The full squad are together to catch up on the latest developments in the game, we get to hear from the latest tinkering in Cal’s workshop in search of the fabled wand as he moves onto putter #26, and we look at whether the stats in the Amateur game are totally bogus, or really help players!
Bruce, Sam & Tom recap the highs and lows from Harding Park, and the superb return to Major Championship golf. An emphatic performance from Collin Morikawa as well as Englands own Paul Casey, trash talking by Brooks, whiffs from Rickie, and confusion for Kaymer!
Tom, Sam and Cal recap some of the latest news on both sides of the Atlantic, including Eddie Pepperell's withdrawal from the HERO Open, as well as the danger Fire Ant's pose to golfers in the modern era. Most importantly we talk through some predictions for the PGA at Harding Park this week in what feels like an eternity since major golf and get to hear about the latest activity in Cal's workshop!
Does Trottie have the coolest job in golf? If he doesn’t, then it’s not far off! We got to chat with Chris about his ascendancy in the world of golf, from PGA professional to club fitter to the elite TaylorMadd players on the tour including the likes of DJ, Paul Casey, Rory, John Rahm and Tiger! Trottie is not only a world class equipment junkie and all round golf nerd, but a superb orator and all round top guy! Enjoy!
As well as recapping Collin Morikawa's win in Ohio, we take the chance to research some of the caddies throughout history that have changed the game of Golf - Some of them modern household names, most of them not! Stretching over a century of caddies that have not just been a support to their players, but often influenced golf in many different ways!
The full squad are together as we head into a double header at Muirfield Village, Nicklaus’ most revered course design. We use the chance to go through the record books and look at the career of The Golden Bear more closely and establish if he is the true GOAT (as well as some obligatory Bryson remarks which we couldn’t walk past)!
Sam, Tom & Bruce recap the news on tour from the last week, with DJ shooting career lows after changing the short stick, some impressive performances under the gun from Will Gordon, and shots being fired about the rulings in place for OWGR pts! We also try (and fail) to find the essence of short par-4 holes and what makes them truly exciting!
The four boys get together to review the recent events at Harbour Town and Colonial post lockdown, also talking about the Rose Ladies Series and debriefing on the Macmillan 72 hole challenge!
Today Bruce and Tom are joined by Jonathan Yarwood. Jonathan is a teaching professional ranked in the Top 100 in America by Golf Magazine. He’s worked with winners at every level, including 2005 US Open Champion Michael Campbell, and, formerly, Jessica Korda and Robert Rock. We enjoyed chatting to him about the Tiger v Phil match, his career in teaching, and also his views on the state of modern golf instruction.
From the ban on the game by James II, all the way to the new age designs we enjoy today, we get together to try and piece together the history of golf course architecture from the beginning. As long time fans of great courses, with next to no prior knowledge we each take an era, research like mad, and try to find out why the trademarks of those era’s are so different!
