On Oregon’s southern coast, where cliffs meet the Pacific and fog rolls through the dunes, stands one of the most celebrated golf destinations in the world, Bandon Dunes.

In this episode of Scrap to Scratch, we walk the fairways of Bandon and explores how one man’s dream reshaped modern golf.

From Mike Keiser’s vision of pure linksland to architect David McLay Kidd’s debut design, this is the story of how Bandon brought golf back to its roots: walking, wind, nature, and the sound of surf.

With history, storytelling, and a few moments from my own round, discover why Bandon Dunes isn’t just a course, it’s a pilgrimage.

It’s Sunday, April 10th, 2005. Tiger Woods stands over a chip on the 16th at Augusta National and what follows is a shot that would echo through golf forever.

In this debut episode of Scrap to Scratch, we break down one of the most iconic moments in sports: how it happened, what it meant, and how it changed everything. From the history of Augusta’s 16th to the shockwaves that followed across Nike, broadcast media, and a generation of players, this is the story behind Tiger’s chip that stopped time.

We'll discuss how and why golf feels different than any other sport, and what chasing a moment like Tiger's does for an entire generation of golfers, myself included.

Featuring storytelling, broadcast moments, and reflection on why this one swing became part of golf’s DNA.
