Announcements of the new DP World Tour, the SGL, PGL, a PGA rebuttal, removal of green reading books and more. It’s been a few weeks since we all caught up so we wanted to discuss the latest news. Usually aiming for a ‘short-sharp 25 mins’….

Sam & Tom sat down with Gary Wolstenholme at Ganton to talk through his stellar career in amateur golf. In Part 1, we talk through his early life in golf, being the son of a professional golfer, his journey from a 23 handicapper to winning the Amateur at Canton Golf Club. This victory led him to play at Augusta National for the Masters and playing with the great Arnold Palmer. We then dive into his team appearances and beating Tiger Woods in the Walker Cup and Royal Porthcawl.   https://youtu.be/5be7S728-gc

Filmed at Cumberwell Park, this session with performance and movement consultant Mark Bull explores how subtle changes in footwork and balance can impact your entire golf swing. Using motion capture data, Mark walks Bruce through how the position of the lead foot influences pelvis movement, rotation, and ultimately swing efficiency. This video dives into the why behind movement patterns and challenges common assumptions in golf instruction. Ideal for players and coaches interested in a more holistic and informed approach to performance.   https://youtu.be/l_cKKhVBHFw

The first episode of our new series, 'Spotlight' – an ‘Every Shot At’ style video with no distractions, just pure golf, a simple over/under target and noise of waves lapping at the shore. Sam takes on Royal Cinque Ports (aka Deal) with retro clubs and his persimmon woods the day before our Retro Day at Prince’s, aiming to break 80.5. Sit back and enjoy 30 minutes of ASMR golf as he flushes his way around RCP during golden hour.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWRfvhSKEks

In part III of our series we look at the world famous but community centred Winter Park, affectionately known as WP9. A course that in 2014 received $1m of funding from the City of Orlando, which was spent on reviving this much loved community course and breathing new life into it. One cut height, and greens that each pose an interesting question meant that this little 9-holer on the cobbled streets of Winter Park is the poster child for sustainable golf in the US.
