Featured Interns: The Scotsmen / Rory Campbell And Fraser Johnston

September 26, 2018 by Bandon Dunes

Rory Campbell has a simple way of crystallizing the differences between golf in the United States and his native Scotland.

“It’s all match play and public golf,” Campbell, 20, describes golf in his home country.

Admittedly, Rory and his friend Fraser Johnston are just learning the intricacies of American golf, which is the very point of why they are at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in the first place. Campbell and Johnston — who are both studying professional golf management at University of the Highlands and Islands near famed Royal Dornoch — arrived together in May as interns in Bandon Dunes’ professional golf management internship program.

It has been a whirlwind: Beginning when they received their visas in May and four days later boarded a flight from Glasgow to Eugene, Ore. — via Philadelphia and San Francisco, and then rerouted thanks to a delay, through Seattle. But the experience has been as enriching as it has been eye-opening, they both say.

One thing, though, has truly baffled them — Americans’ preference for stroke play.

“Match play is just far more inclusive,” explains the 21-year-old Johnston. “If you have a buddy who is just taking up golf, you can play against him in a competitive match. In stroke play, it wouldn’t be competitive at all. Match play is HUGE for keeping interested in the game. I don’t want to go out and shoot 120.”

“More people here go out and have to take a ‘9’ and actually have to hit all the shots,” Campbell adds. “But if I lose a hole in match play, I just go on to the next hole. Even when I play with my dad on a weekend game, we play match play. It was always more competitive and inclusive that way.”

As competitive golfers at their university — which in Scotland is more akin to a college club program than the more formal NCAA-sanctioned athletic programs in the U.S. — Campbell and Johnston know their way around a match. But neither are at Bandon Dunes or university to sharpen their playing skills.

Both are preparing for a career in golf — Rory as a club professional and Fraser with an eye toward golf course design. And they are at Bandon Dunes to soak up everything they can about resort golf in the United States at a place much larger in scale than anything they would find back home.

“I realized I wasn’t a good enough player to play professionally, so I went to Royal Dornoch and joined the golf management program,” Campbell says.

The seed of golf was planted early. Johnston grew up in the small inland town of Paisley, not far from Glasgow. Campbell was raised in the self-described “wee village of Inveraray,” about 60 miles northwest of Paisley.

Their introduction to golf as young children might not be what Americans would envision for a young Scotsman. Both grew up playing tiny parkland-style courses that would often be bogged down by the moisture of the climate.

It wouldn’t be until they began to compete as they got older that they began to immerse themselves in the links game that was born in the cradle of golf.

“Even growing up it was links golf over parkland. I always hit a low ball flight and I loved the chance,” Johnston says. “The ball is never dead until it stops. You can hit a good shot and it ends up in a bunker. I like that feel game instead of just hitting a 152 yard shot and it lands 152. I enjoy the guesswork.”

As their roots grew deeper, they became more intrigued by the golf business as a career. Those interests would become easier to pursue when the university in Dornoch launched the first PGM program in Scotland.

The golf industry in Scotland is different than the U.S. Golf tends to be public and easily accessible, the resorts that are there tend to be smaller than their U.S. counterparts.

They had already come to know Bandon Dunes by reputation. Then they became more familiar through the process of Mr. Keiser and his partners in trying to open Coul Links, a proposed links course designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw in the northern section of Scotland. Impressed with a Coul Links presentation by Coore, Campbell, and Johnston also became intrigued by Bandon Dunes.

Still, the Oregon Coast was an ocean and a continent away.

“We talked about Bandon Dunes in class as an example of one of the top resorts,” Campbell says. “Then our lecturers went to the PGA Merchandise Show in Florida and met a contact at Penn State’s PGM program who told them about Bandon Dunes’ internship program. That helped open the door to the idea.”

Though they had worked at Royal Dornoch, for two budding golf professionals the opportunity to work at a golf resort the size of Bandon Dunes was irresistible.

