35: Architect Rees Jones

About this episode

What do Bethpage Black, Torrey Pines, and East Lake all have in common? Besides hosting some of the most memorable events in pro golf, they all have the character they do today because of Rees Jones.

A prolific course architect with a legendary father, Rees walks us through his life growing up around Robert Trent Jones. He discusses his work on Bethpage Black, and how two decades of changes there lead us to the course that will host this fall's Ryder Cup.

Josh Sens presses Rees on the changes he's seen in the last 80 years he's spent on golf courses, and where the industry goes from here. Enjoy!
