In this throwback podcast on the history of Bandon Dunes, part 2 picks up on May 1st, 1999 on the eve of Bandon Dunes opening for business. I'm not even sure Mike Keiser could've dreamed something as big as what Bandon has become. We hear from Bandon's original caddy master, Shoe, and the local barber, Mick Peters, who has hit the first tee shot on every course at Bandon, as well as reflections from Mike Keiser, David Kidd, Josh Lesnik, Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw as we also celebrate the opening of the Sheep Ranch, their third course on property.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this throwback podcast you'll hear part 1 of the building of Bandon Dunes, as told by Mike Keiser, the owner, David McLay Kidd and his father, Jimmy, the architects, and Josh Lesnik and his father, Steve, who won the bid to manage it. Bandon Dunes, the original course at what is now the best pure golf destination in America, and arguably the world, was an outlier that opened in 1999. Like Sand Hills in Mullen, Nebraska, which opened in 1995, to build a golf course in a remote location using a minimalist architect or architects was anything but what was being built in America in the 90s.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our fifth and final deep dive into the 18-hole courses at Bandon Dunes is here! Since we've gone in reverse-chronological order, we have finally arrived at the OG, the 1999 David McLay Kidd design that launched Mike Keiser's outpost in the Oregon dunes and changed the way everyone in the golf industry thought about the destination-resort business. Andy Johnson and Garrett Morrison talk about Keiser's bold vision for Bandon Dunes and the collaborative—or, more accurately, combative—nature of the construction process. They then explain why they believe the original Bandon course is, by a substantial margin, the weakest 18 at the resort. The Bandon Deep Dives are brought to you by Zero Restriction.

Sandra Boynton has sold more than 70 million children's books, 500 million greeting cards, and has been nominated for a Grammy. So what does she have to do with golf?  According to her first publisher, Mike Keiser, Boynton's work financed the building of Bandon Dunes.  Fresh off her profile in TGJ No. 18, Boynton joins host Tom Coyne to discuss working for Keiser's greeting card company after graduating from Yale, turning down his original offer in exchange for royalties, Keiser's meritocratic leadership style, the inspiration behind her designs, and quite possibly making the first hole-in-one in Bandon history.

Over the next several weeks, we plan to record deep-dive discussions for all five 18-hole courses at Bandon Dunes. First up, in reverse-chronological order: Sheep Ranch. Before it was officially part of the resort, Sheep Ranch was a free-form course on which players could choose their own routings. Its 13 greens were designed by Tom Doak and the team at Renaissance Golf Design. When owners Mike Keiser and Phil Friedman decided to incorporate Sheep Ranch into Bandon Dunes, they hired Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw to transform it into a traditional 18-hole layout. Andy Johnson and Garrett Morrison discuss the course's history and evolution before giving their assessment of its current design. (Spoiler: they like it.) Our Bandon Deep Dives are brought to you by Zero Restriction.

In this episode, I speak with one of the most innovative and successful business leaders in our country, Ben Cowan-Dewar. Ben is the Co-Founder and CEO of Cabot, a company with two world-class and top-rated golf courses nestled on the western coast of Cape Breton Island. In 2004, at just 25 years old, Ben and his friend/mentor and business partner, Mike Keiser, set out to turn a mining site into a world-class golf destination. With three sites on the Island, Cabot Cliffs, Cabot Links and Cabot Nest, Cabot Cape Breton features exhilarating golf, over 70 rooms of award-winning accommodations, 19 upscale Golf Villas, with more under construction, and an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Ben has served as the Chair of Destination Canada since 2017 and was recently named to the Industry Strategy Council to aid Canada's economic recovery from COVID-19. He is a member of the Young Presidents Organization (YPO) and has served on the Golf Canada Foundation and Cape Breton University boards. Governor-General David Johnston also awarded him the Meritorious Service Medal in 2017. Now a father of 3, Ben is hardworking, driven, and above all, passionate about the game of golf and the profound impact that it can have on remote islands such as Cape Breton and Saint Lucia. Ben and his team have helped show the world just how unique Cape Breton Island truly is and the magic that happens on this island. Ben is a dear friend and someone I am inspired by. I know this talk will interest listeners from all over the world and will have you wanting to book your next vacation to Cabot Cape Breton.

