Andy Johnson begins this episode by sitting down with golf's "Mr. Hawaii," Mark Rolfing. Mark, a longtime NBC broadcaster, provides firsthand insight on the state of the golf courses at Kapalua amid a historic drought. With the PGA Tour moving The Sentry away from Kapalua's Plantation Course, Andy and Mark discuss the future of professional golf in Hawaii. Mark also shares stories from his time covering the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black and his work with Coore & Crenshaw at Sand Hills in Nebraska. On the back half of this episode, Andy chats with Don Cross, the longtime superintendent at Skokie Country Club. Don discusses how his job has changed over his 50-year career working turf and how new technology has helped golf course management at Skokie.
