No Laying Up - Golf Podcast · 1166: 12 US Women’s Open Storylines · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

Yeah, so I started playing golf when I was 15, played college golf at the University of Oregon.

I walked on and earned a full ride my junior year, had a short stint playing professional golf, then went on to become a college golf coach at the University of Oregon.

Then I took a turn and came to the USGA, started golfing.

in the rules department and moved over into championships in 2012.

I've played in eight or nine USGA championships, including a women's open back in 99.

I was fortunate to play a practice round with Julie Inkster, Dottie Pepper, and Nancy Lopez.

That was at Old Waverly.

Some may recall Julie Inkster won that women's open with a record score, and it was certainly a highlight of my career.

I'll say that.

So I've been in this role overseeing the Women's Open setup since 2017.

So how many years was that?

I stopped counting.

Exactly, with COVID in there.

Well, let's face it.

We are known for wanting to produce the toughest test that players see all year, but also a fair test of golf.

We want to test their shot making, their mental and physical resolve, as well as their course management.

We want to get all their clubs dirty, but yet...

set of the golf course as the architect intended it to be played and we have this wonderful opportunity to do so with this George Thomas design gear as well.

I, you know, I think it, yeah, I believe it comes with some experience and obviously early on in my career and still to this day, leaning on fellow colleagues that do the same thing that I do, you know, being in and around those individuals, being a part of those conversations, experiencing it, being on putting greens to know what is fair and what a

that particular demographic is capable of is really important in putting that test together.
