NLU Podcast, Episode 793: Genesis Happy Hour

Soly and TC recently took a road trip north through the Carolinas to play several courses that have piqued our interest. We began in South Carolina with The Tree Farm, Camden Country Club (25:00), and Broomsedge (33:45) before finishing our trip in Pinehurst with The Donnybrook - an NLU Nest event - that provided us with a look at Tom Doak's Pinehurst #10 (49:30) and Pinehurst #2 (1:05:30).
