If you’re seriously interested in learning about the principles of golf course design, discussed by the the most important people in the industry, this is currently the #1 podcast on the topic. All killer, no filler.

Derek is very well versed in golf course architecture and has great guests on. If you are interested in learning about golf course architecture, this is a great podcast.

I just love this podcast. Such great conversations about a variety of golf architecture subjects by so many interesting people in the field. Derek is a super interviewer and I enjoy his knowledgeable input also.

Feed the Ball is the best podcast for thought-provoking in-depth discussion on all aspects of golf course architecture. Excellent range of topics and guests.

The best architecture golf podcast out there. Filled with great interviews and insight by the best names in golf design an architecture.

My favorite golf architecture podcast. Derek does a great job.

These podcast cover a wide variety of interviews covering differences of opinion within golf architecture. The best information out there and by far the widest variety of speakers.

Derek combines his own fruitful insight with ELITE experts in the field. A must listen for golf architecture/history enthusiasts!!! Can’t recommend more highly!

Great content, in a conversational format with deep dives featuring some of the leading architects in the game. They strike a great balance between speaking about the profession in technical terms and striving to keep the subject matter accessible for the layman. Time spent listening to these episodes will really enrich your experience on your home golf course, while inspiring the wanderlust required to visit some of the great courses covered in their discussions. Listening to Feed the Ball is time well spent.

Love the content guys!!!!!

Love the interviews and inside information. As well as the history. Would love to see this come out weekly.

Oh my I am easily caught up in this work!!! A great share of your time!! So very interesting!!!

Love your show. When you discuss golf courses, please remember to mention the name of the city and state where the courses are located. Sometimes, I’ve never heard of the course, but I’m trying to learn! Thanks

Derek Duncan is providing the best golf architecture education across any media. Must listen. Diverse view points.

I discovered Feed The Ball and Derek Duncan after he did the NCAA Tournament style golf course competition this spring. Since then I have consumed myself with the content on the podcast and website. I found that Derek and I share an interest in finding out more about the architects and their thought processes from the late 1940s through the 1980s. His explorations in that era have been illuminating. His conversations with the architects in the original format were fascinating and have been enhanced even more by the inclusion of Jim Urbina in the Salon format. I have likened it to a master’s class where you are in a round table with the brightest golf architecture minds living. I look forward to every episode now and get excited whenever the notification for a new episode pops up. I can’t wait to see where Feed The Ball will go next!

Great podcast for serious golf course arch nerds. I enjoy the salon but not really sure what Jim brings to the table to be honest. No hate.

My name is Darryl and I’m a golf junkie. Derek has done a wonderful job of bringing on guests that illuminate golf architecture and its changing role in our game. Well done and please keep it up. Cheers

I really enjoy listening to this podcast. Hearing about Mark Bostick Golf Course at University of Florida, my home Course, was great. Look forward to future episodes!

I don’t ever write reviews for podcasts, but I do think this one is exceptional and deserves praise. The interviews are extensive and expansive. Derek is not afraid to venture off of golf, whether the conversation turn to wine or war. The result is a well-rounded understanding of the people behind the names in golf architecture. You just can’t get that anywhere else. Every interview these people give is replete with discussion of their work. Derek works towards the why of their work, and the person that informs the work. Great work! One suggestion: interview women!

Derek Duncan is emerging as a compelling voice in the increasingly crowded room of golf course architecture analysis. Derek has an engaging interview style and is willing to swim upstream with regularity. The virtual cocktail party chatter surrounding this esoteric topic has become fraught with conformity disguised as “free thinking”. Derek, with Feed the Ball, shows a willingness to pass on the kool aid.

Great podcast that lends insight into a side of the game that does not get enough discussion...the role of architects and course sculptors. Derek ask insightful questions that elicit serious answers from his guests. Derek’s knowledge of history of golf is impressive.

Feed the Ball scratches that golf itch like no other podcast. Derek is remarkable versed on golf history and it shows with great questions and dialogue with the guest. There are some real characters in golf architecture and the way the stories reveal themselves paint a picture of how small the golf world is. If you want to stroll down the fairway before the tees were pushed back, check out this podcast. Psst, Derek, how about a whiskey review at the end of each episode?

Best golf architecture podcast there is! Deep golf conversation, entertaining content, and colorful characters! If you’re like me, you’ll get hooked!!!

Absolutely fantastic interview with Jim. Wide ranging, thoroughly entertaining, laugh out loud funny.

Great long form show, captures the ideas and theories of guests in a conversation form. I thoroughly enjoy the show.

Started listening to Feed the Ball a few weeks ago and loving it. For golf lovers this is a must listen. Keep up the great work and excellent guests. Thank you!

Really fun and informative. Digs deeper into golf than any other show.

Derek is a great interviewer and clearly spends time preparing himself to get the most out of each guest. A must-listen for anyone with an interest in golf course architecture.

This is one of my favorite podcasts. Derek has great guests and the conversations always seem natural and unforced. Listening to this podcast, along with frequenting sites like “The Atlas,” have opened my eyes to things about GCA that I walked right by for years on the golf course without ever giving those features a thought. I’m grateful i found this and will continue to turn my other architecture-nerd friends onto it. Thanks for your hard work DD. Bob

I’m enjoying your podcast. Peter Kessler was a good interview (infomercial?). Keep up the great work.

It’s one of my few go-to podcasts. Derek is well prepared. I always learn something when I listen. Thumbs up

Feed the ball has surpassed the Fried Egg as the #1 podcast for pure golf architecture. The guests are uniformly good; from the biggest names in the field, the up and coming and the under the radar artists in the field of golf course design and construction.

If you like golf architecture, this podcast is a must. It features very good guests, and Derek not only asks intelligent questions, he knows the subject well. The podcast is very well done, and it is my favorite listen on the subject. This is a must listen!

Derek finds intriguing guests in the golf architecture and construction industry show after show. I find myself listening to most episodes 2 or more times. A must listen for golf architecture enthusiasts!

I listen to Feed the Ball daily, perhaps the best podcast dealing with golf architecture. My ears used to to be tuned to music only while shaping golf courses and now find myself listening to Feed the Ball 50% of the time. Keep them coming Derek, I truly enjoy each podcast...

For anyone interested in golf course architecture, Derek’s podcasts offer tremendous insight and plenty of substance.

This has been a great series to listen to - very enlightening. Appreciate Duncan’s willingness to ask the occasional tough question and at the same time being very respectful. The range of guests has been fantastic and doesn’t just cover the “trendy” names that get all of today’s press in architecture circles. Most importantly, I’ve learned a lot by listening

Love the conversations with architects so interesting to hear their insight. I appreciate most all Golf architecture from Golden Age to the Jones’s, Dye and to Doak. Recent interview with unfairly maligned RTJ jr was fascinating. Highly recommend
