We're all taught at some point that golf is a game between a golfer and the course they're on.  Where does that leave the person who designed the course?  This week on Ground Under Repair, I talk to Bruce Charlton of Robert Trent Jones II Golf Course Architects about his work designing courses.

Bruce discusses his life playing and working in golf, and his journey to becoming a course architect, from the first time he thought of pin location through his field of study in college.  When a designer's course hosts a major, that is as "big time" as it gets.  We discuss the 2015 US Open at the Chambers Bay course Bruce designed with his team.  We also discuss golf's status as a worldwide sport, and how people can continue to spread the word that, as we say here on Ground Under Repair, golf is for everyone.
