Mount Ogden Golf Course, Trails, and Balance w/ Todd Brenkman [Ep. 45]

Ogden City Mayor Ben Nadolski sits down with one of Ogden’s most beloved “Ogden all the way” people, Todd Brenkman, golf pro, lifelong resident, and an advocate who’s helped generations discover the game. Todd shares his unlikely start (a found seven iron, soup cans as putting cups, and a volunteer “cart kid” era at El Monte), and how that early spark turned into a decades-long career serving Ogden through its golf courses.

Together, they dig into what it takes to run a city enterprise fund, how smart investments (like irrigation upgrades, facility improvements, and partnering across city departments) can transform an operation from “in the red” to self-sustaining, and why that matters for taxpayers. The conversation also explores what “outdoor recreation” really means in Ogden: golf, trails, winter grooming, family time, and the tricky work of balancing shared spaces so everyone can access them safely. The call to action is simple: get outside, get active, and reconnect, with Ogden, and with each other.
