050 – The Masters with TrottieGolf
This year, the wait for The Masters has been excruciating with set backs and lock downs, so who better to celebrate our 50th episode, a prelude to Augusta this week, than with friend of the pod - Chris Trott from TaylorMade. Inside the ropes and behind the scenes, talking about one of the most anticipated tournaments in history... what will the course look like, how do the players prepare for the event, and whats going in and out of the bag for the worlds best as we approach Thursday!
049 – Sam Cooper – @links_from_the_road
We got to catch up with Sam about van life and the first leg of his journey as he, his wife Harriet and the dogs travel the coast of the UK playing 192 of the best inks courses across the country. Battling against the never ending Covid-19 restrictions, hopping from town to town in search of the next adventure it's great to hear how his plans are always changing. Now over on the East Coast, having covered much of the West Coast of Scotland, namely Kintyre, Ayreshire and up over the North Coast 500 playing some lesser known courses, it's refreshing to hear about the courses that often fly under the radar or the areas that are less well travelled by the everyday golf tourist!
048 – Malcolm Duck & East Lothian
While we were in Scotland, we spent some time with Malcolm Duck, proprietor of the Ducks Inn, in Aberlady. Malcolm is a famous local figure in the golfing world, hosting anyone who’s anyone as they meander their way through East Lothian’s smorgasbord of wonderful courses. Malcolm was closely involved in the inception of Renaissance, in fact Tom Doak designed Renaissance right from Malcolm’s green room in the pub, and interestingly, a famous local sport (Barstool Putting) was born in these very walls, so we thought why not record a pod to tell you all about it!
047 – Golf Stats & Data With Lou Stagner
We’ve been looking forward to this for some time! Lou is a self confessed golf nut and data nerd, and through his work with Scott Fawcett and DECADE he has an immense level of understanding of the stats surrounding the professional and amateur game! This is a great insight into the numbers behind the game of golf, with some shocking stuff around how to better use stats in your own game as well as the fine margins that separate the worlds best from the rest of the professional golfers. We hope you enjoy, and maybe take a few of these principles out onto the course as well!
046 – Sei Young Kim, Hatton’s Hoodie, and Bryson’s Lack of Skill
The full squad are back together for a debrief of this past week's professional tournaments, and to take dead-aim at some loaded topics in our sport: purse disparities between the men's and women's games, the place of hoodies on the golf course, and Matt Fitz's choice words on the distance debate.
045 – Scottish Open, Sergio’s Comeback Win, and Cal’s Winter irons
We recap a dramatic weekend of golf (and weather!) at the Scottish Open, where Aaron Rai emerged victorious at the Renaissance Club. The gang also dissects Sergio’s new method of putting with his eyes closed, and we hear about their own golfing exploits this past week: Bruce’s pondering of swing mechanics, Tom’s round at Woodhall Spa, and Cal’s bold strategy for winter ball striking…
044 – My First Major Championship with Lukas Michel
Lukas rejoins the pod to chat to Bruce & Cal about his first major championship appearance at Winged Foot. After his initial appearance on the pod earlier this year before Covid-19 hit, we get to hear about what he’s been up to in the USA in between the US-Am, US Open and The Masters in November! From digging bunkers and driving bulldozers, to teeing it up with the worlds best!
043 – Golf Course Architecture with Evalu18 (Jasper Miners and Sam Cooper)
We spent some time with Jasper Miners and Sam Cooper from Evalu18 who are doing some incredibly exciting work with their website helping to simplify golf course architecture and celebrate the rich history of golf courses up and down the UK, as well as bringing it to homes around the world with some truly stunning artwork. We had a great time chatting away about how courses are ever evolving, and how the current renaissance of GCA is shifting the focus on how we see & enjoy golf in the UK.
042 – Cleeve Hill: Story of a Golf Club – #savegolfonthehill
To coincide with the launch of our latest ‘Story of a Golf Club’ YouTube film, we are joined by Golf Club Atlas contributor Sean Arble, and course architect Robin Hiseman who both share a special connection with Cleeve Hill. The course is planning to shut in March next year, as the council have deemed golf there as not being financially viable in today’s climate. This course is the epitome of golf in the Auk. Stunning, historic, fun and most of all accessible for golfers of all abilities and budgets! The story of Cleeve Hill is a sad one, but we hope, that Golf on the Hill can be saved for future generations!
041 – US Open Round-Up with Chris Trott AKA Trottie Golf
The boys are joined by Trottie (who after his first guest appearance couldn’t stay away) to talk through Bryson’s win at Winged Foot in what many see as a watershed moment for the game. Wherever you stand on the distance debate and the strategy Bryson has used this year, it’s certainly got people talking! We are also in middle of club champs season, and Trottie could resist telling us about his recent (nett) win at Goat Hill last week! Enjoy
