PODCAST DAY is here, with our guest from the Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst North Carolina, Executive Vice President Matt Massei.

IT’S A BUSY TIME in Pinehurst with the opening of the new Course #10 only days away, and the U.S. Open now less than 90 days out.

Construction projects are still on-going as the resort readies for the national championship of golf.

MASSEI HAS BEEN at Pinehurst for over 25 years, and was the first head golf professional at Course #8. Shortly afterwards Massei became the resorts Director of Golf, before moving on to two other properties. A few years ago Massei returned to Pinehurst as EVP, and right hand man to resort President Tom Pashley.

LAST WEEK MASSEI took a break from various meetings that were calling his name, to sit down with Golfers on Golf, and talk everything Pinehurst.

Topics ranged from the new Course #10, to the U.S. Open, the ongoing renovations of the landmark Carolina Hotel, the next Course, #11 with Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, and how the resort still has a full punch-list of improvements in it’s next five-year masterplan. Being a USGA anchor site, and home to the returning World Golf Hall of Fame and more.

No questions or topics were off the record-so it was a grip it and rip it session.
