Speaker 1 (01:24):
Hello and welcome to the Golfing Around Radio Hour. I'm
your host, Randy the Tantlinger. My forehead is red and blistering.
That's what it's like when you get out into the
funshine f U n shi n E funshine and you're
hacking' I mean golfing are around. In my case, it's

(01:48):
often hacking around. It is the beginning of springtime. Happy
Mother's Day weekend to you. God bless your mother. God
bless her for wiping your nose, eating you Gerber's banana
baby food, which is still excellent. I'm sixty years old,
and boy, if I need a snack, my go to
is Gerber's baby food banana mush mush and pee mush

(02:12):
mush mush mush. In fact, I might just start carrying
that in my golf bag along with my chilled bottle
of Chardonnay. Do not tell any pro that that's what
I do, because I'd like a good glass of white
wine while I'm hacking around. And if they were to
search my bag, the PLCB Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board would

(02:37):
taser me, arrest me, throw me into the dungeon deep
underneath the streets of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, never to see the
light of day again. Because I ignore that big sign
that says do not bring your own booze. I just
ruined myself at every golf course that will ever listen
to this. I really don't do that. Disclaimer, just having

(02:59):
some fun there and there most certainly is no flask
that I bought. Drum roll please at Mirrfield Clubhouse in Scotland, Kank,
what are you talking about? Well, welcome to this week
on Golfing Around. We've got so much to talk about,
so little time. As they say, I'm not here for

(03:23):
a long time today, but I'm here for a good
time today. As I motto of the show is, I
hope your golf game is picking up some steam. I
know a lot of guys still are just getting out
onto the course. I know a lot of my friends, well,
they've been hacking away, you know, since basically February and
any golf course around because let's face it, a day

(03:46):
on the golf course on any day is wonderful. You know.
I've been doing this for thirty years now. Twenty twenty
five is my are because it took a lot of
people and a lot of friends to get me this
far with Golfing Around. This is my thirtieth year in

(04:13):
business as Golfing Around and it has been an unbelievable ride.
I thank God every single day for it. I really do.
A lot of people ask me how did you get
into the golf business? How do you get to go

(04:33):
to Brazil. How do you get to go to Iceland?
How do you get to go to Scotland and Ireland?
Like I just did for basically a month. We'll get
back to that in a second. Hence my son hand.
That will all make sense, But all praise and glory
to God above. People ask me, how did you get

(04:54):
involved in this stuff? And there's only one answer I have,
and it's God. Not that you care, not that you
want to listen to it. But I started this thing,
this whole journey back in nineteen ninety five, nineteen ninety five,

(05:15):
a lot of you kids weren't even born yet. I
was working for my uncle up in Cleveland, and I
was miserable, miserable. I don't know if you've ever worked
for a family member, but even under the best of circumstances,
and the relationship outside of work is great, working with

(05:38):
your family is difficult. You know. My uncle was when
I was a kid, was my hero man. I loved
that guy. But a child's affections are easily bought, you know,
with ice cream, a twenty dollars bill, blow up airplanes
and models and trips to the NFL Hall of Fame, Anyway,

(06:02):
I grew not to like the SOB didn't like him.
He was a liar and a thief. There you go,
there's the honest truth of it. And I had a
vision because I saw a movie and it looks so
much fun golf did to me? It did. Who didn't

(06:23):
love Happy Gilmore when it came out right? Let alone
remembering going to see Caddyshack with my junior high buddies
back in the seventies. Wasn't having no fun up there
in Cleveland working for the uncle jackass jack hyphen ass.

(06:44):
Happy Gilmore comes along, That's a sport for me. Drinking, golfing, laughing,
hockey slips, stick slapping golf. That was my perception of golf. Sure,
I grew up in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Sure I had known
on her a Palmer. I had interviewed him as a
young man. And it seems like back in Latrop back then,

(07:06):
everybody played golf. He either wrestled, played football, or golfed.
Didn't golf because that was during football season. So anyway,
I just had good luck and got on my side.
I went to a place that nobody had ever heard of.

