Around The Met

In Episode 13 of the Around the Met Podcast Powered by Callaway Golf, AJ Voelpel talks with Shinnecock Hills Golf Club Superintendent, Jon Jennings, about the historic course and how him and his team have been preparing for the 2018 US Open. We also solicited questions from the Callaway Community on what they would ask Jon if given the chance. Topics include: - When his team began US Open preparations. - Differences between how the pros will play the course vs. how the members play it. - Restorations made to the greens. - How fast the greens will run. - Biggest challenges his team faced in setting up the course. - How much of a factor the weather will be. - How many additional people have been added to his team. Published monthly, Around The Met is a casual & conversational podcast that touches on the people, courses, championships, events and member services, that make the Met Area one of the best places on earth for golf. Host A.J. Voelpel, Callaway's Creative Content Manager and native Long Islander, will be joined by a special guest every episode.
