  • The Best Course in the World Is a Par 66

    The Best Course in the World Is a Par 66
    2026/08/31
    Jim Hartsell will tell you the best golf course in the world is 4,800 yards and a par 66. He is not being cute about it. He would like you to come after him.In this episode of The Bag Drop: Untold Stories in Golf, host Matt Considine and co‑host Dr. Kevin Moore (a.k.a. “The Professor”) sit down with Jim Hartsell — architect, three-time Bag Drop guest, and author of A Round of Scottish Courses — for a conversation about what thirty years of returning to the same small Scottish clubs teaches you about why golf places matter, and what a golfer owes a place once he starts telling everyone about it.The conversation dives into:Why Dunaverty — 4,800 yards, par 66 — is his answer to "best course in the world," and why he thinks the question is usually asked wrongWhat choosing eighteen favorites instead of eighteen best freed him to write — and how a chapter actually gets built, including the sheepdog trials that unlocked a lost course on ArranThe night the Old Course put a flag on the 18th green made from a drawing his nine-year-old son had left on his laptopThe green-fee trap: why North Berwick and Brora keep going up, and why tour operators refuse to take a £30 course seriouslyWhether writing about Dunaverty, Askernish and Isle of Harris is quietly changing them — and what the members themselves say about thatThree rules for being a good guest at a Scottish club, including the one about tipping too muchConnect with our guests📚 Jim Hartsell — https://jhartsellgolf.com — 🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/JimHHartsell](https://x.com/JimHHartsell) | 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimhartsell/📕 A Round of Scottish Courses (Back Nine Press) — https://back9press.com/products/a-round-of-scottish-courses🎧 The Duffer's Literary Companion (Jim & Stephen Proctor) — https://tdlcpodcast.podbean.comJoin the NewClub community🌍 Website: https://www.newclub.golf📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/newclubgolf/🐦 X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/newclubgolf📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@newclubgolf💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/newclubLinks & Partners🐝 NewClub: https://www.newclub.golf🏌️ Titleist: https://www.titleist.com🌐 Golf Blueprint: https://www.golfblueprint.comListen to The Bag Drop🎧 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bag-drop-untold-stories-in-golf/id1430328006🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2xRWtUBJH8RazdLw14oaGH 🎧 Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/633c8703-5880-4522-bd6d-5967b45fc777/the-bag-drop-untold-stories-in-golfConnect with Matt & The Professor🎙️ Matt Considine — 🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/consequential85 | 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/consequence18/ | 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-considine-103bb21/📚 Dr. Kevin Moore ("The Professor") — 🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/kevcmoore | 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kevcmoore | 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-moore-177b30b3/🗣️Contribute to the show! — 📧 email: thebagdrop@newclub.golfChapters00:00 Cold open: the anticipation is half the fun00:41 Welcome, and the Professor's new office02:16 A love letter to the game: who your club introduces you to03:01 Caddie School for Soldiers and thirty days at the Home of Golf04:31 Jim Hartsell, third appearance, third book06:34 Professor's teaching: quiet eye and gaze duration11:29 Ad read: Titleist T-Series and the three Ds13:52 Three books, one thread15:09 The course gets you in the room; a person carries the story16:32 The high school English teacher who started all this19:31 Calling Rob Collins with a crazy idea23:29 Fifty interviews, an outline, and meeting Jim Sitar26:40 The books that made him: Wind, Bamberger, Morton, MacVicar31:18 When Revelation Comes, and the notebook that read like a book35:25 Patric Dickinson's eighteen best, and Jim's eighteen favorite38:53 Dunaverty is the best course in the world: 4,800 yards, par 6642:07 Soup, clubhouses, and the whole lived experience45:40 Sheepdog trials, and when history earns its place in a chapter49:56 What do you have against the Scottish east coast?51:44 Frankfurt, a lost day, and a morning inside the R&A54:33 Dark hours on the Old with a persimmon driver56:52 The flag on the eighteenth green1:00:35 Why the most famous place in golf did not have to do that1:02:21 Does writing about these places change them?1:06:40 North Berwick, Brora, and being too cheap to be taken seriously1:07:46 Would the veneer wear off if you moved there?1:12:14 Three rules for being a good guest (and don't over-tip)1:14:41 Calendars, course guides, and Jordan's junior program1:19:27 Close: subscribe, review, and the Titleist T-Series

