About this episode
Andy Johnson chats with Designing Golf host Garrett Morrison about two golf courses hosting team events in September - Cypress Point and Bethpage Black. First, the two recap the Walker Cup at Cypress Point Club, with Andy sharing on-site observations and Garrett commenting on what he saw on the broadcast from home. They commend Golf Channel's coverage of the event and use of drones to show off the unique aesthetics of the course's ocean holes. Andy and Garrett also discuss how the course held up against elite players using modern technology, especially in a match play format. They then transition to an early preview of Bethpage Black, host of the 2025 Ryder Cup later this month. Garrett shares his takeaways from his first visit to the course and highlights some holes to watch as the Americans look to win back the Ryder Cup from Team Europe.
