 Is it possible to bring Republicans and Democrats together? Maybe. Rob Ellsworth and Matt Parker grew up in the upper Ohio Valley playing junior golf, and today they all work in politics. Rob is a Democratic lobbyist, and Matt is a Republican strategist. While they rarely see eye-to-eye on politics, they wholeheartedly agree that golf is the greatest game ever invented and are passionate about expanding it.Reach Right Network Golf Politique et gouvernement Sciences politiques

    • Episode 81 – What Makes a Great Golf Course? Architecture, Strategy & Timeless Design

      Episode 81 – What Makes a Great Golf Course? Architecture, Strategy & Timeless Design
      Jan 8 2026
      In this episode of Golf & Politics, Colton Craig joins Matt Parker and Rob Ellsworth for a deep conversation on golf course architecture, strategic design, and how great courses shape the way the game is played. The discussion centers on why timeless golf architecture prioritizes decision-making over raw power, how course design influences risk-reward choices, and what distinguishes truly great golf courses from those that rely solely on length or conditioning. Craig shares his perspective on playing and studying well-designed courses, as well as competitive experiences, and how architecture exposes strengths and weaknesses in a golfer’s game. They also dive into the National Links Trust debate, using it as a real-world case study in public golf, access, and how decisions about preservation play a big role in the game’s future. The episode explores how thoughtful golf course design mirrors life — forcing players to manage mistakes, adapt to conditions, and think their way around a course rather than simply reacting. From classic architectural principles to modern design trends, this conversation is for golfers who care about why courses are designed the way they are. ⸻ 🧠 Topics Covered: Golf course architecture and strategic design principles Why great courses reward thinking golfers Risk-reward decisions in course design Timeless architecture vs. modern trends The National Links Trust debate and public golf stewardship Competitive golf lessons shaped by design How architecture enhances the golf experience Learn more about your ad choices.
