116 – Richard Bland
Coinciding neatly with the recent release of the Sky Documentary about his win at The Belfry, we recorded an interview with Richard Bland. Without doubt one of the great stories of 2021! In May he picked up his maiden European Tour victory on the 478th time of asking, making him the oldest first time winner on tour which kick-started a truly brilliant seasons performance! It's a great episode as we talk about a load of topics in the game, as well as sleeping on a 36 hole lead in the US Open and his year in general. Latest Products

Rank Outsiders
Preface A few weeks ago, I was plodding my way down the 12th hole at Blackwell admiring the renovation work to the green site as part of the winter programme when Richard Pennell (@pitchmarks on twitter) from Woking Golf Club called me out of the blue. My initial thought was that I was in trouble for something I had said, but after some premature apologies and general well wishes between us Richard quickly got into the reason for the call. He wanted to write more about golf… An art form within the game which is sadly in decline, he asked whether he could put some essays together for us at Cookie Jar linked to some of our other forms of content. Our supporters will know we are only too happy to stand behind other people's professional endeavours and bask in the reflected glory so the answer was of course yes! [...]
Bushfoot Golf Club
Only 6 miles up the road from Portrush sits Bushfoot golf Club, nestled at the foot of the river Bush. Its a small 9-hole community golf club with a great history and some cracking holes! Playing here was a timely reminder why its so important to stay put in one location when travelling so you experience the full breadth of the golf on offer. Not just the trophy courses but the smaller ones that fly under the radar!