  • 3D-Printed Putters and the Science of Feel

    3D-Printed Putters and the Science of Feel
    2026/08/17
    What happens when a guy with a Wall Street background decides he’d rather make putters than climb the corporate ladder? For Al Vikmanis, the answer has been a winding path through Arccos, data analytics, custom putter design, metal 3D printing, ferrules, and whatever comes next. The common thread is a willingness to follow the rabbit hole wherever it leads, and a belief that the journey itself is the point.In this episode of The Bag Drop: Untold Stories in Golf, host Matt Considine and co‑host Dr. Kevin Moore (a.k.a. “The Professor”) sit down with Al Vikmanis, Founder of 3DP Design to talk about the science and craft behind modern golf equipment, from why MOI matters in a putter to how sound actually becomes feel, why 3D printing opens up design possibilities traditional manufacturing can't, and why a ferrule can become a surprisingly personal piece of golf gear. Along the way, he gets candid about leaving Wall Street, embracing work that feels meaningful, learning from spectacular failures, and building a career around curiosity rather than a five-year plan.The conversation dives into:Al's early days at Arccos, helping turn enormous amounts of shot data into something golfers could actually useMOI explained without the engineering degree, including why more forgiveness isn't automatically better for every golferHow sound becomes feel in a putter, and why putting with headphones on might be costing you more than you realizeThe unlikely path from smuggling putters into a Wall Street office to teaching himself CAD and eventually 3D printing golf clubsWhy custom ferrules have become a form of personal expression, more like putting stickers on a skateboard than simply changing the cosmetics of a golf clubThe failures behind Al's work, including a collection of enormous 3D-printed mallets that looked like the Starship Enterprise and sounded like tuning forksConnect with our guestsAl Vikmanis — 💼 https://www.linkedin.com/in/al-vikmanis-3755671/🌍 Website: https://3dp-design.com/📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/3dp_design/👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083121141361#Follow The Bag Drop📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebagdrop 🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/thebagdropgolf 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBagDropGolfListen to The Bag Drop🎧 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bag-drop-untold-stories-in-golf/id1430328006🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2xRWtUBJH8RazdLw14oaGH🎧 Transistor: https://thebagdrop.transistor.fm/Join the NewClub community🌍 Website: https://www.newclub.golf📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/newclubgolf/🐦 X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/newclubgolf📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@newclubgolf💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/newclubSupport our Partners🐝 NewClub: https://www.newclub.golf🏌️ Titleist: https://www.titleist.com🌐 Golf Blueprint: https://www.golfblueprint.com Connect with Matt & The Professor🎙️ Matt Considine — 🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/consequential85 | 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/consequence18/ | 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-considine-103bb21/📚 Dr. Kevin Moore ("The Professor") — 🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/kevcmoore | 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kevcmoore | 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-moore-177b30b3/Chapters00:40 - Welcome to The Bag Drop11:08 - Al Vikmanis joins the show12:12 - From Arccos data to custom putter design18:51 - What Al learned from working at an early-stage startup21:03 - Leaving Wall Street and finding meaningful work24:21 - MOI explained30:33 - Why sound is feel34:11 - How Al got into making putters37:44 - Why custom 3D-printed equipment doesn't scale41:20 - How metal 3D printing actually works43:32 - Where 3D printing fits into the future of golf equipment47:20 - The early failures of 3D-printed putters51:08 - Learning from bad ideas54:09 - How Al and Patrick Boyd started working together56:52 - Why golfers love custom ferrules59:24 - Ball markers, divot tools, and personal expression1:02:21 - The creative side of Al Vikmanis1:10:53 - What's in Al's golf bag1:18:12 - What comes next for golf equipment1:20:12 - “The journey is the point”What is The Bag Drop?The Bag Drop features weekly stories from the culture, community and characters shaping golf today.

