Podcasts about Kiawah

Beau Welling joins CRS to talk about whether the current golf course renovation boom is warranted or driven by FOMO,  and how land planning fits into his design business. He also discusses designing the green and virtual holes for TGL, what golf can learn from curling, and gives updates on major projects at Kiawah and Lake Oconee.

This Friday episode kicks off with a good old-fashioned Sports Minute following the latest exploits of Andy's beloved Pete Crow-Armstrong. Although bad, PCA's struggles seem like nothing compared to Brendan's Cavaliers after a historic collapse in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against PJ's Knicks. As a follow-up to Wednesday's show, Brendan provides an early update on the Browns' QB competition before transitioning into the all-important RATINGS! report for the 2026 PGA Championship. The masses turned out to watch Aaron Rai's back nine at Aronimink, giving CBS its highest viewership for the PGA since Phil Mickelson's win at Kiawah. With limited returns from the first go around Lanny's Place, the bulk of this episode focuses on Bryson DeChambeau's impending "choice" between playing professional golf or becoming a full-time YouTuber. Appearing on Katie Miller's podcast this week, Bryson implied that he must choose between pro golf and content creation with no way to do both simultaneously. He also confirmed that he DOES believe the moon landing happened - only because Elon Musk told him so - but doubts that the video footage of the event is real. Andy is willing to put money on "Bryson Plays Golf on the Moon" within the next decade, if anyone is willing to take him up on that. Elsewhere on LIV, ESPN has reported that Scott O'Neil's plan for a re-imagined LIV Golf has "significant interest" from potential investors. Brendan and Andy then take a look at a Josh Carpenter report about the 2028 PGA Tour schedule and the new markets that the Tour is looking to hold annual events in. Brendan is especially enthused about the Pacific Northwest getting a yearly stop, although it does not look like it will be at Chambers Bay as of now. Andy briefly checks in on the International Presidents Cup Team standings during a check-in on under-performers through two majors because he's worried about Pendy's status for Medinah. Viktor Hovland and the aforementioned Bryson are highlighted by Brendan, but Andy is much more focused on players like Neal Shipley and Tony Finau. To wrap things up for this post-major week, SGS Golf Advice returns with a layered question from a listener who unwillingly finds himself as a club committee chairman.

Stephen and Mark dive back into the Kingdom of Blunder for the second installment of the Shepherd King duology by Rachel Gillig. In this installment, all stories will be concluded. The mystery of the poem revealed, and a world will be changed for good or ill. We loved this series, and it's only appropriate that we try a bottle from a label we have nothing but love for as well. In this episode we sample The Kiawah Blend from 2XO by Dixon Dedman.     Rachel Gillig, Author Limited Edition Whiskey Blends | 2XO Whiskey

“K” is for Kiawah Island (Charleston County; 2020 population 1,626). Kiawah is a small barrier island situated south of Charleston between the mouths of the Stono and North Edisto Rivers.

Flashback to our last night in Kentucky, when we visited a random tavern and tried some amazing whiskeys.  One of them was this very Bourbon, which turned out to be created by the former owner of not only the tavern but also the hotel attached to it. And that person ended up being the guy who resurrected his great-grandfather's pre-Prohibition brand too!  So, who was this person?  Which tavern and inn was it?  Which old-timey brand did he create?  And is his new stuff any good?  Tune in and find out!

Hale Irwin, 3-time winner of the U.S. Open, concludes his look back on his PGA TOUR days by recounting his final few individual and team wins. As a 45-year-old Hale prevailed at the 1990 U.S. Open at Medinah with a comeback for the ages. He has fond memories of the 1991 Ryder Cup at Kiawah, not because of the result but because of the camaraderie and grittiness displayed by both sides. Hale derived much satisfaction from his final win at the 1994 Heritage Golf Classic, his third win at Harbour Town. His appearance as the only President's Cup Player/Captain in 1994 capped off an incredible regular Tour career and set the stage for great things to come, "FORE the Good of the Game."Give Bruce & Mike some feedback via Text.The Top 100 in 10 Golf PodcastThe story of a quest to play the Top 100 Golf courses in the UK & Ireland in just 10 yearsListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showFollow our show and/or leave a review/rating on: Our Website https://www.forethegoodofthegame.com/reviews/new/ Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fore-the-good-of-the-game/id1562581853 Spotify Podcasts https://open.spotify.com/show/0XSuVGjwQg6bm78COkIhZO?si=b4c9d47ea8b24b2d Google Podcasts https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xNzM3Mjc1LnJzcw About "FORE the Good of the Game” is a golf podcast featuring interviews with World Golf Hall of Fame members, winners of major championships and other people of influence in and around the game of golf.

