In this episode, we explore the stories of two Golf Courses that closed their doors during the Golf boom: Ravenaux Country Club (Spring, TX) and Sherwood Forest Country Club (Baton Rouge, LA). Alex Lidback shares his perspective as a former member of Ravenaux. Frank Gumpert is a PGA Professional who and former Head Pro at Sherwood Forest. Both Alex and Frank bring their perspectives on what happened at their clubs and whether these are cautionary stories for the growth of Golf more broadly.