How does a small-town Wisconsin kid who has re-created golf courses on computers go on to play an integral role in a major golf course development just down the road? How does a computer-game version of a lost golf course end up being carved out of the sand in Central Wisconsin? Brian Zager, digital golf course mapping specialist, shares the answers and details his unique journey in golf. Brian talks about his passion for golf and computers from a young age, his online golf hobby, and turning that into a money-making side business. Then, he discusses how Sand Valley, a golf resort 20 minutes from his hometown, changed everything. Brian dives into his most recent and largest undertaking at The Lido. From mapping the original model to implementing the plan in the field in an effort to re-create The Lido, it's hard to imagine someone with a more ideal background for this unique job.To get in touch with Brian or learn more about his work, his website is http://www.zagerdesign.com. You can also find him on Twitter @BrianZ111.

We are joined by legendary golf course architect, Tom Doak. We look at his career and discuss some of his past and current work in creating world class golf courses.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The U.S. Amateur or the Walker Cup were always the Holy Grails,” says Josh Lesnik, President of Kemper Sports, who manages Bandon Dunes. Lesnik was also the first General Manager of the resort, where he started in his late-20s, and was literally in on the sand floor. “But to be honest, we never really thought about hosting anything like that until Mike Davis took a look and liked it. That's a big part of this,” says Lesnik. “Mike Davis came out early, and the fact that he liked what he saw, that pushed it over the top for the USGA.” Now here it is, July of 2021, roughly 25 years into the development of Bandon, and news just broke that not only is Mike Keiser looking to develop a sixth 18-hole course, another short course and a putting course, but that the USGA will be bringing 13 amateur championships in the next 24 years, which includes a Walker Cup, two more U.S. Amateurs, three Women's Amateurs, a Curtis Cup and four U.S. Juniors, two boy's and two girl's.  “I never dreamed Bandon Dunes would be as popular as it is,” Keiser said on Tuesday evening, just before he sat down to dinner with one of his granddaughters. “That popularity enables us to have these tournaments.” And it also frees him up to build more courses and lodging.  In this episode, Matt Ginella, Alan Shipnuck and Colt Knedler discuss all that's on the horizon for one of the greatest pure golf destinations in the world.  Visit the The Fire Pit Collective to check out everything we are doing.

You've heard of Bandon Dunes. And you've heard the story of how young David McLay-Kidd made Mike Keiser's dream a reality on the Oregon Coast. But have you heard who inspired him, and why? Learn the role his father played, and how the thread of ancient links courses runs through challenging designs like Tetherow, and the big bunch of fun at Gamble Sands.

Michael Keiser, Jr., owner of the Sand Valley Golf Resort and son of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort owner Mike Keiser, joins the pod to catch up on the latest developments at Sand Valley, Bandon Dunes and the recreation of the Lido Golf Course. Michael also details the family's philosophy around golf development and his upbringing in the golf business as a caddie and agronomy staff member at Bandon Dunes.

Bob “Shoe” Gaspar is the director of Outside Happiness at Bandon Dunes. Shoe grew up in southern California, where he was introduced to the game of golf. He later moved north to Bandon and worked several different jobs before retiring. After retiring, Shoe became restless. At the time, Mike Keiser was in town with ambitions to build a world class links course in Bandon. Shoe became involved in developing the caddy program at Bandon Dunes in the course’s formative years. Shoe later transitioned into his current role as the mayor of Bandon Dunes. He is the first friendly face that welcomes guests to the grounds when they arrive from all over the world. He could teach a masterclass in customer service, as he wakes up at the crack of dawn to familiarize himself with details about guests before they arrive. He’s one of the few people I’ve met who truly loves his job.

Plans for a Mike Keiser, Bill Coore designed championship links golf course two miles north of Royal Dornoch may have been rejected by the Scottish Government in February 2020 but... Read More

As we kick off Season 2 of The Fire Pit Podcast, just a short reflection on where we’ve been since March, 2020, which is when, while in quarantine, we hatched the idea of this podcast. Our first, which aired on what would’ve been Masters Sunday of last year, was the story of how and why John Ashworth caddied at the ’86 Masters for his childhood friend, Mark Wiebe.  One interview led to the next, Zoom calling with Nicklaus, Griffey Jr., Walter Iooss, Fred Couples, Jim Nantz, Ben Crenshaw, Bill Coore, Mike Keiser, David Kidd and so many more, and here we are again, with an expanded Fire Pit Collective but the same objective, which is to tell compelling stories.    As for the story we tell today—a trip to LaTrobe to sit with The King—it’s one of my favorites, but it’s bittersweet.   The events that took place U.S. Open week at Oakmont in 2016 which afforded Gary Williams, Damon Hack and I to not only have lunch with Arnold Palmer, but to get time with him in his office, now all seems like a dream.  What you’ll hear is that story. And you’ll listen to phone footage from that day that I’ve only shared with a select few in small settings. Plus, Gary Williams, Damon Hack, Doc Giffin and Bob Ford will add their perspectives. Not to mention Arnold Palmer, who tells his Roger Maris story one more time. Visit the The Fire Pit Collective to check out everything we are doing.