(07:28):
A friend of mine, a new friend, was in the
golf industry, and she said, hey, there's a place in
Mexico that you should go check out. Because I had
this crazy idea to put a celebrity golf tournament on television. Now,
you got to understand something. I had never produced a
TV show, I had never produced a golf tournament, never

(07:51):
organized a golf tournament, and had played one round of
golf in my life. So when I got the vision
for the Los Cabos, Mexico Celebrity Golf Challenge sponsored by
Aero Mexico Painstick, everybody thought I lost my mind. I mean,

(08:15):
what was the chances of me succeeding? I left my
uncle's company. He didn't have any kids, thank goodness there
they would have been like him. And I was supposed
to inherit the company and trust me, the rest of
my life was cadillacs country clubs and picking up checks.
And I had this crazy idea, a celebrity golf tournament

(08:40):
on television from Los Cabos, Mexico. You gotta understand, nobody
heard a Cabo back then, really they didn't. There was
only four golf courses in Los Cabos. I think there's
thirty now and there's not anybody that hasn't heard of
Los Cabos now and went down into the world wild West,

(09:01):
because that's what it was like. Doing business in Mexico
felt like Clint Eastwood at times. You're a fish out
of water in a different country. And that's a whole
different story about the business aspect of things. I like
to say, have an MBA, an MBA a Mexican business
ass kicking that aside. We pulled it off. We did

(09:25):
the event right, not just once, but three times, three
times and put it on television. And you explained to
me how I was able to do that with no
skill set, none in television production, media, golf, running a

(09:46):
golf tournament. There's only one answer, God Almighty above. I
think God blessed me because one of the things you
hear me speak about a lot on this show is
that God himself only knows how many billions and billions
of dollars has been raised for charities charities through the game.

(10:12):
We love golf. I mean, whatever neighborhood you live in
or city, whether you're listening to the radio show or
our podcast, I bet you can name four charity golf
events in your area right that golf raises money too.
Here in Pittsburgh. I'm on the Myron Cope foge Phasio

(10:34):
Celebrity Golf Challenge in September here in Pittsburgh. I think
it's the forty second year Myron Cope fame voice of
the Pittsburgh Steelers, an all round good guy. Myron Cope,
my former head coach at the University of Pittsburgh, where
I played left bench, left bench, left bench, you get
the joke, started raising money for autism autism care. Myron's

(11:02):
son suffered from autism, and that event alone, I can
tell you, is over the million dollar mark from what
it's raised in forty two years. So golf is special.
It's near to dear to me. It's what I do.
This is the Golf Around Radio Hour with Randy Tank Dantlinger.

(11:25):
Blessed to be here. We're gonna have a great show.
So much to talk about in the next coming segments,
but just a blessing and the reason I want to
tell you in some of the things we're going to
talk about and the rest of the show, I just
got back from an epic golf trip of a lifetime,

(11:46):
and I've been on a lot of golf trips like
I told you, God's been good to me. Scotland two weeks, Ireland,
Scotland and Ireland. Yeah, I got a suntan. I told

(12:07):
you at the beginning, I was in the funshine. It
only rained once during that whole time, once at Crale
golf Course, and yeah it was cold and it was
rainy and it was awesome as we played thirty six

(12:27):
holes at Crale on their two eighteens. Nestled along the
coastline in Saint Andrews, Scotland, the Belcomy Course built by
drum Roll the goat of golf course architecture. Old Tom
Morris built Belcomi Lynks near Saint Andrew's. It was unbelievable

(12:58):
holes along the ocean inside the rain and mist was
coming in and we were laughing and drinking and having
a good time. Went in and got some lunch, warmed up,
had an Irish coffee. If you don't know what that is,
that's coffee with a shot of jamison or bush Mills

(13:21):
or Tulemador or whatever Irish whiskey or Scotch you want
to put into it. You could call it a Scottish
coffee if you want. I like my Scotch Clean got
a story about Scotch too here the rest of the show.
But this is going to be a really fun show
when we get into the other segments. But I want

(13:43):
to tell you right now, how you the average golfer.
Don't care what your handicap is. You don't need a
usgagain handicap to play in the drum roll. Please the

Great weekend in Canton. Register to play in one of
five flights one to five, six to ten, eleven to fifteen.
You get the idea. You do not need a USGA handicap.
You don't. You don't, You do not need. We have

(24:23):
a foolproof system that eliminates sandbanging. Go to USA Scotland
Golf dot com. USA Scotland Golf dot com. You'll see
the video that explains how we score things. Trust me,
there is no way to cheat without the USGA handicap

(24:44):
at our events. No way possible. We've been doing this
now for four years. We had one guy up in
Michigan try to cheat the first year. Guess what, We
burned him at the stake like a witch. Now we
didn't really to. Three guys playing with them wanted to.
I wanted to. There's a little thing in golf that's

