Welcome back to The Hole Story Podcast! In this episode, Robby and Jonathan dive into part two of their deep-dive on Broomsedge Golf Club in Rembert, South Carolina. This time, they’re joined by Mike Koprowski—the owner, founder, and visionary architect behind Broomsedge, who literally moved dirt himself to bring his dream course to life. Mike offers the inside story on his unconventional path from Air Force vet and policy expert to golf course creator. He shares what inspired his passion for golf architecture, why he chose the sandhills east of South Carolina for Broomsedge, and the wild ride of balancing finances, family, and heavy equipment to build a course that’s already catching national buzz.
