Guests of the Pod
149 – Ian Wright: Caddie to Seve Ballesteros
Our podcast with Ian is the last from our time up in St Andrews at the Sounder clubhouse at The Scores Hotel. Sam is joined by fans favourite Dan Davies podding live and on stage. Ian's story about how he fell into caddying for Seve is a fascinating one, including some of the key events along the way (including the development of yardage books), Ryder Cup appearances, being on the bag for the Lytham in 1988, and what it was like to work with the great man himself. It's a great episode filled with plenty of war stories, with a lovely soundtrack of seagulls in the background! Big thank you to all the guys at Sounder Golf for hosting us up at the 150th Open Championship, and if you want to check them out head over to www.soundergolf.com Latest Products [...]
148 – Lee Wybranski
Another form the 150th week, we sat down with Lee Wybranski - golf artist & designer. We've been bouncing backwards and forwards for a while on when to record a pod, so it was great to get to do this in person at the Sounder Clubhouse. We knew Lee was going to be a good pod, but no idea how good. He is a wonderful orator and brings his concepts and work to life in a vivid way. Lee is famous for his Major Championship watercolour commissions but we also spend half the podcast getting nerdy about golf logo's - its a brilliant discussion and hope you enjoy it!For more on Lee - head over to his website and bag yourself a print or two... https://www.leewybranski.com/ Latest Products
147: Eclectic 18 – Erik Anders Lang
Whilst up in St Andrews, we hung out with Erik and his team and decided to record a podcast. Founder of Random Golf Club, Erik has enjoyed a relatively late start in the game of golf, but he's certainly made up for lost time! His adventures in golf have taken him to some of the most remote stretches of golfing land, including Israel, Iceland, Africa and beyond!We wanted to hear about his personal journey in golf and thought we would do an Eclectic 18 to get his take on on the game, what has shaped his outlook on golf, and led him to where he is today as one of the largest voices on the game. Erik amazingly decided to walk in to this without a pre-populated view on holes or scorecard, instead doing it 'on the fly' which certainly adds some spice to the proceedings... and he pretty [...]
146 – Author Michael Morrison
In our recent trip to St. Andrews, we met up with author Michael Morrison. Mike has just released his fourth book The Great English Golf Boom 1864 - 1914. Intriguing conclusions come through the book and a fascinating insight into the birth of the English Golf Club.

The Post Major Money Grab
July is an important milestone in the calendar of golf. It signifies the end of the major season, and what a major season it has been. We have had Scotty Scheffler win at Augusta National, dominate the early season and rise to world number 1. Justin Thomas then overcame a shank in the final round to close out a wonderful PGA. Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick winning the US Open and his first PGA tour victory on the same course he won the US amateur and Cam Smith closing in style with an 8 under par 64 to win the 150th Open at St. Andrews. July marks the end of the major season and with that cash grab of the PGA final stages commences. This has always been the way. The major season finishes and the players embark upon the journey to make the final 30 in the FedEx standings (other [...]
