3.17: Kevin Smith PGA- Montauk Downs Golf Course
Sunday Jul 28, 2013
Sunday Jul 28, 2013
The easternmost tip of Long Island, Montauk, has long been a favorite summer destination for those of us who call this peninsula home. “The End,” as it has come to be known, has grown tremendously in popularity in the last decade as a vacation spot for many including a huge population descending from Manhattan and most recently New Jersey, in the wake of Sandy. In fact, its season has extended well beyond Memorial Day to Labor Day to include the better part of six months. In addition to its beaches, restaurants, parks and boating opportunities, Montauk is home to one of the best public golf courses on Long Island–Montauk Downs. “The Downs” is both a beauty and a beast. Perhaps not the beast of a Bethpage Black, but from the tips and in high winds, it will no doubt eat your lunch.

3.14 Kate Tempesta- Kate Tempesta's Urban Golf Academy

Teaching isn’t easy. It takes a tremendous amount of passion and patience to effectively communicate something as challenging as the golf swing. Now throw in children with their short attention spans and typical hijinks and now you’re taking things to another level. Golf maybe challenging, but there is no reason why it can’t be fun to learn and few people teach children better than Kate Tempesta. At locations ranging from NYC to Montauk, “fun” is the bedrock of Kate’s teaching philosophy

3.8 Luke Knutson, Superintendent at Rockville Links Club

If you’re one of those people who obsesses over your lawn, take a minute to think about how Luke Knutson feels as Superintendent of the Rockville Links Club. The next time you cut, edge, weed-whack and labor over weeds and insects on your half acre plot, think about what it would take to maintain another 115 acres. Needless to say, you’re going to need more than a green thumb to do this job.

Archive: Season 2 Finale with Bob Bubka- Sirius XM PGA Tour

In this episode Bob Bubka, Woody Lashen, and I talk about the USGA's decision on anchored putting, Shinnecock Hills GC, National Golf Links of America, and golf on Long Island. The golfing world knows Bob Bubka as the voice of the golf world on the SiriusXM PGA Tour channel , but few may know that he grew up in Sag Harbor on the east end of Long Island. Needless to say, Bob is very familiar with all that is great about golf on Long Island. I met Bob at this year’s Barclays tournament at Bethpage and I must say the experience was enlightening. Not only is he a wealth of information about the golf industry and golf on Long Island, but he is a true gentleman as well.
