Big Randy and Neil discuss the Camargo Club located outside Cincinnati, OH. The Camargo Club is a 1927 Seth Raynor design that features arguable the best collection of Par 3s in the world. Like other Raynor or his mentor C.B. Macdonald designs, The Camargo Club features template holes including the Redan, Eden, Short and Biarritz. Tom Doak and Renaissance Golf completed a restoration of the course in the early 2000's focusing mostly on greens and bunkers which were changed in the last 80s. It is an absolute must play if you are ever afforded the opportunity!

425 - 1991 Ryder Cup Deep Dive

Big decision to make this week for our preview location, and the more we thought about it, the easier it got. Singapore is a place both Tron and Randy want to get to (via Singapore Airlines ideally), so it made sense to talk about the island-nation this week as they play host to the LPGA. Joining TC and Randy is very special guest, Mark Adams. Mark has lived in Singapore for many years and travels extensively all across the region. The guys ask him all about his home, from food to golf and everything in-between. And be sure to stick around for Mark's *crazy* experience on Singapore Airlines in 1991, as well as some bonus NBA talk at the end. Enjoy!

133: Singapore
