An Afternoon at Sunningdale Heath
Some highlights from a wonderful afternoon at Sunningdale Heath. 36 golfers assembled for some drinks, fourball golf with rounds completed in well under 3 hours and the finest bacon sandwich in the business. Congratulations to Elaine who took the spoils and Peter Handcock as lowest gross with 58. Despite its short length, we firmly believe that Sunningdale Heath offers golfers of all abilities a test and more often than not, requires you to hit far more shots in the bag!

039 – Pinehurst #2 – Working on a US Open course set up with Graeme Roberts (Part 2)
Our loyal Badgers, you might have wondered where the promised second half of Episode 36 ended up. After a few weeks on the road, travelling up to the Arctic Circle in our camper van, I must admit to the grievous crime of forgetting to post it. Logging into the podcast dashboard, there it was - ready to entertain and educate our legions of Badgers. So I can only apologise for the oversight. Even with the delay, I hope it doesn't reduce your enjoyment of Graeme's experience. It was so interesting to compare the set up of an Open Championship with a US Open, and Graeme was the perfect person to discuss the similarities and differences between the two events. We happen to have another couple of podcasts in the chamber, so as an autumnal chill returns to the golf courses of Great Britain, we hope you'll all find [...]
