The only thing I can guess is the amount he talks about things other than golf in between shots is a lot more than some other golf youtubers with more subscribers. I don’t mind it, but to the average viewer who has the attention span of a squirrel, I can see them getting annoyed and just wanting to see the golf and choosing not to watch his videos next time. He’s great if you ask me though!

I'm from the Northwest Ohio area and my favorite course designer is Arthur Hills (R.I.P. 2021) who is the 6th best course designer of All-Time. Had the absolute pleasure of caddying for his son John when I was a Caddie at the Famous INVERNESS CLUB of Toledo, Ohio from 2015-2016. If you're ever in the OH/MI area he has some really great tracks that should try and play. Keep up the amazing work and great video!

Great video Zac! My fav golf course designers are: Alister Mackenzie and Pete Dye, because of their thorough design of every little hump, angles, and deception of looking wide open from the tees (which it isn't) to looking like a tunnel from the tee yet, opens up dramatically after 100 yards by the latter.
I've played Cascata at least 4 times. Wonderful course and a ton of fun to play. Those greens are some of the best greens I have ever putted. Super quick but pure.
They are bighorn sheep. The cactus is called purple prickly pear. They yield a fruit called “tuna” which can be consumed in a variety of modes. The tuna offer loads of vitamin C and the native Americans used the plant to reduce inflammation. I harvest the tuna, boil them for twenty minutes, and strain the juice. Add cinnamon and honey for taste and you have a nice elixir which helps the joints.

Desert sheep are beautiful animals! And if that's a house, that's crazy. The metal framework, round shape and all the satellite towers make it hard to believe it's a house. But aside from that, great content Zac! You just put this course on a very long bucket list!
Been watching your content for a while now Zac, I used to play golf when I was in high school. Now I’m in college and just started playing again a few months ago. I play about 3-4 times a week and hit on the range about 4 times every week. I have improved my game so much in just a short time. I shoot in the low forty’s and an occasional high 30. Love watching your videos and your tips helped me a lot in fixing my swing and just getting better at the game in general. Keep up the good work. If you’re ever in Arkansas, I’ll have to come watch you play a round.

Driver game was on point Zac! Keep it up and go low on the back nine!
The rocks looked like sandstone with some iron oxide staining.😊 Also, due to the fairly fresh unweathered look of some of the rock behind a few of those tees and greens, it is entirely possible they dynamited them out.

We call that area on view from 3 a dry lake although it's really just a low point in the valley where the rain water collects. Lots of people do off roading and stuff out there. I taught my daughter how to drive there 🤣 Love Pete Dye! Prickly pear cactus 🌵 Great vlog. Was surprised you didn’t spend more time showing the creek that runs through the clubhouse. Can't wait to see how you do on the back nine.
Yes! Love these course vlogs!

Great vid as always! Favorite designer is hard, there's so many but I'd go for a couple of underrated ones: The late Mike Strantz (Tobacco Road) and Rob Collins (Sweetens Cove). Couple of guys designed a back 9 to Sweetens in the PGA2K21 video game and Rob Collins went on a live stream with them and discussed the design as well as the history of the course. Just a genuine guy and Sweetens Cove is def on my bucket list!

I haven't played very many of the big-name course designers, but of the ones I've played I think Pete Dye is my favorite. The only Rees Jones course I've played was Rio Secco, which I think is kind of a sister course to Cascata. I really enjoyed it.

Unfortunately don't have one super close to me at the moment, so playing a Geoffrey Cornish track now, which isn't all that far removed from a Ross course. I dig it.

Again, if you love elevations, the Chautauqua Country Club Hill Course... impossible to walk... and the one par 5 has an elevated tee of over 400 feet, dogleg right. You hit the biggest slice you can and watch it sail forever. Theres also a 310 yard par 4 where your approach is over 150 above your head.
I have to say Pete Dye is a legendary designer, or architect as he’d say. Come play at Whistling Straits, Zac!!!
