In this episode of the “TeeBox Chatter Golf Podcast” I am joined by two special guests. The first guest is a renowned golf course architect who has built and remodeled golf courses all over the world. From “The Great White North” (Canada) to the Middle East. Chances are that if you’ve played golf in Florida, you’ve played a Ron Garl design.
