It’s here. It’s finally here. The U.S. Open at Winged Foot has arrived, and the hype is REAL about the course condition, the difficulty, the “classic” U.S. Open expectations. We speak with Jason Gore (24:16), the USGA’s senior director of player relations & a member of the setup team, about the course, what the players can expect, and how he manages those expectations. Then we’re joined by Winged Foot’s head superintendent, Steve Rabideau (73:42), to dive deeper into this iconic venue, its famous greens, and the stellar team and commitment it takes to keep Winged Foot’s 36 holes in championship condition day in and day out!You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.