(25:05):
called integrity, something that man will never know that we disqualified.
Here's my perspective. I don't know if you agree with me.
If you cheat at golf, you kick the ball out
on your third stroke and hit it and you scream
line four after that, and you're playing by yourself, you're

(25:32):
a nutjob man. And if you're playing with other people,
you're not only a nutjob missing a screw, you're a
soco path who can't be trusted in your personal life
professional life. We do not take kindly to sandbagers, But
for you honest guys out there, you could be standing
on this Wilcan Bridge in Saint Andrew's Come to Fort

(25:58):
Cherry on July nineteenth party with us P a r
TEE at Bridgeville Cigars International. I call it the clubhouse bar,
world class humidor. Even if you're not a cigar of ficionado,
it's still a great environment for the day or to

(26:21):
win that trip to Saint Andrews for a dream drip
of a lifetime. Come play in the event in Canton, Ohio. Hey,
I'm Randy the tank Tantlinger. You're listening to the golfing
around radio? Or I'm gonna throw it over now to
Sean Grimes. Big Sean looks like he play left tackle

(26:44):
there for them there Pittsburgh Steelers. Sean is the pro
over at Glenmore. He parties with Well and golfs with
people like Jack Lambert and Jerome Bettis and Lawrence Taylor.
When it's Hall of Fame weekend, Sean and again Glenmore
Country Club is hosting the championship around twenty fourth of August.

(27:09):
Is gonna fill us in all about Glenmore Country Club?
Right now, I think Glenmore Country Club Glenmore might have
a little bit of that well Scottish hagis wrapped in
its DNA. Some of the rooms are even named after
well venerable Scottish spots, Turnberry, Turnberry, Scott Squirrill, Scott's guirrill.

(27:33):
How about that?

Speaker 5 (27:34):
Yeah, it's amazing and honestly right now tell you at
Glenmore we call it Glenmore Travel. The PJ Pros and
there's three of us here at the moment. We do
travel instead of trips for our members, and I have
to stay in.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Work of course.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
But the two other class APG pros are taking the
large group of members to Scotland the next two weeks.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Oh wonderful. Yeah, so I think we need to get
in on that, like to.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
But my manager here and my owner would like one
of us to be working.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
So I'm going to stay at work. Where's Frank. Yeah,
he's probably going to Scotland as well.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
Yeah, but that's and that's that's why I said the
ties when you get into golf like this and you
think it ties when I turned pro. Strangely enough, when
I turned pro, one of my friends was a pro
in Pinehurst, North Carolina. I cut my teeth as a
golf pro in Pinehurst way back when in the nineties,
actually when just about when this country foote was opening,

(28:36):
when Glenmore was opening, I was in Pinehurst, North Carolina.
And you talk about roots about in Scotland, you talk
about Pinehurst, and I've been at Glenmore now twenty years.
The head profession, the director of golf at Glemar, the
head professional makes down she's been here eighteen years and
the assistant professional, Kayla Hardesty, has been here eleven years.

(29:00):
You talk about a lot of the history, a lot
of years of experience as golf pros. Yeah, and you
when you talk about Scotland and in the roots here
at Glenmore, going back with our ownership, Bart Wolstein, Jack Nicholas,
there's a lot of history here and a lot of
history with Breton RL right now.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
I love the interior as you come into the Glenmore
Country Club again, this venerable building nineteen twenty seven monastery church.
You walk inside and again, God's blessed me to go
to Scotland several times now and you've got that feeling.
I almost felt like, wait a minute, my am, I
in Scotland. When you come inside the core is amazing. Well.

Speaker 5 (29:45):
I think Bart and Iris Wolfstein and Iris had her
hand on it. As they saw the interior here, they
knew what they were gonna do with the golf course. Okay,
they got Jack Nicholas. It's a signature course, not just
a Jack Corse. And that means he stayed on site
to develop.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Why was here.

Speaker 5 (30:01):
There's only around fifty on the planet now, much like
Earfield But when they got here, Iris and Bart looked
at this, but Iris specifically said, why would we tear
up the history of this Building's tried to maintain that
but still add the modern touches with the spawn things
like that, and layered that in so when you first

(30:23):
come in you get that feeling. But much like restored
old home sentury homes, you have your modern touches, but
you have that history there. And that's what you can't buy.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
These days, is the history of this building. And that
when you add it in with.

