How did forklifts drive Paul Albanese into a career in golf course design? Learn that and much more in this interview. Paul discusses modern trends in course design, how the design business has changed, and why remodeling a course is more difficult than building a new one.
NOTE: We had a technical issue with the recording, so Paul’s answers and Matt’s questions frequently overlap. We apologize for the issue, but had no way to fix it. We wanted to put out the episode anyway because Paul offers such great insight into golf course design.