“I’ve never worked anywhere with the scale of this,” Johnston says. “Clubs back home you have your golf pro, you have your secretary. You don’t even have a caddy master. But here you have a caddy department. You have a management department. You have golf professionals and a retail department. It’s just a massive, massive operation, and something that I hadn’t experienced ever.”

They were eventually awarded positions in Bandon Dunes’ internship program, which typically includes a little more than a dozen interns at a given time. Even a laborious visa process couldn’t stop them.

They arrived in May and the experience so far has been a combination of hard work, rigorous education, and a fair amount of fun on the course, usually playing once or twice a week. (Though not much travel, since neither has a car).

“The golf and people have been great,” Johnston says. “There are different quarks in the culture, but I’m sure people think we have different quarks in our culture. We drive on the wrong side of the road … things like that.”

What other quarks?

“Anything from language, to food, to driving,” he adds. “There are different ways to say things, different ways to do things.”

The pace of play in the U.S. seems a bit less a priority, too.

“Back home you get your foursome, you go out and play in less than four hours, you pick up if you’re making double bogey, you’d get around … then drink after and talk about it,” says Johnston.

“And you’d play match play,” Campbell interjects.

The golf business is different, too.

Rotating every three months, Campbell got his start in the ever-busy Bandon Dunes golf shop before moving to Bandon Trails. Johnston started at Old Macdonald and is now in the Bandon Dunes shop.

And a few things have struck them, including how Bandon Dunes treats its guests and the service Bandonistas have come to expect.

I have in-depth conversations with guests multiple times a day," Campbell says. "Conversations about links golf, what it is like working here. Bandon's guests seem really excited to know more about the resort and a lot of Americans are really interested in what it’s like compared to back home.”

They also find familiarity in the links golf. Bandon Dunes, the favorite of Campbell, is exhilarating, he says. Old Macdonald, the favorite of Johnston, plays particularly close to the Scottish links he finds at home.

“I’ve not been bored on it yet,” he says of Old Mac. “I’ve not played the same round yet, and I don’t think I will. I don’t lose balls. And I’m usually good at keeping the ball on the ground rather than the air. Yeah, I like Old Mac.”

Campbell's parents visited recently, which afforded them both a chance to see more of Oregon and beyond. So far the experience has been rewarding enough that they are both considering the possibilities of extending their stays in the U.S., or if not, returning someday soon.

“So far it’s been great,” Johnston says. “We're lucky to be here learning and I don’t have a bad word to say.”

Crafting Your Perfect Trip

September 22, 2018 by Jeff Simonds

When is the best time to play Bandon Dunes if you want to see the sunset? What’s the best rotation for a newcomer? What months are the calmest? Bandon Dunes’ Director of Resort Operations, Jeff Simonds, has been asked all the questions by newcomers and veterans alike. Planning the perfect Bandon Dunes itinerary is really dependent on what your goals are, Simonds explains. “The best time to come is when it fits in your schedule,” he says. With that in mind, the 14-year veteran of the resort offers his Bandon insights gleaned from his time at the resort interacting with tens of thousands of guests.

As seen in Bandon Dunes Magazine.

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO BECOME ACCLIMATIZED TO BANDON DUNES?

If you’ve never been here before, one of the more enjoyable ways to understand Bandon is to start on the 13-hole Bandon Preserve. You get the firm turf, the tight lies, the big greens, and the great ocean views. You’re going to be excited to finally play Bandon, and you’ll have the opportunity to be creative with your putts and pitches. We also allow up to an eight-some on the Preserve so it is a great start to catch up with your buddies who don’t live near you.

WHAT’S THE BEST COURSE TO PLAY IN THE MORNING?

Old Macdonald is the course that is most exposed to the elements. So, if you’re trying to avoid the wind as much as you can, then you’d play it in the morning and then Bandon Trails in the afternoon.

WHAT’S THE BEST COURSE TO PLAY IN THE EVENING?

