For a long time, we’ve wanted to do an in-depth exploration of the Sand Hills Golf Club, Coore & Crenshaw’s masterpiece in Mullen, Nebraska. The day has finally arrived: this episode’s guest, David Normoyle, has just released an excellent book on the history of Sand Hills called “Lonely Beauty.” David takes Garrett through both the fine details and the overarching meanings of the Sand Hills story: the initial leap of faith by the club’s founder, Dick Youngscap; the sneaky-bold design innovations of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw; and the lessons that today’s developers and architects should — but maybe haven’t yet — learned from this pathbreaking yet humble project. To purchase your own copy of “Lonely Beauty,” visit Sand Hills’ online shop here.