Town of Kiawah Island Communication Manager, Erin Pomrenke speaks with Emily Speck and Courtney Simmons from Sea island Habitat for Humanity to learn more about the programs and how the Kiawah community has and can support the organization.

We want to share a very important initiative for our island, called Kiawah Goes Green. This initiative focuses on our island and the little steps we all can take to protect what we love so much on this island in the best way possible.This is a rather “down-to-earth” and pragmatic initiative which is based on mostly three pillars:1. Our mission is to focus on environmental stewardship, sustainability and advancement of eco-friendly public and private practices across the island while remaining fiscally responsible and avoid harm to the operational efficiency of the services we receive.2. Through our work, we focus on the step-by-step elimination of harmful or inefficient materials, properly separated collection of trash and waste across the island and more eco-friendly in our operations.3. Our team members of the initiative come from all our relevant stakeholders – the Town Council and Town Departments, KICA, the Conservancy, the Golf Resort, the Kiawah Island Club, Freshfields, Andell West or Riverstone, … and a great group of engaged community members.

Andy and Brendan are back home after another incredible week in Augusta that went one extra day for BP. That's the cause for this beefy Wednesday episode, as Andy peppers him with some questions about his Monday round at Augusta National. They discuss his best shots, worst shots, unexpected encounters, and favorite memories from an all-time experience. Then they transition to the week that's coming by diving right into a fun game of In/Out/Alternate for the opposite field Puntacana Championship. At the Heritage, they discuss more gnome fever and make some one-and-done picks. The women's major championship, the Chevron, is also covered in the context of Nelly Korda's historic run. News hits on the Rory-to-LIV rumor that lasted about a day this week, the Masters ratings plummeting and how we should react to it, and the PGA going back to Kiawah's Ocean Course.

We wholeheartedly believe that a well-designed home not only reflects your personal style but also has a significant financial impact on its sale or rental value. That's why we wanted to share an insightful interview with Kathleen DeWitt, a renowned real estate agent from Charleston, who sheds light on the importance of good design in the local real estate market. In our conversation with Kathleen, she emphasizes how an aesthetically appealing home can truly make a difference when it comes to attracting potential buyers or tenants. She discusses the positive impacts of thoughtful design choices and how they can set your property apart from the competition.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: A professionally designed home can help a property be more marketable, sell faster and you get your money two-fold in return. If something is very well done, a homeowner doesn't need to panic on how it will present itself. You don't have to do “vanilla” and worry that a future homeowner won't like it. Don't be afraid of navy-blue cabinets or wallpaper. A designer can come into a home that is already furnished and can make edits with a space plan, removing or adding objects and give it a special “flare” that just makes it show better!   RESOURCE LINKS: Kandrac & Kole Website Kandrac & Kole on Instagram Kandrac & Kole on YouTube   BIO:  Kandrac & Kole was voted one of Atlanta's Top 20 Residential Interior Designs by the Atlanta Business Chronicle and has been featured on HGTV as well as in The New York Times, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles, Better Homes & Gardens, Southern Home Magazine, and many others as well as participants of the One Room Challenge Spring 2020. Kandrac & Kole has established a well-known reputation for their approachable, dynamic personalities, signature use of color and pattern, and one-of-a-kind, custom designs. As industry experts for residential and commercial design, Joann Kandrac & Kelly Kole share upbeat and entertaining narratives regarding their design projects, travels, and personal stories on their popular blog, their podcast, and via national speaking engagements. Joann and Kelly's love and commitment to the power of interior design also extends towards their charity work throughout the U.S. and Guatemala. ABOUT KATHLEEN Kathleen's journey in Kiawah Island real estate began in 2012 but her roots on Kiawah run deep, having spent over a decade at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort before joining Akers Ellis Real Estate And Rentals, the #1 MLS company on Kiawah Island. What truly distinguishes Kathleen is her remarkable ability to establish meaningful connections with people and her keen eye for design. She has quite an outstanding track record, just since 2020 she has sold over 200 million in real estate. She's not just a realtor; she's also a passionate home design enthusiast who understands firsthand the profound impact professionally designed homes have on selling and renting. She has been awarded Salesperson of The Year for 2015, 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2022. When Kathleen is not busy selling real estate, she loves spending time with her family.