For an epic day, you’ll want to finish on Bandon Dunes or Pacific Dunes so the round ends in the evening—the sunsets are truly incredible. But they are great to play in the morning when you are waking up with the golf course and you can smell the ocean and hear the waves as they are crashing— that’s pretty good as well. However, it is also great to play Pacific in a morning and then another day in the afternoon because the courses will play very differently. You want to see how they change from the morning to the afternoon and you’ll see how links golf changes throughout the day. A 440-yard par four can be driver and a 3-wood in the morning, but only a driver and mid-iron in the evening. It is about understanding the conditions.

WHAT MONTHS OF THE YEAR ARE THE CALMEST?

Mid-July through the end of September is the calmest and predictable days out here. But you can get 70 degrees and calm any day of the year. If you’re playing the odds, that 90-day stretch through September is probably your best option. Our predominant wind changes in April and May, then back in October and November—you’ll see stronger links conditions and a lot of people love that.

IS THERE A PERFECT FOUR-DAY BANDON TRIP?

There are many ways to craft the perfect four-day Bandon trip. It all depends on where you are in your life and how you define the perfect experience. The perfect trip for me is to play 18 on the first day at Bandon Dunes so you can see the sunset. You’re also going to want to have a caddie for the first course when you play it the first time—it’ll help immensely. Then on the full days, I’d be sure to play multiple rounds to take advantage of our replay rates and find time in my itinerary to enjoy the Preserve and Punchbowl. Finish with 18 or an early Preserve round on the departure day. You’ll be pleasantly worn out. And often you’ve messed up a hole and you want to go back and test it again. This way you have that opportunity to play two courses twice, and you spend four days absorbing everything at Bandon.

SHOULD I BOOK A CADDIE?

Caddies are really an essential part of the experience. Your GPS might say you have 220 yards into a green, but depending on how it is playing, it could be 275, or 150. Our caddies really know the course and the conditions and they can tell you so much about how each course is playing depending on the weather. They really are key. Out here you’re playing chess—not checkers.

DO I HAVE TO BOOK REPLAYS?

Mike Keiser has set it up so that if we’re sold out from a lodging perspective, there’s always golf inventory. He likes to play quickly and he made sure that it doesn’t feel too busy when we’re full. With that in mind, on most days we try to get everyone out by 11 am, which allows players to replay in the afternoon. There’s no penalty if you book 36 and are too tired to play that afternoon. We recommend people just book it and we’ll roll with the changes.

Two Decades of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort

August 10, 2018 by Bandon Dunes

David McLay Kidd thinks back to when he first started conceiving the design that would become Bandon Dunes. Created and built over 1997 and 1998, Kidd finds it hard to imagine that nearly 20 years have gone by since Bandon Dunes opened to the public. But one thing is for certain: the Bandon Dunes that Kidd designed in the late 1990s was very different from the version currently being played.

As seen in Bandon Dunes Magazine.

EVOLVING PHILOSOPHY

Change has occurred for Kidd as well. The success of Bandon Dunes put him on the map as a designer, commanding commissions all over the world, from Hawaii to Asia. Over time he altered some of his design philosophy, creating courses that were more complex and challenging.

Then in 2014, Kidd created a course called Gamble Sands in Washington that featured wide fairways with an emphasis on playability. In many ways, it was a move that harkened back to Kidd’s early design days at Bandon. This year, Kidd returns to work with the Keiser family to open Mammoth Dunes at Sand Valley, another of the Dream Golf facilities run by Bandon Dunes’ owner Mike Keiser. It also features significant width—an element Kidd says started at Bandon Dunes.

“People have said how wide the mown grass areas are at Mammoth Dunes, but truthfully there are more short grass areas at Bandon Dunes,” he says, noting there are 110 acres of short grass at Bandon versus 107 at Mammoth Dunes. “I think width gives the player confidence, which is why a lot of people enjoy Bandon.”

