Episode 202: Andy's Carolina Trip, Part 1 - Kiawah


Garrett and Andy sit down to discuss Andy’s recent trip through the Carolinas. In this first part of their conversation, they open with some thoughts on the events and content projects The Fried Egg has on the schedule for 2021. Then they delve deeply into Pete Dye’s Ocean Course at Kiawah Island. They talk about the chaotic origins of the course, its spectacular debut at the 1991 Ryder Cup, and how its architecture holds up today. There are also some digressions into Webb Simpson’s recent comments on course design and Mike Strantz’s place in the lineage of provocative golf architecture, among other topics.
