Fun couple of days last week in Mississippi w/ my friend @SBCharlton of @RTJ2GolfDesign, visiting clients for 2 collabs between our firms, then took a spin around @ms_refuge to see my renovation from 2018. Refuge looks great--greens are pure! More on the two collabs coming soon!

Arrived at @sagamore_club Monday at 11am to a chilly 58°--nearly 20° lower than when I got in the car earlier, just two hours south! @purdueturfy and crew are enjoying the temps (and fruits of their labor). Our short game complex turned out great and the baby bent is growing!

As golf faces renewed scrutiny over its environmental impact, a new book argues that the game’s footprint is not only defensible but also measurable, beneficial and often misunderstood. golfcourseindustry.com/news/…

Beautiful morning from Marietta CC!

Kicking off construction on an all new golf only private club along side @QuitnoGolf next week. If I told you how good the site is and how great the course will be, you wouldn't believe me. Great land. Great owners. Great team. Can't wait! Stay tuned...

Three nines. Three distinct experiences. One spectacular backdrop. Forbes recently spotlighted Portugal’s Palmares Golf Resort, where Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed 27 holes across dramatically varied terrain overlooking the Atlantic. Its three nine-hole loops allow for different 18-hole combinations, creating variety for returning golfers while responding to the character of the land. It’s an approach that reflects something RTJ II explores in its work around the world: golf architecture that is strategic, flexible and tailored to how the game is played and enjoyed. forbes.com/sites/break80/202…

Renovation of @olympiahills18 near San Antonio is a wrap! Bunkers, tees & irrigation. Great team effort here, including Universal City mgr Kim Turner, super Jeremy Laak, pro Sal Garcia, @ian_hwilliams, and the course staff! Big thanks to @verdesportsco--on time and UNDER budget!

We begin the incredible restoration of the original green edges, that were lost over time, at the 1898 Midlothian CC (IL) this month. I am privileged to be working with the club's passionate golf course superintendent Mitchell Linnerud. @MidwestAGCS @GCSAA @MGCSA @ASGCA

I finally made it to the white hat club. I had to borrow the gear to do it. Central Michigan University is getting a new practice facility.

1/2: Kicked off our short game facility project yesterday at The Sagamore Club in Noblesville, Indiana. Laid out the three greens to be built and the crew started stripping sod from the old facility and demo of the old bunkers. This is going to be a great addition for members!

Designed by the father-son duo of Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Robert Trent Jones Jr., Sedona, Arizona’s Oakcreek Country Club features beautiful bunkering, three lakes, classic doglegs and absolutely stunning views of the chiseled, fire-red mountains that frame the property. As Jones Sr. said, "Every hole must be a hard par and an easy bogey."

Finished the initial shaping today on the 440 yard par four 10th hole at the new Crosswinds Golf Course in North Dakota @ASGCA @DuininckGolf @MnGCSA @sdgcsa @WGCSA @cactusandpine @gcamagazine
