After the turn: 00:11:30 A bunch of suggestions for great course/clubhouse combos after last weeks chat about it. 00:15:00 An update on the 13th Beach Duck Spring Roll disaster. 00:16:30 Mark tells a story about getting poleaxed with the legendary Jack Newton at the Dunvegan 00:19:30 Recently we spoke about the Top 5 holes architects would be 'fired' for if they tried them today, wolfpacker Tom has some additions to the list. 00:20:30 Mark fails to learn from past experiences and goes to Grok again.
