This week on The DROP, we uncover the resurgence of Knickerbocker Country Club - a standout in New Jersey’s private golf scene and one of North Jersey’s most historic and underrated clubs. Originally designed in 1914 by Donald Ross, with a major architectural imprint from Herbert Strong, Knickerbocker blends Golden Age strategy with modern edge. Now under the vision of Jaeger Kovich of Proper Golf and Superintendent Kyle Hillegass, the course is undergoing a thoughtful transformation - restoring sightlines, removing trees, and showcasing one of the most dynamic sets of greens in the Garden State.

To close out the episode, we run through this week’s Quick Hitters - including John Pak missing the cut at the Bank of Utah Championship, and results from PGA Tour Q-School First Stage. Dawson Jones came up short, while Melan Dhaubhadel, Ethan Ng, and Peicheng Chen all advanced to Second Stage. We also spotlight the Senior PPC in Florida, where Brian Varsay and Frank Esposito made the final cut, with Frank now eyeing a spot in the Senior PGA Championship. Plus, Ryan tees it up this week at Trump Bedminster - Old Course, with a full recap coming soon.