Speaker 5 (30:41):
A stadium style course like this, like Earfield, because that's
this course here plays the closest of any Nicholas course
I've ever played to Mierfield in Columbus where they have
the Wow, We'll have one of the best championships and
Ryder Cups and things like that. There's seven holes out
here that I think Jack just hey, you know what,
this will be easy. I'll just kind of copy that

(31:03):
one down. But there's some holes like that. Wonderful place, wonderful,
a little rolling, much like Weerfield, but just some awesome
history in the building and our new history.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
We're adding to it. Welcome back to the golfing around
Radio hour. I'm your host, Randy the Tank Tantlinger. Happy
Mother's Day weekend to you wherever you are listening to
this broadcast. I've been talking about, well, my epic journey
that could be your epic journey too, in twenty twenty

(31:33):
six to both Scotland and Ireland. Just got back last Sunday,
flew back home and boy, my arm's tired. But ump bump,
that's a good joke. I don't know why people don't
use that more often, but it's probably the same thing
as why the chicken crossed the road. I hit a

(31:56):
seven year old with that recently and he just looked
at me like I was a lunatic, and he's right, Look,
you could be playing in St Andrews, Scotland next year.
Is an amateur golfer as a member of Team USA
versus Team Scotland. Yeah, amateur golfers just like you are,

(32:20):
the ballets, the latties from Team Scotland. More so Charlton
Castle in a state we've been playing the guys. This
was our third tournament against Team Scotland. Charlton Castle in
the state just outside of Saint Andrews is Well. First

(32:47):
of all, it gives you a average golfer, the chance
to compete. Look, if we put you on a links
golf course against Team Scotland, you'd get small you get
unless you've played real links. You can't call the links
at Huckleberry Farms in Nebraska links course. And I hate

(33:08):
the title links esk. Look, I was just basically a
month in Scotland and Ireland paying the world's greatest links courses.
Nothing upsets me more than that it is not links esk.
Do not use that to describe your golf course that's landlocked.

(33:28):
For your edification. That is a parkland golf course. What
we play in western Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland is
called a parkland golf course. Links is what they play
at Saint Andrews. You have to have sand in an
ocean to play links golf and it's a different game anyway.

(33:51):
You could be playing a beautiful parkland golf course against
Team Scotland in twenty twenty six. Log on a USA
Scotland Golf dot com our National Championship that you can
play in male golfers any age. You seniors, we move

(34:11):
you up tea box, help you out a little bit.
I know it I'm sixty. Come up to Canton, Ohio
this August twenty second, twenty third, twenty fourth playing the
Team USA National Championships. Register to play in one of
five flights. You do not need a USGA handicap to play.

(34:32):
Don't worry. Go to our website USA Scotland Golf dot
com and you'll see a video about our scoring how
we eliminate sandbagging. If you win your flight in Canton,
you'll be standing on the bridge in St. Andrews in

(34:53):
twenty twenty six with me as a member of Team USA.
You will play Teams Scotland. You will pay some of
the greatest golf courses in the world. We played Kraille
on Monday when we arrived This year thirty six holes,
two eighteens links Belcomi was built by old Tom Morris himself.

(35:16):
Goat Mike Drop. We also play and you could be
playing Dumbbarney Golf Links. David Scott, the general manager man,
he's a cool dude. We filmed an episode of my
TV show Just a Great Guy, Dumb Barney Golf Links,

(35:39):
which you could be playing like our guys did. This
year was voted the number one new golf course in
the world two years ago, three years ago. That's how
good it is, and it's links. Our guys were just
beside themselves when they were done playing it. Playing some
video now of Dumbarney on our Facebook and YouTube page.

(36:04):
Check it out Golfing Around, Golfing Around Randy Tantlinger. Incredible
golf course. But the way you get there, whether you
win that trip to Saint Andrews to play Dumbarney, you
got to play two competitive rounds in Canton this August
the Quarry Glenmore Country Club. Doug and his brothers up

(36:26):
at the Quarry have a first class facility. I Golfing
Around magazine Golfing Around gave the Quarry the number one
Public golf Course award last year that we played. It's
that good. Let me throw it over to Doug and

(36:49):
his brother right now and they're going to tell you
a little bit about well the Quarry up in Canton, Ohio,
which you'll be playing as part of the Team USA
National Championships. Only two one hundred and fifty five bucks
to play in it. Log on to USA Scotland Golf
dot com. Here's Doug and his brother all right, I
have no idea where the pro and the manager and

(37:09):
stuff is right now. But I am looking forward to playing.
Oh hi, I Randy. I just wanted to get down here.
There's wonder where they were. What's going on?