Links golf is constantly evolving, constantly changing as Mother Nature alters the course. —David McLay Kidd

TWEAKING GREATNESS

While there’s been a regular spot for Bandon Dunes in the Top 100 in the world since it opened, Keiser and Kidd recognized that even the best could be a touch better. With that in mind, he has set upon making slight alterations to three holes—11, 15, and 17. In some instances, the changes were made to adjust the holes based on the way they played for Bandon visitors, while others were altered to have them fit with Kidd’s initial strategies.

On the 11th hole, for example, Kidd felt the bunkers on the left pushed golfers too much towards the right gorse from where they could not recover and played into the hands of big hitters who would blast drives up to the right rough.

“What I had to do is lessen the defense on the left-hand side so people couldn’t avoid my strategy, because that’s what they were doing,” Kidd says.

Kidd also altered the mid-length 15th, changing some mounding on the left, which kicked running shots into the sprawling bunker in front of the green.

“There was nowhere to miss,” Kidd explains. “Mike allowed me to reduce the mounds that were six feet high and steep to 18 inches high and soft. It is important that visitors to Bandon realize that the hole isn’t easier to make birdie. But now making double-bogey takes a lot more screw-ups.”

The other element that has changed at Bandon Dunes is the gorse. The battle with the thorny bushes is ongoing, and it has been removed, only to grow back nastier than previously.

“People have different takes on the gorse,” Kidd says. “But how they perceive the course often depends on what they think of the gorse. It is fascinating to see.”

STANDING THE TEST OF TIME

Sometimes, despite the changes to the game brought about by new equipment, a golf hole simply stands the test of time. Kidd points to the 14th as an example. Only 359 yards from the tips, and 332 yards for most mortals, the hole appears benign. Kidd says many people look past the hole. After all, you can’t see the ocean on it, and the land is relatively flat. But a little pot bunker placed strategically near where many hit their drives wreaks havoc on many golfers.

“The tee shot dictates everything there,” Kidd says. “There’s a cross-wind that makes it particularly challenging to find the right line and I’ve played that hole with a lot of golfers who can’t figure out what went wrong for them.”

As for Kidd, the hole isn’t an issue. “I know exactly BANDON DUNES—HOLE 16 where to hit my driver,” he says with a laugh.

CHANGES TO BANDON DUNES Pt. 1, AN INTERVIEW WITH DAVID MCLAY KIDD

June 18, 2018 by Bandon Dunes

David McLay Kidd’s work at Bandon Dunes is never quite done, something the architect, who designed the original course nearly 20 years ago does not at all seem to mind. Kidd recently returned to adjust the 11th, 15th, and 17th holes at Bandon Dunes. Each he says needed a tune-up to return them to their original strategic intent. We caught up with David recently in his DMK Golf Design office, set in his adopted hometown of Bend, Ore., about 250 miles northeast of Bandon, to talk about the changes and some of his other thoughts about Bandon Dunes. Below is an abridged version of the interview. To read our 2014 interview with David McLay Kidd, click here.

What was the impetus of the changes at the 11th, 15th, and 17th holes?

The nature of any golf course is that they adapt, they morph, because of maintenance practices, golfers, and especially the weather over on the coast. So over the last two or three years, I’ve been over at Bandon thinking, ‘It’s time for a little tune-up. There is stuff we should look at.’

A year and a half ago or so, I took the time to go around all the holes at Bandon and I wrote an architectural review. I took pictures and I really thought about the golf course, and what I had in my mind 20 years ago and how it looks and plays today. I gave that to Mike (Keiser) and I said, ‘Hey, I’d love to be able to chew off pieces of this review over the coming years. So last summer, Mike and I agreed that we would meet in October and we would look at the first few items. … He asked me, ‘Which things do you think we should do first?’ And I said the 11th, the 15th, and the 17th holes.

Were there other considerations?

As well as being 20 years on from finishing construction, we’re also two years shy of the (2020) U.S. Amateur coming to Bandon. Selfishly, I am obviously very hopeful that the final match will be played on the original Bandon Dunes golf course. If it doesn’t, it won’t be the end of my world. But I’d surely love it if it were. It would be a highlight to my career to have the U.S. Amateur played on one of my golf courses. Short of having a U.S. Open, a U.S. Amateur would be pretty high for me. So I am hopeful.

