Our guests in this episode are two-thirds of a trio of midwestern friends who spent 44 hours in the Bethpage (NY) State Park earlier this summer for an opportunity to play its famed Bethpage Black Golf Course, site of the 2025 Ryder Cup.
We learn about how the trip came to be, the devastation when they realized what was supposed to be one night in the parking lot was going to be two, and what the feeling of finally playing the course was like.
The adventure was made all the more memorable was when they were featured in a profile in the Washington Post (behind a paywall here).
