Musings on the Women’s game in 2024, words by James Burn

2024-09-18T09:58:12+00:00September 18th, 2024|Blog, Uncategorized|

words by James Burn Self-confessed 'Friend of the show' --- While the men’s game flounders in the tiresome impasse between the PGA Tour and LIV, the women’s game is stealing the spotlight with an electrifying year in 2024. Iconic venues, superstars, a thriving amateur game, and matchplay golf at its finest—it’s worth paying tribute to a stellar year.

An afternoon at Sunningdale Heath

2024-09-10T19:49:40+00:00September 10th, 2024|Blog, Uncategorized|
