We wanted to know what life in the Bubble is like on The European Tour, where he sees the future of the tour with the PGA taking a seat on the board as well as the latest distance report from the R&A and USGA.

We talk through his route into golf course architecture, history of the great architects and courses that Martin has been working on. Having learnt his craft with Donald Steel, Martin and his partner Tom Mackenzie have worked with 198 courses since 2005 when they founded Mackenzie & Ebert. 17 of which feature in the World Top 100 lists, and a staggering 7 of the current 10 Open rota venues - it certainly provides the perfect backdrop for a fascinating discussion!