Is there a common theme among the three holes?

11, 15 and 17 all had strategic intents 20 years ago that my execution didn’t quite hit the mark on. When you are designing a golf hole, you almost always start designing from the green and work back to the tee, even though the player plays it from the tee all the way to the green. It’s like a chess match. If I’m a chess master, I’m probably trying to think how to get you into check and then checkmate. But I have to start at one side of my board. So as I designer, I am considering that checkmate position first, and then I’m bringing it back to the tee, where you as the golfer are starting your offensive push.

Walk us through the changes at the par-4 11th hole.

Coming in from the left side, the green is relatively open — there is a small pot bunker on the right-hand side — and the green is very long. You’ve got lots of room, and it falls away from you. So to get to any pin on that green you kind of have to come down the left-hand side, land it short if you’re in the winter time with the wind behind, or land it pin high in the summertime with the wind in your face. In order to defend that attacking line, I ran three bunkers across the left side of the fairway. What then happened was those three bunkers provided such good defense that no one could go down the left side. It was overly defended, so that pushed players out right where there are gorse bushes and they could lose a ball.

What I had to do is lessen the defense down the left-hand side to persuade players to go down that way, while letting that rough come back a little bit left of those bunkers, so people couldn’t avoid my strategy. Because they were avoiding it before. They were just hitting it in the rough. So what we did was we took out the middle of the three bunkers and we extended the fairway by maybe 15 yards. And then we put chunks of beach grass all through the rough, so the rough is now randomly unfair. You can hit down the left on purpose, and you can either be in a chunk of beach grass and barely find it or you could have an open lie. But to a good golfer, that’s not a chance worth taking. I’m trying to persuade them to go down the left side as I had originally intended by weakening my defenses a little bit and giving them a chance to go down the left side.

And the par-3 15th?

When I did 15, I knew that hole was relatively long, slightly uphill, into the wind, a small target, giant bunker on the front-right corner. Difficult hole, one of the most difficult on the course. However, I left these mounds down the left-hand side of the hole that I had intended to help a golfer hit a low-running shot and use those mounds to work a ball back into the green or to allow someone to hit it down the left side of that green and if the ball didn’t cup back onto the green it would be left, short left, or pin-high left, with a relatively recoverable shot off the green. That’s not how it worked out. ...

So what I suggested to Mike (Keiser), and he allowed me to do it, was I reduced all those mounds down the left-hand side to a mere hint of their former selves. Those mounds that were 6 feet high and really steep are now 18 inches high and very soft, so a running shot would have a chance of being slowly pushed to the right and actually fold onto that green. And a high shot would land and stay, and not be rejected into the bunker. All of that material from those steep mounds was then put on the left side of 15 green. Whereas before you’d have missed that green and the ball would roll down low into a hollow and you would be left with a lob wedge up and onto the top of a green that is falling away from you — and you could end up back in that bunker again — now that area is much flatter. It’s still below the green, but you could recover with a rescue club, a Texas wedge or maybe even with a putter.

The par-4 17th?

Almost the same issue as 11. The green is best approached down the right-hand side this time. It forces you to have to hit over the gulch, or at least the corner of the gulch, that is ahead of you. But that green is 80 yards long. It’s really, really deep. When I put in all those little pot bunkers on the left-hand side, it stopped anyone from hitting down the left. And if they hit it down the middle or the right with a driver they’d run out of space and run over the edge and they’d be in that long bunker and they were done. ...

