Lusk, Director of Travel and Rankings for Golfweek. Together, they have played, photographed, and reviewed thousands of courses across the globe, bringing an insider's perspective on the world's top golf destinations and what makes each course memorable.

In this episode, host Bill Hobson sits down with Deegan and Lusk during a rain delay at Cragun's Resort in Brainerd, Minnesota, where Tom Lehman recently completed a 27-hole redesign. The conversation dives into the stories behind their extensive travels, how golf course rankings are created, and why certain destinations consistently stand out to both casual players and golf purists.

Deegan shares how his Michigan roots and early career, including coverage of major events like the Ryder Cup and PGA Championship, propelled him into a global golf career. He opens up about "pinch-me" moments—like standing on a tee box in New Zealand—and the joy of uncovering the artistic elements of golf course design around the world. Lusk, with his deep experience in both editorial design and travel coverage, reveals the behind-the-scenes work that goes into Golfweek's trusted rankings. He also recounts humorous and jaw-dropping travel stories, from playing unexpected pro-ams alongside Fred Funk and Bernhard Langer to battling travel nightmares with lost clubs and endless airport delays.

The episode also highlights the importance of authenticity in course rankings. Both guests emphasize that their lists are based on genuine golfer reviews or expert panels, not advertising dollars, and why rankings should be seen as conversation starters rather than absolute truths.

Deegan and Lusk reflect on the future of golf travel and share their personal dream destinations. Whether it's the rugged charm of Ireland, the pristine beauty of New Zealand, or iconic American destinations like Bandon Dunes, these experts know where the next great golf adventure awaits.

Listeners will come away with:

• Insights on how golf media has evolved from print to digital.

• Travel tips and hacks learned from decades on the road.

• A better understanding of what makes a golf course truly exceptional.

• Inspiration to explore both local gems and bucket-list destinations.

Whether you're a seasoned golfer planning your next trip or simply love the stories that make golf unique, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and discover the passion, humor, and expertise that Deegan and Lusk bring to every fairway they visit.
