Welcome to a truly special episode of The Hole Story Podcast! This week, Robby and Jonathan sit down with Tom Ferrell, the engaging VP of Media and Communications for Dream Golf. Tom’s journey taps into golf’s deep roots—from his first swings as a kid in Waycross, Georgia, to his serendipitous meeting with Robby & Jonathan on the legendary putting green at the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland.

Together, they dive into Tom’s winding path through golf: playing and writing about the game, his Southern upbringing, a stint following the Grateful Dead, and eventually landing a dream role with Dream Golf, the visionary company behind Bandon Dunes, Sand Valley, and the ever-expanding network. Tom reflects on the stories behind new projects like Rodeo Dunes and Wild Spring, the art of blending old-school charm with new course experiences, and what it really means to create destinations that golfers the world over add to their bucket lists.

There’s plenty of warmth, storytelling, and inside scoop here—including tales from Scotland, memorable golf shots, and the camaraderie that makes the game so special. Whether you’re an architecture buff, a dreamer, or just in it for the people and pints, you’ll appreciate Tom’s thoughtful insights and contagious enthusiasm for golf’s next chapter...and you might find yourself dreaming up your own pilgrimage to one of Dream Golf’s unforgettable courses!