On a recent trip to The Dunes Club in Michigan, Erik was fortunate enough to sit down with the "Willy Wonka of Golf", Mr. Mike Keiser. Mike talks about the inspiration behind creating his now world-renowned golf resort Bandon Dunes, how being in the greeting card business somehow helped his approach to the golf business, adopting simplistic aspects of the game in Ireland and Scotland to his ventures, and secretly driving the shuttle at Bandon Dunes to hear how his customers really feel!  For more golf content, be sure to follow along on RandomGolfClub.com RANDOM GOLF CLUB/// Web: www.randomgolfclub.com Instagram: @randomgolfclub Twitter: @randomgolfclub Facebook: www.facebook.com/randomgolfclub ERIK ANDERS LANG/// Web: www.erikanderslang.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/erikanderslang Twitter: www.twitter.com/erikanderslang Facebook: www.facebook.com/erikanderslang YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/eriklang12 WHOOP/// Web: www.whoop.com Social: @whoop JONES SPORTS CO/// Web: www.jonessportsco.com Social: @jones_sports_co PRECISION PRO GOLF/// Web: www.precisionprogolf.com Instagram: @precisionprogolf Twitter: @preprogolf TAYLORMADE GOLF/// Web: www.taylormadegolf.com Social: @taylormadegolf VICE GOLF/// Web: www.vicegolf.com Instagram: @vicegolf Twitter: @vice_golf EXPRESS VPN/// Web: www.expressvpn.com Instagram: @expressvpn Twitter: @expressvpn FEETURES/// Web: www.feetures.com Instagram: @feetures Twitter: @Feetures THERAGUN/// Web: www.theragun,com Instagram: @theragun Twitter: @theragun STUART KERR /// PRODUCER Social; @stuartlkerr Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

“The patron saint of public golf.” That's how they describe Mike Keiser, the most prolific and respected golf course developer of the last 20 years. The visionary behind the five courses at Bandon Dunes, Oregon – four of which are listed in the Top 15 public courses in America – with 14 others completed and 10 under development around the world, Mike turns nothingness into gorgeousness. Learn as he explains beating adversity with creativity; outdoor over indoor meetings; testing ideas before rejecting them; the mistake of guessing instead of asking; and the surprising benefit of rivals.

Can Bandon become even better? The answer in unequivocally YES. Sheep Ranch opens on June 1st, and we haven't experienced this much anticipation since Old Mac debuted at Bandon a decade ago. It's been an amazing 20 year transformation for this iconic setting on Oregon's southern coast, where no one outside of Mike Keiser could've imagined it. Brian welcomes Bandon's Michael Chupka to walk & talk us through the newest 18.

As Bandon Dunes celebrates its 20th Anniversary, there's no doubt that golf is the draw. But it's the experience and the people that keep us coming back.

The first smiling face we see upon arrival is usually Bob Gaspar, affectionately known as "Shoe". In this episode, Brian sits down with Shoe to share his story, the early days when Bandon Dunes first opened, and how he became the hero and beloved Mayor of Bandon Dunes.

Mike Keiser has helped usher in a new era of golf in the United States, and in other remote places around the world.

Bandon Dunes. Cabot Links. Two instantly recognizable names in the world of golf travel — and two of the world’s most highly regarded destinations. So what’s next from mastermind Mike Keiser and his hard-working team?

This week's edition of the Golf.com podcast brings you an interview from SI senior writer Alan Shipnuck with golf course developer Mike Keiser, owner of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Bandon, Oregon. The two discuss Keiser's golf game, which courses he rates the highest, how Bandon Dunes came about and his plans to expand the resort with a sixth course, Bandon Muni. At the time of this podcast's recording, Keiser was still in negotiations with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to build the new 27-hole course. However, plans to build Bandon Muni ended in late September due to what Keiser calls, "unworkable terms" with officials. We are releasing this interview to give context to Keiser's side of the story.

