Bethpage State Park's director of agronomy Andrew Wilson joined A.J. Voelpel on the Metropolitan Golf Association's "Around the Met" podcast earlier this month to discuss the park and its preparation for next May's PGA Championship.
Wilson and Voelpel chatted about ideal winter conditions leading up to the event, which will tee off in May for the first time rather than its traditional August slot. They also discussed recent tweaks to the Black Course, how the PGA will impact Bethpage's other courses and more about the crew's efforts around the park. Listen to the podcast on SoundCloud at the Met Golf website.
Wilson has also contributed annual updates on conditions and park renovations here for Golf On Long Island. For a refresher on changes and renovations made ahead of this past playing season, see Wilson's 2018 Bethpage update.
