''The Crump Cup of British Indoor Golf'' as it was affectionately dubbed! 70 people all flocked to Urban Golf in Smithfield, London to spend the evening spreading some festive cheer, a few holes on the sims and a few cold ones! A massive thank you to Urban Golf for laying the event on for everyone. The competition mirrored the format of a mid-am! A full match report can be found on our blog section of our website (linked below) - essentially a 3 hole qualification stroke play round to determine 8 quarter finalists who battled it out on the old [...]
On the 17th October 1860, the first Open Championship was played. A 12 hole routing was in place at Prestwick in the early years thanks to old Tom Morris who moved to Ayrshire following his split from Allan Robertson in St Andrews. Willie Park Snr went on to win that first Open. The 12 hole routing as you will see is significantly different to the stereotypical 'out and back' links that many of the earliest clubs adopted. Holes of various lengths and shapes criss-cross around the course at Prestwick, with enormous amount of drama and challenge. Prestwick have put in [...]
A slight twist on our usual films, we wanted to share the story of the 1922 Open Championship at Royal St. George's. The Hagen win in 1922 ushered in a new era of American dominance in the professional game, with a gritty performance over his English and Scottish counterparts. Credit due to Tom Clavin's book 'Sir Walter, The flamboyant life of Walter Hagen', and in there he brilliantly describes the events as they unfolded with Bernard Darwin reporting from the fairways. Royal St. George's is a club steeped in history and one of the most significant clubs in the British [...]

Nestled in the rolling countryside of Devon, is England’s latest ’new build’. A course founded, designed, built and run by visionary Dan Davies. A man with a storied career in golf journalism and writing, he has developed RNGC to revive the short-course competitions from years gone by. The story of RNGC is really the story of Dan Davies. A man who has spent 10 months of more building a golf course to host a special one day invitational event for his friends and loved ones. Despite being a mere 510 yards in total, this 9 hole course makes up for [...]
The spring meeting is a staple of the golfing calendar, whereby a group of people convene following a long cold winter to mark the start of the golfing season. At the start of the year, we thought we would have a go at doing one with a twist! Two days in Kent with music, fireworks, great food, world class golf courses and of course, a group of people who share an unrivalled passion for the game! Special thanks must go to Prince's and Royal St. George's Golf Club who, without their extreme generosity and support for Cookie Jar, the event [...]

@halfparkid (Peter) is a mysterious instagram character, who - like many - have built an anonymous social media presence around something he loves, able to share the finer details of bunkers, clubhouse lunches and green-to-tee transitions with a wider audience than just his school friends. Obsessed with British club culture and great architecture, we’ve been friends with Peter for a few years now and despite his diminutive frame, and bearing more than just a slight resemblance to the Superbad teenage tragic ‘McLovin’, there’s a huge golfing brain in there (as well as talent). Peter played full time for several years, [...]
