Tom visits the Titleist Performance Centre at Woburn Golf Club for a complete custom wedge fitting with Will Harvey, the Vokey Wedge Representative on the DP World Tour. The fitting explores the differences between wedge loft, bounce and grind, and demonstrates how the correct sole configuration can transform the shots [...]

Royal Birkdale has a unique architectural lineage. Founded in 1889, the course as we recognise it today did not take shape until 1932, when the club set out to create the first purpose-built championship links course. Three generations of the Hawtree family have since shaped and refined the links, followed [...]

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 [...]

Sam and Tom set the sat nav due east for two days of golf across East Anglia. First up is Sheringham, one of the Top 100 courses in England, where we sample some of the most dramatic coastline you can play alongside in British golf. After an overnight stay in [...]

In the swampy marshlands of North Florida, Pete Dye was tasked with the impossible: creating architectural theatre from a site once home only to alligators and rattlesnakes. The result was the Stadium Course, a modern temple of golf that felt entirely alien to the "pretty" aesthetic of its era. While [...]

Sam takes on Glasgow Gailes, part of Glasgow Golf Club, set on the Ayrshire coast. Regular listeners to the pod will know that Peter played here in the Tennant Cup in 2025 — the oldest amateur open stroke play event in the game. Gailes was designed by Willie Fernie when [...]

We’ve been admirers of West Sussex Golf Club – affectionately known as Pulborough – for some time now. Not only a fierce proponent of two-ball golf and a brisk pace of play, its exceptional heathland course also carries a rich history and, for generations, has been lauded among the finest [...]
