It's not really like other mountain courses...rather, it's more of a course... on a 'cloud'.
Carter, Lupton, Probasco, Davenport, Oehmig, Dye, and of course Raynor - these are some of the many names who have all been an instrumental part of an amazing story, 100 years in the making. Hear from the wonderful mind, and heart, of Doug Stein about not just the golf course on Lookout but also about his family, growing up here and his many friends from over the years. This is a really powerful episode of time, vision, passion, dreams and especially determination. Doug does an excellent job of sharing with listeners about his great memories from growing up in this community and even raising his children here and his love of this community. Hear about everything from the great ice storm of 1960 to the building of Covenant College and even movie stars who came to Lookout.
It is a joy to listen to Doug share what is clearly a life passion for him as his talks about his family, his friends and the course at Lookout Mountain.
This episode offers a true deep dive on the actual golf holes and their layouts and, it goes into some great detail about the current, exciting renovations.
At times, the listeners may even feel like Doug is actually channeling Seth Raynor himself as he describes the layout and vision of the course.
Oh, and what a May it will be! As the anticipated opening of the course sometime late next spring, the opening of this long-awaited and much anticipated "ultimate upgrade" will occur. The Stein name joins the list of these special folks all of whom have been passionate on this journey.
So, until then, please listen and enjoy the truly excellent effort by Doug to share the history, vision and hopes for this wonderful asset in our community.
Well done Lookout Mtn Club members and, well done Doug Stein! King must be so proud.
Thank you!