Then she got an apple on the side instead of a baguette and I knew the fit life would never be the life for me.” –Stash_bham Serious Quote “A wonderful reminder from Helen Keller– “There's nothing wrong with wanting more. It's totally OK to want more for yourself, your life, your career, or your health. But don't get so caught up in striving for the next level that you forget the magic of where you are now. Celebrate where you are right now and have gratitude for the hard work, tough decisions,and commitment to yourself that you got here, and gratitude for the opportunities ahead. You used to dream about where you are right now.” - Helen Keller  

A Ryder Cup to forget for Team USA, a big win at the Asian Games, and professional caddy Henry McGannon on this week's CoL, hosted by Alex Lauzon and Michael Russell. The Ryder Cup was a embarrassing disaster for the Americans as Team Europe marched to victory in Rome (1:59). At the Asian Games, top Korean golfers Sunjea Im and Si Woo Kim lead their team to an important victory (7:34). This week's LPGA event at the Colony in the Dallas area will include something different: Alex walking and talking with the players during their practice rounds (9:13). Alex's weekend featured his annual pilgrimage to the East Side Mini Open, an Austin bar crawl unlike any other (10:51). Our YouTube channel includes videos of what its like inside the PBR Shark Cage, being inside the Alamodome for a UTSA game, and coming up this week some videos of Alex's time in Illinois, including randomly gambling at the slots (12:20). This weekend the PGA TOUR returns with the Sanderson Farms Open, where a past guest may have a great opportunity to ride his current hot streak (13:23). In Tuned In, Michael is all set up for Halloween as October begins, and Alex is dreaming of a 2000's boy band super tour as N*SYNC returns (15:39). This week's guest is Henry McGannon, a professional caddy at Kiawah, and previously Pinehurst. Henry shares stories of caddying at these famous courses, including with Phil Mickelson, and why he created his apparel brand, RealGolfers (19:13). Michael is headed down the wormhole as he discovered how inadequate he is thanks to the life of a private jet broker (45:36). In college football, Alex's picks remain average, but he's waiting to say the word G * * D if Texas wins again this weekend (47:59).

But the Astros roared back late, scoring twice in the eighth before cutting the deficit to one on a two-run homer by Jake Meyers off Keegan Thompson in the ninth.

Many discussions were held in private, including talks over how the league plans to close the financial gap with the Big Ten and the Southeastern Conference.

Alford has softened his stance and says he is optimistic about the future. Golf – PGA – PGA Championship promises a strong course for the strongest field Oak Hill is tough enough in any conditions. Throw in biting colder temperatures on the eve of the PGA Championship and it was a reminder that this major figures to be a strong test. The good news for the 156 players is the weather will get warmer. Oak Hill figures to stay tough. Jordan Spieth says it’s no different from a U.S. Open. The thick rough and penal bunkers are putting a premium on accuracy. The PGA Championship begins Thursday with 99 of the top 100 players in the world. Masters champion Jon Rahm is among the favorites. Golf – Loving Lefty; Support for Phil Mickelson remains strong at PGA Championship Phil Mickelson’s decision to defect from the PGA Tour to LIV Golf hardly seems to have dampened his support at the PGA Championship. The six-time major champion was greeted by shouts of “Phil” in galleries that ran four-deep during his final practice round at Oak Hill. Mickelson is playing in his first PGA Championship since his stunning upset at Kiawah in 2021. He skipped last year’s visit to Southern Hills as part of the fallout of comments he made supporting LIV Golf. The 52-year-old arrives at Oak Hill in fine form after surging into a tie for second place at the Masters in April. FIFA – FIFA’s Infantino optimistic about Women’s World Cup TV deals in Europe FIFA President Gianni Infantino seems slightly more optimistic about completing what he would see as an acceptable deal for the broadcast rights to the upcoming Women’s World Cup in five key European countries.

The FIFA boss spoke briefly about the ongoing negotiations with broadcasters in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and England for the rights to show the World Cup games taking place in two months in Australia and New Zealand.

