About this episode
Will Doctor is joined by Powell Arms, Chairman of the Heritage Committee at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, for an in-depth look at one of America’s most historic golf institutions. They discuss the legacy of the club’s three golf courses—Wissahickon, Militia Hill, and the nine-hole St. Martins layout, which hosted two U.S. Opens over a century ago. Powell shares how the club came to host this year’s Truist Championship on the restored Tillinghast-designed Wissahickon Course, and what it meant to bring the PGA Tour back to such a storied venue. The conversation also dives into the influence of legendary architects like A.W. Tillinghast and George Thomas, the vision of the Houston family, and the enduring charm of the St. Martins Course.
