Mike Koprowski and Kyle Franz have been working together on a project just outside of Columbia, South Carolina inspired by Pinehurst No. 2 and Old Town Club. Just a few weeks ago we heard from Kyle on the podcast, who shared his thoughts on his recent design work at Cabot Citrus Farms (FL), Luling (TX), and Broomsedge. Now also for the second time, we get an update from Mike on all that has transpired on site since late 2023. Learn more about how the Broomsedge team is embracing the UK model here:  https://us18.campaign-archive.com/?u=84a122f92ec0daa39210e64d1&id=d7abaaf851 Hope you all enjoy this conversation.  Thanks for the support as always!  Cheers,  - The Tie Guys Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.thetiepodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/thetiepodcast/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mobile.twitter.com/thetiepodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ GoodWalk Coffee:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodwalkcoffee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  CODE: thetie for 20% off  BDraddy: bdraddy.com  CODE: thetie25 for 25% off

In today's conversation, Neal and Henry discuss: - Neal's off season and how he prepared for The Masters. - A few specific holes and shots Neal has given extra attention to. - Some of the intricacies of Augusta National that Neal has picked up on in his multiple trips to ANGC in the lead up to The Masters.

It's Masters week! Truly the best week of the year in so many ways and of course we are doing another #mudballmonday on The Masters. Today we're breaking down some of our scenarios that we think are possible yet not super likely that we think would make this week even better than it already trusts to be! The Main things you can expect today are: - Some of the things we are most excited for at the Masters this year. - 6 "What ifs?" for this year's Masters Tournament and the repercussions of each. - The reasons why we think this Masters has the chance to be as good as any we've seen in some time.

Kyle Franz has been doing great renovation and restoration work for a number of years now and, as he describes it in today's conversation, feels like he is just now getting his "big break" on exciting original works. Although it wasn't original, his reworking of Cabot Citrus Farms (formerly World Woods) feels like our first chance to see what Kyle's true original work will look like, and if it is ant indication, we are in for some fun! In today's conversation, Kyle and Henry discuss: - Kyle's inspiration for his work (The Old Course) - Where architecture has perhaps gone wrong and how he wants to help in the industry's course correction - How he feels about Cabot Citrus so far and what we can expect from some of his original projects that will be opening in the next 12 months.

Two of the great parts of The Masters are the inclusion of the Amateurs as well as past champions in the field. It gives the field texture, half of which being new excitement and half of which being a consistency of players we have seen for years, whether they have any chance of playing well or not. Today we discuss how the old heads stack up against the young guys not playing for a check and who may have the upper hand based on this exact crop of guys as well as what history would tell us to expect from each category. The Main things you can expect today are: - Who is in the amateur and past champion field? - How will each player perform? - Which cohort do we give the upper hand to?

If you were playing competitive golf at my age, you knew who Rachel Heck was. She made it look easy- always has. Despite wrestling mind, body, and soul the last few years, she came back a few weeks ago ready to play. Her freshman season accolades alone fill up a page, and her appearances for professional and team events only brightened the lights. We forget that the people playing at the highest level have to make a choice – is this… it? Is this what I am going to dedicate my life to? Wright Thompson was a memorable guest on The Tie. Wright authored: “The Cost of These Dreams” - a book with a self explanatory title and some cold hard truth on sacrifice. Sometimes there are people who can recognize a trade from good to great before anyone else does. When I think of Rachel’s story I think letting go of pro golf is “the cost of these dreams”. She’s got a goal - golf is part of it, but only a part. Rachel will be right at home in the discomfort that awaits her after graduation. After all, she has chosen to put herself in the uncomfortable, pressurized environments time after time throughout her life. How her relationship with the game evolves will be a fun journey. No doubt, we will be seeing more darts and bombs from her on the amateur side. We hope you all enjoy today's episode!

Round 2 of our MBM pre Masters series! This time we're talking about who CAN as well as who CAN'T win The Masters this year. A lot to think through these days on who our real hitters are as we get to these majors given all the complexity in the golf world. The majors have been made that much more special by the fact that we only get to see the game's best players together a handful of times these days. Today we talk about: - 2 players who will not be winning the jacket. - 8 players who could win the green jacket. - The DERT, our expectations for Cat, and more!

Mike McGraw has spent his entire life as a teacher, mentor, and coach. Starting out in Edmond, OK as a high school teacher and golf coach at the age of 25, moving on to be the assistant at Oklahoma State for a number of years, spending 8 years as the head of the Cowboys, and now as the head at Baylor.  Coach McGraw, as you'll learn in this episode, has as much passion for coaching as anyone I know. He has dedicated his life to making others better whether that is in the classroom, as a golfer, or most importantly as a person. I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with Mike and trust you all will enjoy hearing him as well. This is a good one to share with anyone younger in your life as Mike has a lot of wisdom for how young people should go about navigating their life.
