The Tie Podcast

The Cong! Today we're here to take a peek behind the curtain at Congaree to not talk necessarily about the golf tournament from the past week, but the club in general. What it's like to play there, the food game, the vibe of the club, the architecture, and a whole lot more. This is an awesome place that it's been really neat to see allow others to get a look at by hosting a PGA Tour event. If you ever get a chance to go, do it. But until then, enjoy our thoughts on Congaree!

Cheers,

Who doesn't love a little house theory? If you are new to this concept, you'll have to tune in to find out what we mean! 

Today we have the privilege of applying the concept of house theory to two of the United States' absolute best tracks. These are two courses that have an immaculate sense of place, and at the end of the day if I were to sum up house theory into a few words, it would be exactly those, sense of place. Although they may not seem very similar, there is more that overlaps between these two resolute golf clubs than you may think so give this episode to whirl to find out why we think so.

Please let us know what you think of the episode and don't be afraid to get involved with our partners and social channels at the links below!

A back nine battle, a two-horse race all week, great major duels take different forms, but they're all memorable. Whether its Tiger and Rocco at Torrey, Phil and Stenson at Troon, or the duel in the sun, we all remember those weekends where we just couldn't take our attention away from the tournament going on because of the battle going on. 

Today we're breaking down a few of our most memorable major weekends and hope this episode takes you down memory lane for some of your favorite weekends. Enjoy!


Cheers,

Hello all! Excited to chat with Kyle Franz and Mike Koprowski today about Broomsedge Golf Club and the architectural experiences or themes that will carry into this project. 

Kyle is now a major artery in the industry, restoring important work and building his own, but he was involved in the courses we all consider as great work. Amongst others, he was there at Barnbougle, at Pacific Dunes, The Rio Olympic Course, and Cabot Links before putting his fingerprint on Mid Pines, Pine Needles, Southern Pines, Country Club of Charleston, and more. ((We're also so excited to see Lookout Mountain))

Mike has been working with Kyle since the project at Southern Pines began. As a Pinehurst native, he showed interest in the restoration, and has brought a unique skillset to the table ever since. The two have been working together on plans for Broomsedge Golf Club, a site found and purchased by Mike near Columbia, South Carolina. 

It’s a fresh canvas with Kyle’s name on it. We’re looking forward to seeing it come together. 

Enjoy the chat!

Cheers,

Stephens Cup preview pod, let's run it. 

Walker is on site this week to bring us a boots on the ground view into what is rapidly becoming one of the cooler college golf events out there. Hosted by the Stephens family for the second year now, the Stephens Cup is a stroke play and match play event with 7 of the top men's and women's teams in the country as well as a few individuals from HBCU's and Service academies. Super cool.

Very excited for this event and to watch the coverage on golf channel. Be sure to tune in this week from 3-6pm ET to see the excitement of college golf and the incredible Seminole Golf Club in action!

Cheers,

Stephen Malbon and his wife Erica Founded https://malbongolf.com in 2017. A marriage followed by a pregnancy turned Stephen away away from his wild days, and forced him to confront the game he abandoned as a teenager. 

Years later, it became a central focus. Between the bonds made with the tight-knit LA community, a reclaimed obsession with golf, and the fresh perspective of being a parent, it was clear why Malbon is what it is today. 

Malbon certainly challenges traditional themes in the game many of us know today. During this interview, you'll get to hear Stephen himself explain his path, his mission, and his "Tie" to the game of golf. 

Cheers,

Well, it may be the very beginning of the 2022-2023 season, but we are ready to start getting fired up for next year's major season so today we are bringing to you our picks for next year's majors before most any of these guys will have hit a shot this season.

DERT first, of course, and then we get into talking about next year's majors and finish with a little "Cat chat" because who doesn't love to talk about the cat.

Thanks for being here as always. Lots of good stuff to come at The Tie.

Cheers,

This was a blast of an episode. Starvin Marvin is a regular guy who is obsessed with golf, food, and just having a good time, just like many members of The Tie community.

Marvin lives in Darien, CT with his family and started his instagram and TikTok just earlier this year but has quickly gained quite a following and is improving at a rapid pace. Not only will you learn a thing or two about cooking and eating from Marvin, but I promise you he will give you a laugh by following his content.

Marvin and I talked today about how he got into golf and cooking. What his life is like any from his instagram presence. Traveling for golf. Great restaurants he enjoys. And much much more.

Hope you all enjoy this conversation and check out  The Tie, our partners, and Marvin at the links below!

Cheers,

The kids are good. Its that simple.

Today we dive into the President's Cup and how it has come to be that the United States is winning these team competitions with such ease. Spoiler, the rest of the world isn't necessarily getting worse, the USA is just getting better. We have access to a pool of players from the NCAA that are pushing the game domestically to new heights with so many early to mid twenty year olds showing up on tour ready to win a soon as they earn their playing rights and there is only reason so believe this phenomenon will grow more and more.

Tune into today's episode to hear about this and more as I break down the history of the president's cup, how we got to where we are today, why we are where we are today, and a few thoughts on where we can go in the future to make this event more competitive.

Cheers,

You probably know Cole Hammer as the kid that played in the 2015 US Open at age 15, a 2-time Walker Cupper, and NCAA Champion, Western Amateur Champion, and much more. What you probably didn't know is that he has a deep passion for and knowledge of golf course architecture that he enjoys alongside his competitive endeavors.

It's always fun to get a pro talking about something within the game that they are passionate about that we wouldn't necessarily know at face value, and that is exactly what we are having Cole on to discuss today. We talk DERT first, of course, before getting into a chat about how he became interested in GCA, some of his favorite courses from a competitive standpoint  as well as an architectural standpoint. Some of his opinions on the future of the game and how architecture applies to that at the highest levels, and much more.

We hope you all enjoy this chat and as always we truly appreciate your support!

Cheers,
