KANSAS CITY'S SWOPE MEMORIAL: 11-EPISODE RENOVATION SERIES
Kansas City's historic Swope Memorial went through a full course renovation. Skizzle documented it in a 11-episode series that kept the public and golf enthusiasts informed through every phase, bunker work, drainage, green complexes, the works. The course is planned to reopen in the summer of 2026 to a community that already understood what had changed and why, not blindsided by the upgrades and changes.

Featured cinematic video
A renovation is the moment a club is most exposed. The series gave Swope Memorial a running answer to golfer and public anxiety by turning work-in-progress into anticipation. Eleven episodes, released as the work happened, ensured that by the time the course reopened, the community wasn't just ready…they were excited. This cinematic documentation transformed a period of closure into a powerful marketing asset that built lasting value for the club.
