198: ESPN's Michael Eaves drops by to talk major coverage and more
This episode of Talking GolfGetaways features one of the most respected voices in sports, ESPN's Michael Eaves, who not only anchors the Sportscaster desk but who has become the guiding figure for ESPN's coverage of both The Masters and the PGA Championship. In a fascinating half-hour discussion, Michael joins hosts Mitch Laurance, Darin Bunch and Kris McEwen to recap his recent Masters coverage, from pre-tournament intro shows to post-round player interviews. He then details an experience most golfers will never have, winning the media lottery and not only being able to play Augusta National, but hitting the first tee shot on the Monday morning following Hideki Matsuyama's win at The Masters the day before. It's an emotional story, one that brings in Michael's own journey in golf, as well as his father's place in that journey and in that dream-like day at Augusta National. Michael also touches on his experience of being a part of the re-opening of the historic Augusta municipal course The Patch, detailing the importance of a course that for decades served as a home for black golfers and for the caddies of Augusta National, now a new home for public golf in Augusta, with design work by Tom Fazio and Tiger Woods, and with the support of Augusta National and the City of Aiken.Finally, Michael gets us ready for the next major, The PGA Championship, to be held at historic Aronimink Golf Club outside of Philadelphia, where he will again guide us all through another exciting major week for the game we love.

195: Aiken Golf Course owner Jim McNair, Jr., tells all
A short drive from Augusta, GA is the quaint, beautiful town of Aiken, SC, known for its iconic horse businesses of breeding, training, and showing. It's also home to one of the truly great, historic golf courses in the Southeast, Aiken Golf Course, which in the past couple of years has gone from "Hidden Gem" to "Must Play" for anyone who loves the game., One week after playing, and being enthralled once again by, AGC, Mitch (and Darin and Kris) are joined by AGC owner Jim McNair, Jr., who, along with his father Jim, Sr. before him, have shepherded this affordable, welcoming, and challenging municipal course for 65+ years, and are finally getting the recognition for a lifetime of passion and service to the golf community they so richly deserve. Jim shares the history of his beloved golf course, which dates back to 1912, as well as his father's involvement which began in 1959. He discusses the various challenges and iterations of AGC, leading up to the late '90s and his decision to completely "reawaken" the course, a journey that continues with Jim at the helm on a daily basis. He also shares his involvement with the First Tee and USC Aiken in designing a short-course and pracitce facility wonder, the Chalk Mine 9, a legacy project that serves not only First Tee kids and the USC Aiken golf team, but the AIken community as well.
