For the first episode of our Golf Architecture 101 series, Garrett Morrison talks Fried Egg Golf producer PJ Clark through the so-called “schools”—that is, philosophies—of golf course design: penal, strategic, and heroic. If you want to learn more about golf architecture, this is a good place to start.

  1. Perhaps a few more examples of courses and designers that embody particular philosophies. Would need to be courses many listeners have seen on tour or played at popular resorts, etc.

  2. I'd love a potted history of key architects and architecture trends. Maybe also a separte pod going through the most prolific templates and what effect each template is trying to create. Looking forward to more of these!

  3. The fact that PJ sees a 400 yard par 4 as hitting 6 iron-6 iron? …is everything that needs to be said about the problem with modern technology.
