The Golf Guy Podcast — The Maggie Hathaway Project, with Akbar Chisti of Seamus Golf and Kevin Gigax of the SCGA Junior Golf Foundation

In conjunction with the return of the US Open to LA after 75 years, LACC, the USGA and the SCGA have undertaken a collaborative project to restore the Maggie Hathaway Golf Course in South LA and support the SCGA Junior Golf Foundation’s programming. We talk with two folks who are involved in this project — Akbar Chisti, founder of Seamus Golf, and Kevin Gigax, executive director of the SCGA Junior Golf Foundation. We discuss with Akbar how he came to create Seamus Golf and how this project fits in well with his thoughts on the game, and we talk with Kevin about how the project came about and the SCGA Junior Golf Foundation’s role in the project, and how we all believe that this wonderful 2023 US Open legacy project could provide a blueprint for future US Opens in other communities.