He is expected to announce Thursday whether that absence will include the French Open, a tournament he has won a record 14 times. Nadal’s manager, Benito Perez-Barbadillo, said Wednesday that Nadal would speak to the media at his tennis academy in Manacor, Spain, about his participation in Roland Garros. Nadal has never missed the French Open since winning the title there when he made his debut in 2005. Several sports outlets based in Spain said Wednesday that Nadal would not be competing at the the clay-court Grand Slam tournament in Paris, where main-draw play begins May 28. None of the reports cited a specific source. WNBA – Becky Hammon, Las Vegas Aces coach, denies bullying player over pregnancy Las Vegas coach Becky Hammon has denied that former Aces player Dearica Hamby was bullied on her team for being pregnant, saying any ill feelings between the two came from Hamby being traded. Hammon, one of the league’s marquee figures, said Wednesday in a video call with reporters that she did nothing to warrant discipline from the WNBA, which suspended her for two games without pay after a monthslong investigation into Hamby’s allegations. Hammon said she once asked Hamby about her pregnancy, but didn’t get into the specifics of what she said.

From Town Council Member Michael Heidingsfelder (mheidingsfelder@kiawahisland.org): Our family first visited Kiawah Island in 1999 and instantly fell in love with its nature, beach, and relaxing setting. We purchased our home in 2004 and moved here full-time in 2015. We love this island, as do our children, who come here as often as they can.My Master's education in Engineering and Business Administration prepared me well for my roles as COO and CEO with large private and public cooperations in the consulting, automotive, and instrumentation industries. Building companies from the ground up and enhancing the professionalism of organizations to be best prepared for the challenges in their businesses, improving customer satisfaction and leading them to financial stability have been at the core of my career. These always global business responsibilities have taken me frequently to many countries and cultures worldwide. But whenever I passed the first gate, I was home.Several years ago, I started to engage in matters important to this island. First with ongoing service to the Lowcountry Foodbank and then as a member of the TOKI Noise Ordinance Workgroup. Earlier this year, I was appointed to the TOKI Planning Commission. This involvement made me realize that we as a joint community – with all stakeholders from residents and property owners to TOKI and KICA, the ARB, the Partners, and the Resort – need to develop a thoughtful and comprehensive vision for the future of our island. Foremost, to answer the remaining questions: How do we as a community want to be recognized 10+ years from now? What do we not want to look like in a few years?We have seen positive development in the past. Still, today we are facing challenges triggered by both man and nature: There is an increasing concern in the community about over-development, rising traffic, the impact of a changing environment and rising sea levels, not always transparent decisionmaking processes, a gap in communication about important matters to the community and – unfortunately – sometimes a lack of civil cooperation among certain stakeholders. I believe that our joint community wants a meaningful and transparent resolution of these challenges without harming our neighborhoods and the island envisioned as a perfect synergy between nature and modern life.I promise to the community that I will do my best to help preserve, protect and enhance life on Kiawah and foster collaboration between the community and our governance.

Bobcat Guardian (Linked here)From Town Council Member Bradley D. Belt (bbelt@kiawahisland.org): Along with our four-legged girl, Folly, Laura and I live in the RiverView neighborhood. After visiting over the years, we bought a home in 2019, intending to split our time between Washington, DC, and Kiawah. During the pandemic, we realized how much we enjoyed life here and decided to make Kiawah our permanent home, becoming full-time residents in 2020.Before semi-retiring a year ago, I had spent the last decade and a half in executive roles with asset management and investment banking firms. Prior to that, I had been privileged to serve in the Administration of President George W. Bush as the head of the agency responsible for overseeing and ensuring private sector pension plans. I've had leadership roles with two “think tanks,” and early in my career, I served in senior counsel roles at the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.Throughout my career, I have served on the fiduciary or advisory boards of various companies, nonprofit organizations, and professional associations. Currently, I serve on the executive board of a private equity firm and the board of UNICEF USA (Mid- Atlantic). My previous service includes a Presidential appointment to the Social Security Advisory Board and the Board of Trustees of the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation, as well as several private companies and organizations On Kiawah, I am on the board of the RiverView POA and was one of the founders of PreserveKiawah.In many respects, we are at an inflection point for life on and around Kiawah Island. We are nearing the end of growth on Kiawah but aren't there yet. And there is going to be substantial additional development and growth off Island. This growth has profound implications for our physical infrastructure, fragile natural ecosystem, and quality of life on and around Kiawah. I believe that the Town of Kiawah needs to play a leadership role in addressing the challenges we face, and we can best do so by engaging the community and working collaboratively with all stakeholders

In this episode I give you all of the details I experienced at the Kiawah Member Guest golf tournament. The schedule, format, people, swag, and everything in between.
