Description
After the final putt dropped in the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge, Gil Hanse and his team began an ambitious project: a "historical restoration" of Colonial Country Club to prepare it in time for the 2024 playing of the tournament. Smylie Kaufman is joined by both Gil, and four-time PGA Tour winner + Colonial member Ryan Palmer to discuss all of the changes made to return the course to its more rugged and natural roots with the 1941 U.S. Open as a reference point. Smylie and Charlie Hulme then conclude the show with their one-and-done picks for the tourney. In addition to photos provided by Gil, our YouTube episode features footage gathered by the @PGATOUR and @FriedEggGolf from two awesome videos worth watching to prepare for the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge.
