The EW Podcast - Joel Simmons with Jim Nagle

Jim Nagle, Golf Course Architect, spent over 25 years working with his mentor and friend Ron Forse, of Forse Design Inc, and has become quite the expert on Architect William Flynn golf course designs. I met Jim for the first time during the Women’s Open on the 12 green at Lancaster Country Club, a course that he has been working on for years. We talked about a lot of William Flynn designed golf courses, especially in the Philadelphia area, and the uniqueness of Flynn’s work. Jim has specialized in redesign work throughout his career and has a strong resume. This led to him going out on his own in March 2024, starting Nagle Design Works, and it was less than 24 hours before the phone starting ringing. Jim is a good friend to the golf course superintendent, and we talked about the importance of that relationship when it comes to a new design project. This was an easy, and exciting conversation about golf strategy and golf course design, and we are grateful for Jim’s time and support.
