Show Notes
In this episode:
● The layers of history buried under one San Antonio park — irrigation, war, industry, and sport.
● How a parks commissioner, a herd of buffalo, and a golf course accidentally created a zoo.
● Why a city hired one of America's greatest architects to build a course anyone could play.
● A sportswriter's idea, a big purse, and the tournament that reshaped the professional game.
● The Mount Rushmore connection sitting quietly on the property.
● A refreshment stand by the 12th green and the four-star general who grew up beside it.
● The five golfers whose borrowed entry fee launched a national association.
● What a highway took away, what a restoration brought back, and how to go see it today.
Plus the 19th Hole, where we tell you how to go visit the places in this episode.
