Jim Fazio, legendary course designer on The Country Club of Oxford, a new project
This in-depth interview was conducted for a video we were hired to produce for The Country Club of Oxford, in Oxford, Mississippi. The job was to create a short Membership Recruitment sales piece that featured Fazio on his design, a Troon Golf executive on how they will manage the facility and the two owners of the course. Because Jim agreed to let us use this interview for a GOLF SMARTER podcast, we got into depth about some topics that clearly wouldn't be necessary for the video, but was consistent with the show's topic. We were lucky to get inside the head of a design legend. For me, it felt like a graduate seminar on golf course design and we had a lecturer who is an industry icon. You can see the finished video at thecountryclubofoxford.com

The Course at Wente Vineyards shot strategy with Director of Golf, Chris Conway
The Course at Wente Vineyards in Livermore, CA is the only Greg Norman designed course in Northern California. Host Fred Greene interviews Director of Golf Chris Conway. Chris offers insight on the playing strategy of six holes he feels could benefit from local knowledge, covering one par 3 (#7) and five par 4s (#2, #8, #10, #13 & #18). The Course at Wente Vineyards will host its first Nationwide Tour Stop for the Livermore Valley Wine Country Championships March 30-April 2, 2006, and will have the event repeated over the next 4 years.

You'll also get information on the practice facilities, how to get a free round on your birthday, bonus offers to Club Wente members, which portable GPS systems are available for this course, and what clubs to avoid to help lower your scores. golf.com/golf/proto/wentegolf/images/leftnav_header_golflogo.gif" height="40" width="73" /> TeeTour(TM), the shot by shot course strategy DVD featuring all 18 holes of The Course at Wente Vineyards are available at www.teetour.com.