In today's episode of the podcast you will hear an interview I did with my friends over at the Peak Performance Podcast, Mike & Maria Keiser. Their show is "about everything having to do with being a Peak Performer.  We discuss high achievers, relationship management, mind management, happiness and well being, and everything we can think of to help you reach your full potential." I had the joy of being on their show a while ago now but I wanted to bring this interview to you because it emphasizes how important having a business coach is, in addition to sharing a lot of details about my own business journey that I haven't already shared here on the podcast or blog. If you came here today looking for this episode to be about the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), Corporate Equality Index (CEI) - my apologies - that'll be in the next episode. I'm serving as a juror on a trial and didn't want you to go a week without new and interesting content, so this is what I've got for you. In episode #53 we will cover the recap of the 2015 HRC CEI, promise! As always, thanks for listening - you are the best!

Well hello and welcome to episode number 52 of the Gay Business and Marketing Made East Podcast. I am your host, Jenn T. Grace. And it is February of 2015, and in the last episode, episode number 51, I shared with you an interview that I did with Liz Cooper from the Human Rights Campaign. And I talked about how in this podcast episode we were going to go into more detail on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index. Today's episode is a little different... Now I am apologizing up front that today's episode is not going to be that. And I actually have a very valid reason for why today's episode is going to be a little bit different than usual. So I was recently chosen to serve on a jury for a pretty lengthy trial here, where I'm based in the Connecticut area. So my time is exceptionally limited right now. So I've already been on it for about a week and there's still about two to three possible weeks left to go. So I want to use today's episode, which I'm basically going to share with you an interview that I did with Mike and Maria Keiser. They are part of the Peak Performance podcast and some time ago, honestly I don't even remember when it is but I will include the link to it in today's show notes; but I did an interview on my podcast with them, and I want to say it was one of the earlier podcasts. So today we're in episode 52, I want to say with them it was somewhere between like episode 14, 15, 16, somewhere around that time. So I did an interview with them quite some time ago, and it was actually one of the higher listened to interviews that I had done, because they own a coaching company called the Entrepreneur Circle, and for long time listeners of this podcast I'm sure you are familiar with Mental Compass, and that is Mike Keiser. So he and Maria are sponsors of my podcast, I'm a sponsor of theirs, we both get a lot of out of it. So what I want to do with today with you, is I just wanted to share with you an interview that I did on their podcast, and this was a short time ago, I want to say it was probably September of 2013 or so. So it's about a year and a half old; however, the entire content of that interview is really about learning how to achieve your peak performance in your business, and of course in your marketing. So one of the things that I've recently- I guess recently had a revelation about, is when I was just doing my 2015 goal planning,

Jenn T Grace: Well hello and welcome to episode number sixteen of the Gay Business and Marketing Made Easy Podcast. I am your host, Jenn Grace, and today I have a really exciting interview for you. I have been talking about the Human Performance Academy and www.MentalCompass.com and Mike and Maria Keiser for a while now. And they actually sponsor this podcast. So anyone who's a loyal listener of the podcast, I'm sure you've heard the commercial from Mike Keiser of www.MentalCompass.com. And today I actually was able to sit down and talk with both Mike and Maria about the benefits and values of having a peer advisory board, and the benefits of knowing yourself, and knowing how you operate in business. So I had a great conversation with them, that I'm really pleased to be bringing you. If you hear any links in the podcast, you can find the information at www.JennTGrace.com/016, that is for episode number sixteen. So without further ado, let's dive into the interview. Okay so today I am talking with Mike and Maria Keiser. They are the- I don't even know what your titles are officially. But the founders of the Entrepreneur Circle, and also the creators of the Human Performance Academy. And for people who are listening to this right now, I'm sure you've heard me announce 1,000 times over that the Human Performance Academy is amazing, and that they are sponsors of this podcast, et cetera, et cetera. And then of course most of you will be familiar with Mike's voice, however we have Maria here as well who's somewhat the quite force behind the scenes. Maria Keiser: Hi Jenn. Jenn T Grace: There, oh look, she's already appeared. Maria Keiser: Jenn if you are wondering about a title for me, people have asked me this before and I just usually stick with Queen. Jenn T Grace: I'll take it, let's do it, 'Queen.' Alright so we have Queen Keiser and Mike. Mike Keiser: Court jester is fine. Jenn T Grace: That's actually pretty fitting based on your podcast as well. So this is my first time interviewing two people on one show, so this should be interesting to say the least. But I would love before we get into any of the nitty gritty and the details on all the different business types of endeavors that you're going on, I would love for you both to just give a really quick ov...
