Joe Hancock has worked with enough great architects to notice the common thread:

The best ones don’t chase whatever is trendy.

They have design tenets. Convictions. A way of seeing golf that shows up job after job.

A pleasure to have @JoeytheKnows into the Salon to talk ball with me and Jim Urbina. Joe is an OG in the design/shaping world who has worked on too many extraordinary courses and projects to count, inc. @candyrootlodge. Listen 👇
