Episode 56: Fields Ranch Round Up

Episode 56: Fields Ranch Round UpA special five-person episode recorded live at Omni PGA Frisco, home of the 2027 PGA Championship. Alex and Jason are joined by Andrew (Omni Frisco staff and PGA professional) and Gary, the two dads who joined them for the Fields Ranch round, for a deep dive into what it takes to prepare a modern championship golf course for the biggest stage in golf.Andrew breaks down the East Course's evolution since hosting the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship and the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, what's physically changing on property before May 2027, how agronomy and PGA officials collaborate on course setup, and why architect Gil Hanse intentionally designed uneven tee boxes to keep players uncomfortable on every shot. They also talk about pace-of-play management at a resort course pushing 180+ rounds a day, and the behind-the-scenes logistics of converting the clubhouse into player facilities for the championship.The back half shifts into real talk: what it means to be a present father in different parenting styles, coaching your own kids, letting kids explore sports instead of specializing too early, and finding time for golf (or any personal outlet) as a busy dad. Plus a fun recap of their record-setting round — the first documented YouTube group to play from the true PGA Championship tees.Our Links: https://linktr.ee/scramblingdads Scrambling Dads Podcast is a production of Poppy Verde, LLC (https://linktr.ee/poppyverde) Partnerships:Integrity Golf Performancewww.igp.com Music: www.djbavi.com
