Über diese Folge

<p>Today, we kick off a three-part documentary series called “The Open Doctor and His Monster,” in which we chronicle the Robert Trent Jones era in golf: its origins in Rochester, New York; its breakthrough moment at Oakland Hills Country Club; and its recent fall from favor. In this first installment, we tell the story of how Robert Trent Jones rose from a blue-collar background to the status of “Open Doctor”—and how, in the process, he came up with ideas that would dominate golf course design for decades.</p> <p>Our guests in this episode are Robert Trent Jones Jr., James Hansen, Richard Howting, and Bradley Klein (<a href="https://twitter.com/BradleySKlein">@BradleySKlein</a>). </p> <p>Further reading:</p> <ul> <li>James Hansen, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Difficult-Par-Robert-Making-Modern/dp/B01LTHXK7W"><em>A Difficult Par: Robert Trent Jones Sr. and the Making of Modern Golf</em></a> </li> <li>Bradley Klein, <a href="http://www.discoveringdonaldross.com/"><em>Discovering Donald Ross: The Architect and His Golf Courses</em></a> </li> </ul><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