To bring the original strategy of that hole to bear — and it’s important that people understand that this was my original strategy, it’s not changing it, it’s just putting back to what I had originally intended and hadn’t quite executed correctly — the two bunkers in the fairway that stuck out the most are now gone. The shapes that they sat in are still there, so you could get some wicked bounces. But you’re not going to end up in a pot bunker. Now my hope is that players will hit 3-woods and drivers at the bunkers on the far-left side and then they’ll use the slope of the fairway to work the ball back to the middle. It will naturally bounce the ball back to the middle, and now they’re hitting short- and mid-irons into that green if they attack it correctly. Because now they can aim 10 or 15 yards left of where they were able to hit before. And with a driver, they could get it down there. Obviously, if they hit a driver and they push it too much, they could still end up off the fairway right. So there is still a risk, but in match play, if you’re one down, you have nothing to lose, you better go for it. And hitting a 9-iron into 17 is a lot easier than hitting 6-iron.

What are your feelings on going back to Bandon, a course you will always be most known for, as you say?

It was funny this time going back there. The course is held in such reverence that I kind of had to remind myself that it was me who originally did it. I can’t think of a good analogy. Every decision that is out there is me anyway. I’m not renovating back to somebody else’s vision. I know what my vision was. And sometimes that vision has been lost because of wind and rain and players and maintenance. And sometimes it never got actualized as well as I’d have hoped. And now 20 years later I have the opportunity to fix it.

Is there a hole at Bandon Dunes where golfers often get the strategy wrong?

Hmm, that’s a good question. Yeah, there’s lots. The first hole. They step up and hit driver. If you’re a reasonably a good golfer, a driver puts you in that giant hole before you can get up on the green. I would much rather hit 7-iron from a flat lie looking at the pin than a wedge down in the hole and not able to see it. And it’s a lot less pressure to hit a very soft driver, or a smooth 3-wood, or even a rescue club up the first fairway than trying to kill a driver. So right there, they hit driver and now they’re told they’re 60 yards away. What do they go for next? An L-wedge! The club they need to hit the least. That is frustrating.

Then they get to (No.) 2. I say to them, ‘Hey, what yardage have you got?’ And they say, ‘Well, I’m 160.’ And I say, ‘OK, what would you hit 160?’ And they say, ‘Well, that’s my 6-iron.’ And I go, ‘OK, hit a smooth 5.’ And they go, ‘Well, what do you mean?’ There is a huge backstop back there and the pin is in the back half of the green. Overclub it. Use the slopes. Giving you a yardage to the pin is not that useful at Bandon Dunes. The yardage to the pin is the beginning of the intellectual thought process about how you’re going to get the ball close. The fact that it’s 160, you might only hit 120 in some situations, you might hit 180 in another situation, depending on the wind and the slopes and everything that is going to factor into what is going to happen next. And a lot of players don’t understand it.

Is that a product of American golfers not being used to the (links) style?

They’re so used to seeing target golf at their home club and on the PGA Tour week in and week out. So that’s a challenge. The next thing is to get them to understand that wedges are not your friend. I get to No. 3, and I hit driver off the tee, and then I hit a little mid-iron, 6-iron, to a hundred yards out. And I’m right in the middle of the fairway 100 yards out, and I’m playing with people who never played (Bandon) before, and I take my rescue club out and a long putt it 100 yards, and I put it to 6 feet and hole it for birdie. And they’re like, ‘Well, how’d you do that?’ And I say ‘Easily.’ It was a much simpler shot than trying to hit a wedge in a 20-mile-per-hour wind off a tight lie. This was a super-simple shot. It’s not even a half swing. It’s a long putt and the ball will run all the way on. And what’s the chance of me missing the green? Very slim. I might not get it as close as I would like, but the chances of thinning it or chunking it are pretty slim.

I could go on through the whole golf course where they just don’t stop to think, ‘What other options could there be that would have less risk and more reward?’

Is it still fun for you to go out to Bandon?

Oh sh*t yeah. And I fly my plane out there.

How often to you get to go back?

Quite often. I’d say three or four times a year. I might go back there next week and check up to see how things are. It takes me 40 minutes. And if Bandon Airport is clear, that’s 40 minutes here to Bandon landing. And it’s 10 minutes in a cab.
