The Tribute is based on Davis' favorite holes and strategic features of the great courses of Scotland.

A greater understanding and appreciation of the strategy of playing golf will not only help golfers score better, it will help them better enjoy the game and the diverse courses we have to play." In addition to discussing two Par 5s (#3, & #15) and a Par 4 (#7), topics include: - His upcoming book - Using bunkers as visual elements and strategic features - Multiple ways to play a hole - Despite being outside Dallas, the similar terrain features of Scottish courses You can see the specific course features as Davis explains while viewing on Google Earth.

Jim Fazio, legendary course designer on The Country Club of Oxford, a new project

Tue, 04 Apr 2006 15:46:54 -0700

This in-depth interview was conducted for a video we were hired to produce for The Country Club of Oxford, in Oxford, Mississippi. The job was to create a short Membership Recruitment sales piece that featured Fazio on his design, a Troon Golf executive on how they will manage the facility and the two owners of the course. Because Jim agreed to let us use this interview for a GOLF SMARTER podcast, we got into depth about some topics that clearly wouldn't be necessary for the video, but was consistent with the show's topic. We were lucky to get inside the head of a design legend. For me, it felt like a graduate seminar on golf course design and we had a lecturer who is an industry icon. You can see the finished video at thecountryclubofoxford.com
