State Of The Game Podcast 39: Ran Morrissett

Yes, two weeks and two State of the Games. Last week's chat with Richard Gillis was excellent in case you missed it, and this week we welcome another one of the game's brightest people in Ran Morrissett, co-founder of GolfClubAtlas.com, a member of the Cabot Links team and one of the most trustworthy critics of golf architecture on the planet.

As a resident of Southern Pines, North Carolina, Ran kicks off our discussions about Pinehurst and the golf mecca that it is as the U.S. Open is less than three weeks away.

As always, iTunes is a super place to listen or download episode 39, or you can subscribe there, or if you haven't been sucked into the Apple ecosystem, there's always the option to download it as an MP3 or listen below.

Viral Video Wrap From Morning Drive: Snow Golf Too

From studio AP Gary Williams and yours truly summed up the week in fun internet videos. (Tune in Monday for a three hour Morning Drive, Nicolas Colsaerts is scheduled and I'll be in studio the whole way.)

We added this one of snow golf from Edmonton's Glendale Golf And Country Club. At the 1:17 mark there's a wicked snowball and face plant in the wet cold stuff.