Speaker 6 (37:20):
How you doing, Buddy, good brother, Doug?

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Cold one man? All right, I'll take a gatory instead
of a cold. It's a beautiful day here in northeastern Ohio.
If you don't know where the Canton area is, a
lot of people, you know Johnny, they know the Hall
of Fame area. They may think it's in the middle
of the state. You guys are, how far from like
the lake? If we were gonna drive from Lake Erie
down here, get about an hour and twn. Yeah, it's nothing.

(37:46):
That's a cold drink gatorade to get to the ocean.
That's that's what I called. It's an ocean. Other people
may call it a lake. You know, the Quarry golf
course is exceptional, exceptional in the fact that the topography
here is hilly. You have elevation changes. Let's talk about
this gem. Well, first of all, this clubhouse. Can I
rent a space in there and live in there? Well,

(38:09):
you can rent a space.

Speaker 6 (38:10):
I don't know about living, But come on, now, we
do a lot of different activities in there. Do We
do a lot of weddings. We do baby shower, fridor sowers,
grad parties. Obviously, we do a lot of outings and
that type of thing. It's kind of unique for a
public course to have a clubhouse.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
It's ten thousand.

Speaker 6 (38:28):
Square feet plus you ten thousand thousands square feet, so
our back patio will hold roughly about four hundred people.
So we've been done Hall of Fame parties. You know,
the year before last we did the Las Vegas Raiders
Hall of Fame party here, six hundred and sixty people.
We did everything in house, inviting me Diana Ross saying
right on our Raiders.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
And we did the Bengals last year. So yeah, it's
not so much with the Bengals. Yeah, well you know
what that speaks, you know, pedigree when you talk about
a property. Of course, the Pro Football Hall of Fame
in Cantons were right down the road.

Speaker 7 (39:01):
If you've never come up for that weekend, right, guys,
it's a great weekend. But when the Raiders, when the
Bengals are selecting a facility, you know it's got to
be top class, great service, a great golf course.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
John what do you like about your golf course? Well,
the first sight was the property itself is well. I
was very interested. We used to play here all this exclusively.
When our father was still alive, we brought him out here.

Speaker 6 (39:26):
So when the opportunity came to keep this course open
or the previous owners maybe shut it down, we thought
we had a step up.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
So I put together a real diverse ownership group of businessman,
business owners, yeah, a golf director, and we made it happen.
And it's a really good fun here. We like the guy,
the Patriots. I like the company so much. I bought
it right right. I like it golf course so much.
I bought the golf course well, great facility. Obviously, Lions

(39:54):
and Tigers and Bengals and Raiders are playing there ten
thousand feet. We're gonna head out onto the golf course
now and you're going to discover why the Quarry in Campton,
Ohio is so special. So that's the guys up there
at the Quarry golf course that you could be playing
this August. The quarry is so good. During Hall of

(40:20):
Fame Week for the NFL in Canton, Ohio, teams like
the Raiders rent out the golf course for the weekend. Okay,
Glenmore are Round two Championship Round in Canton. All the
NFL guys go there and play. That should tell you
the caliber of golf in Campton. In case you didn't

(40:44):
know it, Canton's known as the Ohio's golf Capital, Ohio's
golf capital. We'll be getting into that all radio season.
Ohio's golf Capital. It's a big statement, and they can
back it up, not only with the Quarry, not only
with Glenmore Country Club, but my goodness, I don't even
know how many great golf courses are in the Canton

(41:06):
Akron area. You gotta go up there. If you're down
and wheeling, if you're in Pittsburgh, if you're in Eerie,
if you're anywhere across the globe listening to golfing around
radio hour, Trust me, Canton has golf. Go to the
Hall of Fame, go enjoy the town. They're nice people.

(41:30):
You know how you normally drive around and people taill
get you and beep at you. They don't do that
in Canton. Now, wave at you going, how you doing?
How do you think the Packers are gonna do this year?
Beep beep, See you don't even know the lady. That's
exactly how she talks. It's wrong with me. I get
hit in the head with a titleist at one point
I must have Hey, you're listening to Golfing Around Radio hour.
