To those of you listening to this upon release, please forgive the extra week for release. The Society of Golf Historians had an amazing golf history trip to Scotland and I was worn out.

I am so proud of Part 2 of the Lost History of Alexander Findlay. A very special thank you to author and historian, William Casto joining us. In this episode we kick off discussing Findlay's role in the Vardon Invasion of the US and end discussing his prolific design career. Enjoy the show!

We are joined by author, William Casto to discuss his new book: "The Ambassador: Alexander Findlay and Pioneer Golf in America," to discuss the history of this forgotten giant in the game of golf. This is a two part podcast about one of the gentlemen golfers who can lay claim to being called one of the Johnny Appleseed's of American Golf.
