    Fairways & Lies #2- "The 3 Things Public Courses Need To Fix ASAP"
    May 11 2025

    In this episode of Fairways & Lies, Blake takes a deep dive into the subtle but growing tension between private and public golf in America. Is public golf underfunded by design? Are certain communities being priced out of the game? Blake breaks down the real-world implications of the increasing privatization of golf courses—and what that means for weekend warriors, junior players, and the future of the sport.

    Expect candid thoughts, sharp takes, and personal stories from the muni grind. Whether you’re a die-hard public course loyalist or an unapologetic country club regular, this one’s for you.

    If you love golf but hate the politics, you’re in the right place.
