Guest: Bill Donald, general manager, Royal County Down Golf Club.
Description: Donald joins co-hosts D.J. Jones and Connor Evers, of Haversham & Baker Expeditions, to share what it means to lead a club consistently ranked among the finest in the world, and why planning a golf trip to Royal County Down should earn the same preparation as a world-class event. Donald reflects on the club's culture, the stewardship required to preserve its natural beauty, and the details that shape a memorable day at RCD. Also, Donald offers insight for how golfers should prepare and what to expect when the day finally arrives — if they are fortunate to secure a tee time.
