Kieran is a St.…

  • Blind Shots Podcast S5 E14 Americans in Oregon – Bandon Trails

    Blind Shots Podcast S5 E14 Americans in Oregon – Bandon Trails
    2024/06/29
    The boys finally get around to discussing Bandon Trails, which Matt and I were absolutely smitten with, from start to finish. A masterwork of routing and shaping from Coore Crenshaw set inland among the still-wooded dunes and logging trails, the course is almost the perfect mix of difficulty, beauty, and diversity for golf.

    Blind Shots Podcast S5 E12 – Hagen O’Neil’s film “From Red Clay to Fairways” at The Fields Golf Club
    2024/04/12
    In this conversation, I sat down with filmmaker Hagen O'Neil of Palmer Pictures to discuss the background and process of making his wonderful documentary film about the course, "From Red Clay to Fairways." Using the color personalities that form The Fields leadership team, Hagen brings the course's Phoenix-like rise to the screen, while exploring the principles of community and public golf writ large, as the divide between luxury and every day golf experiences continues to widen.

  • Blind Shots Podcast S5 E11 Americans in Oregon – Sheep Ranch

    Blind Shots Podcast S5 E11 Americans in Oregon – Sheep Ranch
    2024/03/26
    This is the Sheep Ranch episode. Perched against the coast on the bluff just north of the Pacific Dunes and Old Mac golf courses, the Sheep Ranch struck me as a bit different than the rest. A much ballyhood Coore Crenshaw masterpiece, it’s more familiar to other experiences than I felt on the rest of the Bandon Courses. Sure, it’s in a unique, almost magical setting, but it was flatter, with fewer visual disruptions. It felt like a core golf course, with long sightlines largely unbroken in most directions. Gentler, calmer ground led to a gentler calmer golf experience, at least on the morning we were there. Later that afternoon, the caddies told us the winds were upwards of 40 mph at Sheep Ranch, where we played in, at worst, a nice breeze that morning.

    Blind Shots Podcast S5 E9 Americans in Oregon – Pacific Dunes
    2024/03/11
    This is the Pacific Dunes episode, our fourth of this season’s “Americans in Oregon Series.” A golf course of almost unanimous acclaim, it’s the golf course that brought architect Tom Doak into the larger golfing public’s consciousness, that showed people how spectacular coastal golf in America can be, and what natural, minimalist golf architecture can…
