Half Par Holes by @halfparkid
@halfparkid (Peter) is a mysterious instagram character, who - like many - have built an anonymous social media presence around something he loves, able to share the finer details of bunkers, clubhouse lunches and green-to-tee transitions with a wider audience than just his school friends. Obsessed with British club culture and great architecture, we’ve been friends with Peter for a few years now and despite his diminutive frame, and bearing more than just a slight resemblance to the Superbad teenage tragic ‘McLovin’, there’s a huge golfing brain in there (as well as talent). Peter played full time for several years, competing all over the world, and until recently was ranked 600th in the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR). However, he now finds more enjoyment in the less competitive side of golf and the appreciation of the obscure. Here is his take on ‘half-par holes’... - Just before Christmas I was [...]

On a recent visit to the Kent coast, Tom managed to sit down with architect Martin Ebert from Mackenzie & Ebert. Mackenzie & Ebert advise many of the most highly ranked existing courses in the world, including eight of the ten Open venues, so sitting down with Martin to get his thoughts into what makes good golf was a real interest to us.
