John Jacques has worked at Erin Hills for years. Exactly one week ahead of the first tee shot of the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open, he saw a weather event on the course he had never seen — and surely didn’t want to, especially given the timing. “That was the first time I’ve seen hail on the golf course,” Jacques says.

Charlie, what can I get you? You’re going to laugh … I need a fatty Dr. Pepper. I don’t want a 12-ounce can, I want that big bottle, I call it the “fatty” Dr. Pepper. I have an addiction to it, I always have a 12-pack in the fridge. Tell me about Heritage Oaks. We’re a Bill Love design. I’ve got to talk to Mr. Love several times over the last couple years, and he said it’s one of his favorite tracks. He took a really old flood plain in a rock quarry and laid out a gorgeous 18-hole golf course.

My first Masters was 2003 — I was a guest of Club Car’s — and its remarkable how things just seem to happen there. One example from this year’s Masters: Golfdom editor Scott Hollister and I are walking past the practice area when he mentions Pete Wendt to me, the affable Certified Golf Course superintendent at Congressional.