    Building the Gilroy: Old Barnwell's Second Course
    2026/08/10
    What does a piece of land owe the people around it once the golf stops paying for itself?In this episode of The Bag Drop: Untold Stories in Golf, host Matt Considine and co‑host Dr. Kevin Moore (a.k.a. “The Professor”) sit down with Blake Conant (golf course architect; co-designer of Old Barnwell and the Gilroy) to talk about the second course he is building in the dirt right now — and the master's thesis he wrote a decade earlier arguing that some golf courses should stop being golf courses.The conversation dives into:Why a painting degree and three months running equipment with Tom Doak at Dismal River turned out to be the right education for golf architectureBuilding the Gilroy next door to a course everybody already loves, and the Snoop Dogg rule Blake uses to keep from chasing itThe 90-acre parcel Nick Schreiber bought so the routing would work, and why Blake says architects are simply greedyA kids course with a tunnel and a ramp, built on Brian Schneider's premise that kids do not actually want to puttThe 2013 thesis on bankrupt courses: what Blake got right about supply, what he missed about demand, and why the courses that closed were the wrong onesThe arithmetic that decides whether affordable public golf gets built at all — roughly ten dollars of green fee for every million spentConnect with our guest🎨 Blake Conant — https://www.dundeegolf.com/ 🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/Dundee_Golf — | 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dundeegolf/ | 💼 https://www.linkedin.com/in/blake-conant-90566a37/ ⛳️ Old Barnwell — https://oldbarnwell.comJoin the NewClub community🌍 Website: https://www.newclub.golf📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/newclubgolf/🐦 X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/newclubgolf📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@newclubgolf💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/newclubLinks & Partners🐝 NewClub: https://www.newclub.golf🏌️ Titleist: https://www.titleist.com🌐 Golf Blueprint: https://www.golfblueprint.comListen to The Bag Drop🎧 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bag-drop-untold-stories-in-golf/id1430328006🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2xRWtUBJH8RazdLw14oaGH🎧 Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/633c8703-5880-4522-bd6d-5967b45fc777/the-bag-drop-untold-stories-in-golf🎧 Transistor: https://thebagdrop.transistor.fm/Connect with Matt & The Professor🎙️ Matt Considine — 🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/consequential85 | 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/consequence18/ | 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-considine-103bb21/📚 Dr. Kevin Moore ("The Professor") — 🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/kevcmoore | 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kevcmoore | 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-moore-177b30b3/🗣️Contribute to the show! — 📧 email: thebagdrop@newclub.golfChapters00:00 "Make sure your first one is your worst one"00:49 Welcome, and kudos to the R&A for actually enforcing the rules04:19 Who Blake Conant is, and how the Professor found him07:45 Teaching of the week: "Build a Course Today" and the overbuild09:30 Titleist Vokey SM1111:11 Conant, Conant, or Conan the Barbarian12:18 House paint, big canvases, and actually selling art14:44 Art school to landscape architecture to Dismal River17:42 The doubts he probably should have had19:20 Following Old Barnwell: the Snoop Dogg rule20:53 Was a second course always the plan?23:12 Nick Schreiber, and hiring people you then leave alone27:19 The kids course: they don't actually want to putt29:56 Tunnels, ramps, and a train that isn't there yet30:37 Who the Gilroy is for, and greens that sit on the ground33:11 Still testing the good player, just differently34:41 Buying the purple parcel37:09 Buy the land before anybody knows you're building38:59 The 2013 thesis on bankrupt golf courses41:58 What are we measuring: social, environmental, economic47:39 The wrong courses closed48:58 Repurposing, HOAs, and grand ideas that don't pencil51:05 Should a new project pass the test before opening day?52:49 Golf as a Trojan horse: programming, foundation, community55:45 Aiken's building boom and a healthy kind of competition59:38 The public course he'd like to build without donors1:03:49 Wrap and thanksWhat is NewClub?Founded in 2017, NewClub is the premier private golf society in the United States.
