Rank of Ranks – 2025
We first ran this feature all the way back in 2020. Since then, much has happened in the world of golf, none more so than the rampant demand to play some of the finest and most storied venues across all corners. So, given the GB&I rankings have each been updated in recent months, with Top100GolfCourses.com changing theirs this week, we thought we’d see what's happened and how they all stand up against each other. As a recap for those that weren’t with us back in 2020, here’s a refresh on how this is calculated: We take the rankings from each of the four ranking panels across GB&I (Today’s Golfer, National Club Golfer, Golf Monthly, and Top100GolfCourses.com). We attribute their ranking from each of those panels. Where a course is not ranked it receives a notional 115. As there are 129 courses among all four lists, this number feels [...]
Spotlight with Gary Wolstenholme MBE at Ganton
From our time up at Ganton with GB&I's most decorated amateur golfer - Gary Wolstenholme - we managed to talk him into a filmed round amidst the bright yellow gorse. Ganton is a place of huge significance for Gary, not just where he won The Amateur Championship in 1991, but also where he played Walker Cup and Home Internationals. A happy hunting ground indeed. Over/under 73.5 is the target! https://youtu.be/RG4wr7tytUw
Understanding Movement in the Golf Swing with Mark Bull
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
Dr Mark Bull: Movement, Mastery & Meaning
Bruce & Tom sit down with movement expert and performance consultant Mark Bull at the stunning Cumberwell Park. From junior golf memories in Somerset to biomechanics labs and Ryder Cup insight, Mark takes us on a journey through his holistic philosophy on coaching, movement, and human performance. We explore why technique isn’t everything, how beliefs shape behaviour, and why the best swing thoughts might be no thoughts at all. There’s chat about caffeine, chaos theory, kinematic sequences, and even the art of drawing leaves with his daughter. Plus, reflections on Luke Donald, Johnny Wilkinson, and why comfort is the killer of progress. This is more than a golf podcast — it’s a masterclass in how we move, learn, and evolve.Highlights include: Why “getting worse before getting better” might be a myth The problem with predigested learning and “coach insurance” What the feet can tell us about the eyes (yes, really) [...]
