Under Construction: A day on-site with golf architect Bobby Weed

[@PUSHCUT]

Transitioning the video of roughed in dirt holes to seeded holes is a phenomenal effect. Excellent patience to go back and get the shots for comparison!

[@nolycaboly16]

i liked the seeded holes more than the roughed dirt holes....

[@Wrobs01]

Man I’ve been waiting for a video like this, seeing an architect at work really shows how much thought and work it really takes to make a good golf course

[@olson_]

As a surveyor and golf nut, I really appreciate this kind of content.

[@zztop129]

I hope this is part of a series love when you guys and the Fried Egg bring on the architects

[@chadgill3977]

This is crazy. I love seeing how stuff gets built and how the architect can think and see his vision in the literal dirt. Hard to wrap my mind around.

[@adrianmarkham2457]

Interesting to hear Bobby talk around the 5:30 mark, almost horse whispering the course design. He's either a genius or a complete nightmare to work with! Quite the contrast to the GPS / CAD design effort. Great vid, would love to see more from the drawing board onwards

[@jakescarbrough3850]

as a land surveyor, this kind of foreman is the worst. you have to be able to measure/plan for drainage and when it doesn't flow like it should the surveyor get's blamed. I appreciate his sculptural tendencies, and I'm sure his decades of experience account for all of that, but whoo, what a headache! I'm a North Florida native, and I know just how hard it is to get a course to drain. My summer job in college was on the maintenance crew on a muni in my home town.

You can see his Pete Dye heritage - creating on the ground, the timber sleepers. Great video NLU - thanks!

[@kylegoodman88]

Cant wait to play it. Drive by every day.

[@bcpark4657]

I watch NLU content and listen to the podcast religiously, and I truly love basically all of your guys' stuff. "However," this might be the most interesting short vid you you guys have made. I could easily watch a more in-depth piece covering golf course construction as well. Thanks NLU!

[@georgetown3042]

Agreed!

[@SWW1987]

Couldn't agree more with everyone else. Fantastic content. So interesting to have an architect be bluntly honest about thinking who will be playing the course and taking that into major consideration with the design.

[@TP-fs3uz]

The bunkering here looks so good

[@nkk5019]

Some of the best content NLU has published

[@PMMeiners]

What a great inside in one of the nicest jobs on this planet. These guys are doing a great job 👏🏼

[@austinleclere2187]

So awesome this is one of the best videos NLU has made yet!

[@christianedwards5296]

The production is super impressive

[@DaleFairless]

What an awesome insight into course construction & architecture, really cool to see the bones of a course come together but with an organic and calculated balance. Thanks for the awesome content NLU crew!

[@sbutler66]

LOVED this video, really hope to see more! So interesting and satisfying to see the process and hearing from the architect, plus it was beautifully put together!

[@bcaesar8079]

Love this view of golf course design and thought process on how everything needs to be laid out!

[@jaytucker4338]

That was a great video. They're really birthing a golf course, bringing it to life. Love the insight this offered. Thanks for this Soly.

[@evilgti2000]

This is so awesome to hear thought process and see how the design moves through phasing! Great job guys!

[@jacobmartyniuk8001]

Really awesome video! Every time I watch your videos I wonder how you guys have less than 100k subs. You guys have been so focused on growing the game, you haven’t grown the channel (not through lack of amazing content)! I keep scratching my head after every video. You guys are the best!

[@danbrannon8712]

Agreed their counts are lower than deserved. Still not sure why that is but the glass ceiling is coming down soon baby

[@davehunter3175]

Brilliant Video, more of this please!

[@jacobjeffreygc2604]

7:08 - 7:20 chef's kiss x a million! Great interview and great video production pieman!

[@leecouch9487]

Very cool to see from this prospective. I went to school with his kids and never knew he was an architect.

[@colbywolfe4233]

Thanks for the peek behind the curtain. This will be the Closest golf course to my house but I’m “only” 44 so no membership for this youngin. I believe they are allowing outside play until the community is built out.

[@ryangolfs4902]

This was amazing to see. Love this content.

[@yummystuff238]

NLU vids are just built different

[@scottchapman3507]

This was awesome, that is all!

[@brodiemann78]

this is great stuff- more of that please!

[@dancorun6650]

AMAZING how he can visualize a course from scratch.

[@tracethompson6152]

Need more of this in my life

[@watson956]

Really interesting stuff! If I had a chance to do it all again, I'd have a go at golf course architecture. Another version of this on a property with trees to contend with would be wonderful. Thanks guys! 😎⛳

[@zacksuchecki8375]

Love these videos, great content! Keep em coming

[@CrispyGFX]

Good footage boys

[@detzjets25]

Yall at NLU should try designing your own course on PGA 2k21 Course Design

[@craiglesperance2413]

Love the interview and content. Wonder what type of soil mix they have just before seeding?

[@YOTBOFFICIAL]

Exceptional stuff.

[@brando1937]

This is awesome 👌

[@Jake-zr5zs]

More architecture/construction content!

[@callmecamo2]

"Flexible tined harrow" in Florida, a turdbuster in Oklahoma.

[@Brandon19888]

Whats the cost of the project?

[@9to5golfhughmanning88]

i like it

[@jaytucker4338]

You show me a freshly cooked, juicy cheeseburger.... ...I'll show you an empty wrapper.

[@greyman419]

Sticky. Bobby. Weed.

[@bilwhite4139]

Good lord, this should have been 90 minutes, not 11.

[@brendanaumann6003]

Try and convince me Soly won’t design a course one day, you won’t

[@reurioste]

no travel ghin.
