An Inside Conversation on Building One of America's Best New Golf Clubs | Chase Watson (Director of Agronomy)
️ Pine Talk Ep. 28 - Building Old Barnwell with Director of Agronomy Chase Watson We sat down with Chase Watson, Director of Agronomy at Old Barnwell, to talk about what it’s actually like to help build one of the most talked-about new golf clubs in the country. We dive into the process of building the original Old Barnwell course, some of the challenges and learning experiences that came along the way, and what goes into taking a golf course from dirt to something people actually get to play. We also talk about Old Barnwell’s second course, Gilroy, which is getting closer to preview play, the unique approach architects Brian Schneider and Blake Conant took while building it, and what Chase and his team have learned going through the process for a second time. It’s a really interesting behind-the-scenes look at a side of golf course construction most golfers never get to see, so hope you enjoy! _ Subscribe for more conversations about golf, storytelling, and the culture of the Carolinas.
