Short film from our time in St Andrews, playing the reverse routing. Something that’s on Tiger Woods’ bucket list was a real treat. Huge thanks to the Links Trust at the Home of Golf @thehomeofgolf as well as Clyde Johnson from Renaissance Golf Design for sharing his wisdom on the pod.

Sunningdale Heath were introduced to renowned graffiti artists Troika paint, to explore how they could collaborate to bring something unique to the Golf Club. Sunningdale Heath is always striving to create an inclusive and fun atmosphere at the club, what better way to do this than through art. Fair to say this has never been done at a Golf Club before. Troika have designed a fun piece of art that is full of inclusive images, inspirational people, amusing illustrations and colour in abundance. From the start everybody involved knew how challenging this would be, something that had never been done [...]
This is the OG MacKenzie course, a club founded by a number of members from nearby Leeds, one of which was an ambitious Dr who would later go on to design Cypress Point, Royal Melbourne and of course Augusta National. This was the firts course he ever worked on, and his nervous co-members were keen to get the only real household name in the design of golf courses up from London to inspect his work and provide his seal of approval. HS Colt would do just that, and it started a long period where the two worked on courses either [...]
We've been spending lots of time with renowned golf artist Lee Wybranski this year talking logos and we're proud to bring you a new alternative merchandise mark which he has lovingly created after rounds of meetings! This is the story of how we created it and why! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owp_qaOPaKU&t=83s
People from all over the country descended on West Byfleet Golf Club on the 19th October for our second Retro Event. Everyone playing took things seriously, carefully curating their sets with persimmon, blades, wands and clubs of special meaning. West Byfleet is a wonderful course for such an event, playable and relatively generous off the tee, but with all the intricacy to ensure players wishing to be in the prizes needed all the shots. Huge congratulations to ex Touring Pro Josh White for his 67 and winning the gross, as well as nearest the pin leaving it inside an inch. [...]

Mighty Winds, Mighty Champions documents Hoylake's prodigious connection with the professional and amateur game, its rich history and takes a close look at the course and the array of challenges it will pose the world's best next week. https://youtu.be/-vvhvkSdReo
The club was established in 1869 making it the oldest 9 hole links in England. The course was designed by the famous Scottish golfer Mungo Park, winner of the 1874 Open Championship at Musselburgh. He was also the club's first professional/greenkeeper. We stopped by here after a game at Goswick last year, and having been told about it by Ronan Rafferty we just couldn't resist. We're so glad we did. This 9 hole layout is the epitome of simplicity. 5 holes away, and 4 coming back, almost like a miniature version of The Old Course at St Andrews with Granny [...]
Our 2023 Spring Meeting was held at Moortown & The Alwoodley Golf Club on the 10th & 11th May. A celebration of the early work by the great Dr Alister MacKenzie who designed and laid out the courses in Leeds. Alwoodley was his maiden attempt and nervous members - keen to find out whether their money was going to good use - appointed HS Colt to come and check the work by this physician turned architect. Not long after, MacKenzie was part of the group of founding memebrs at Moortown looking to establish a course less than a mile from [...]

Back in October we visited Goswick Golf Club, lying on a remote strip of ground 30 miles north of Newcastle and 6 miles south of Berwick upon Tweed. We're delighted with how this film came out - a break from tradition from our usual films! Goswick is a club with a rich history dating back to 1890. The initial course has evolved over time, steadily stretching northwards with the involvement of James Braid, Willie Park Jnr and more recently Mackenzie & Ebert. Because its slightly off the beaten path, not enough spotlight goes to clubs like Goswick, Seaton Carew or [...]
