037 – Jerry Mulvihill of Lofoten Links – Arctic Special
Badgers, It's been a little while since our last conversation, but I've been a bit preoccupied. I think most of you will be aware that poor Producer Harriet has been persuaded to go on another adventure in our trusty campervan. This time, we've gone north. About as far north as you can go really. It took almost 2 weeks but we finally drove from our home in Hoylake to the Arctic Circle, and then on to the famous course of Lofoten Links. I've been doing daily vlogs on my YouTube Channel, so please subscribe here to catch up on the vlogs to date and to see the rest of the journey. We've still got a long way before we're back in Blighty! But while up there I was delighted when Jerry Mulvihill, the course manager of Lofoten, agreed to sit down and record an episode of the podcast. [...]

Pennard – Wales Tour 2024
The final instalment from our Welsh Tour in partnership with @FootJoy It’s been a blast visiting some of the best Wales has to offer, and Pennard with the sun poking its head out for the last hole was a fitting ending to a magical trip. Pennard, for those that have not heard anything about it, is one of the lost extraordinary courses you can see. A landscape not dissimilar to the moon. A huge thanks to the club for allowing us to make this. It’s been a huge privilege. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=383iQ_4QO_M
Tenby Golf Club – Wales Tour 2024
Tenby Golf Club holds a distinctive place in the history of Welsh golf, conceived by the renowned James Braid, a five-time British Open Champion, evolved to feature 18 holes in 1907. It also played a crucial role as a founding member of the Welsh Golfing Union. When we arrived at 11pm to total darkness and saw the recently refurbed accomodation, and all the trappings of luxurious staycations we didn't quite know what to expect from Tenby - perhaps worrying that they prioritised the off-course aspects over the links itself. We could not have been more wrong, and the fact that more people haven't flocked to Tenby in their droves is simply staggering to us. This course has been extended over time to the current 18 hole routing it enjoys, with 3 holes 'across the road' at 15-17. We didn't play these due to the weather, and i suspect this is [...]
