On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett opens up the show with Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy, who is back after being out this week getting over a cold.  Jim details his trip to Pullman where he went to celebrate Parents weekend with his kids.  Jim went golfing with one of his son's girlfriend's father and ended up tipping over their golf cart. Jim recaps the hilarity that followed.  They briefly touch in on the M's, but mainly focus on the Masters and the near collapse in the first round from Rory McILroy and their hope that he can keep it going over the weekend.  Jim and Puck also talk about a new golf course being considered in Westport, Washington called Westport Golf Links, which is being designed by David McLay Kidd, who built Bandon Dunes and Gamble Sands.   Jim departs from the show because he's still under the weather and Puck welcomes Chris Egan from KING 5 to the show for his weekly visit.  Egan is back after spending last week in Arizona for spring break.  Egan and Puck talk about why it's so hard for this state to get no brainer ideas done like the golf course in Westport, adding sports like lacrosse, flag football and pickleball to be officially recognized by the WIAA in our state.   Egan also details his trip to Arizona and how he and other parents watching their kids play in a junior college baseball game lose it with some bad umpiring.  Puck details his mishap with his little league team and how both he and Egan need to learn from their mistakes in dealing with umpires.  Chris also details finally taking his shirt off in the pool, his love for In-and-Out Burger, renting an airbnb, High Noons and why doesn't he live in the sun!    Puck also welcomes “The Scout”, his Friday weekly chat with an anonymous MLB scout who has been covering the sport for 30+ years.  They talk about the top players he has ever scouted in Washington, plus, this year's crop of high school talent has four very good players with all four having a great chance to be drafted very high.  They get into the current state of the Mariners and all their injuries, specifically to Ryan Bliss and Victor Robles.  What impact will their losses have on the team?  “The Scout” details whether or not there is help down in Tacoma with Cole Young, Ben Williamson and Tyler Locklear.  Puck wraps up the show with “Hey, What the Puck!?”  Another college football horror story. (3:03) Puck and Jim (38:07) Chris Egan, KING 5 (1:09:06) “The Scout” (1:39:24) “Hey, What the Puck!?”

For David McLay Kidd, it's not Bandon, Gamble Sands, Nanea, or his other masterpieces. It's a course that not only changed the landscape, but also reshaped the community and impacted the people around it.

Bandon Dunes began as a pie-in-the-sky brainchild of a wannabe golf course developer and a wannabe Scottish golf course architect. Together, David McLay-Kidd and Mike Keiser built a golf course — but they had no idea they were spawning a revolution in the process. Bandon expanded and Cabot Links and Sand Valley followed in its footsteps; some dozen golf courses later, Bandon's lasting legacy is as an idea: That North America can have true links golf and that reimagine the idea of a remote golf course as a bucket-list destination. New locales have followed in Bandon's footsteps, like Cabot Links in Nova Scotia and Sand Valley in Wisconsin. Dream Golf has become a movement. But it sure didn't start that way. On this week's Drop Zone, here's how one course in nowhere, Oregon turned into an entire movement — all by accident.

Tony Dear has been friends with Scottish golf course architect David McLay-Kidd for many years, and recently joined the designer of Bandon Dunes and Mammoth Dunes on a trip to preview McLay-Kidd’s new short course at Washington’s Gamble Sands.

There are dozens of players on tour who can do exactly what Martin did.

Holly asks Bob about the news that Tiger is now hitting full shots recently. Getting ready for the World Championships in December. Tiger has seemed to enjoy his down time healing from this injury. Family time and golf course design, etc.  Rich B asks Bob about who Tiger's next coach will be. Bob doesn't think he will have a coach any time soon and that may not be a bad thing. Bob said that with all of Tiger's knowledge of the game and the swing that he could be by himself for a while.  Holly asks Bob about his article on the post Ryder Cup fallout.

The top course is a David McLay Kidd designed course, Gamble Sands in Brewster Washington. The original Bandon Dunes was his first design in 1994. Then he developed a local following and then designed courses all over the globe. He fell in love with his own image and designed more and more difficult courses because he thought that was what architects were supposed to do. Then he realized at the age of 50 that play ability and fun are more important for the game.  Holly talks about two new 18 hole courses in Florida designed by Chris Wilczynski. One is the Esplande Golf and Country Club of Naples. Both courses are currently open to the public as the developer sells lots and houses to residents with golf memberships.
