361 – Course Diaries: Conwy Golf Club

Sam & Tom sit down to review their visit to Conwy Golf Club on the north coast of Wales. With a history stretching back to 1869, and Hoylake professional Jack Morris the man behind the initial design, Conwy is a breathtaking piece of land on which to play golf. We had a great time here, settling a club championship match in a four-club wind.In more recent years, Frank Pennink re-designed much of the course following the two World Wars in the first half of the 20th century. Most recently, Mackenzie & Ebert’s work with the club has seen gorse removed, green sites enlarged, and bunkers returned to more naturalised shapes.For those of you who follow the trials and tribulations of our matches on the road, the ‘Club Championship’ section of the website is filled with match reports as we go, along with a league table tracking our performance [...]

18 Hole Spotlight – Sam at Glasgow Gailes (over/under 77.5)

Sam takes on Glasgow Gailes, part of Glasgow Golf Club, set on the Ayrshire coast. Regular listeners to the pod will know that Peter played here in the Tennant Cup in 2025 — the oldest amateur open stroke play event in the game. Gailes was designed by Willie Fernie when the club - founded in 1787 - took on land for a second course along the coastline. It is one of the most comfortable walks in the game, and despite very little change in elevation, the subtle contours, small greens, and a routing that takes you in every direction make it a great fun and searching test. The heather adds another layer of excitement throughout. We adore Gailes for all of these reasons. In this episode, Sam’s target is 77.5.   https://youtu.be/aT8zqzIvFPM
