100 years ago, one of the strongest sides ever assembled travelled across on the RMS Berengaria from New York to Southampton to play in the 4th Walker Cup. The trip would allow the likes of Jones, Ouimet, and Sweetser to play in the Open Championship and The Amateur; however, as [...]

Seaton Carew stands apart for a number of reasons. Some might think its because of the unique 22 holes on site, facilitating a number of layouts throughout the year, or the fact it's a pure links course shaped by Dr Alister MacKenzie, but most importantly it's serves as a beacon [...]

Much like the Sunningdale Foursomes or the Halford Hewitt, the Cookie Jar Spring Meeting has become something of a curtain raiser to the season for many of golf’s biggest nerds. This year, we were fortunate enough to stage it at Birkdale and Formby, just three months before The Open returns [...]
