Sam & Tom - severely jet lagged and operating on 30% after their whirlwind trip of Georgia & South Carolina, and Bruce back to the grind with work and coming off the back of the presidents putter. We run through announcements, brand partnership changes with Nike / Tiger and of course what all this means for the DP World Tour. Latest Products

words by Dr Darragh Garrahy (Chief Walker Cup and useless trivia correspondent) --- Sam’s dreadful mix-up of The Brothers Scott from Nairn (Sandy and Calum) on a recent podcast got me thinking about the players who, for various reasons, couldn’t tee it up in a Walker Cup when selected or were close to selection. And indeed, those who put club to ball when in less-than-stellar shape. This is a very non-exhaustive list of some personnel changes in the history of the storied cup. Perhaps the most well-known dropout was in the inaugural Walker Cup at NGLA in 1922 when GB&I [...]

Blackwell Golf Club - 19th July, 2024 #FeelTheJoy in partnership with FootJoy Our inaugural Cookie Jar Mixer was held at Blackwell in 2021, and we thought we would bring it back. A big day of golf in the summer, some fantastic food, drinks and much much more! A film from that day can be viewed below, including a wonderful impromptu poem delivered by James Woods, originally told at a game between the Honourable Company & Royal St George's. Much like many clubs of that era, Blackwell was founded by a group of local businessmen in 1893. John Ball Jr [...]
Bledge and I do tend to agree on things. So much so one of you guys asked us to put it to the test. In reality, we tend to bicker and disagree on many things. But both value an other perspective and share many of the same philosophies that underpin golf (and, indeed, life). So Producer Harriet put us to the test. Here we discuss some of our favourite things. Some, in typical Golf Badger fashion, are inane and inconsequential. Our favourite Instagram accounts, beers, spike bars. Others are a bit more relevant to our listeners. What are [...]
The Addington Golf Club - Friday 31st May Limited Places Available For the last two years, The Spring Meeting has been the jewel in the CJ-crown, held at some truly exceptional venues, and this years instalment promises to be no different. In 2022 Pippa Bonsall left the field in her wake as she put together a great final round at Royal St George's with her partner Sam Clapham, and last year after a strong opening round at Moortown, Matthew Reid played lights-out golf down the stretch to win at Alwoodley. A taster from last years event can be found [...]

From the Netherlands series, to the series of get togethers and events throughout the year, the Walker Cup, The Open and AIG Women's and much much more.

Golf course construction guru Mik Wells joins us this week to talk about his career in golf course construction, how that work has evolved in recent years as well as the influence he draws from the great golden age architects of yesteryear. Mik is such a fun person, we stayed wiht him up at the lodges in Cabot Highlands earlier this year and when we learnt he was over at Hinkley Golf Club doing some work to their bunkers during the off-season we couldn't resist going over for a bit of dinner and podcast! The work of Mik [...]
