About this episode

On Part 2 of Season 12, Episode 47 of Next on the Tee, I’m joined by David Moore, Curator of Collections at Oakmont Country Club and Co-Author of Battling the Church Pews: The History of Golf’s Premier Events in Western Pennsylvania.

David takes us inside Oakmont’s history and heritage, reflecting on this year’s U.S. Open, how the course handled the rain, and why its challenge remains the ultimate test of skill and mental toughness. He also shares incredible stories about Ben Hogan’s 1953 Triple Crown season, Arnold Palmer’s legacy, and the 1975 Ryder Cup at Laurel Valley.

It’s a fascinating look at golf’s golden history and the pride of Western Pennsylvania — from the fairways of Oakmont to the spirit of the King himself.
