Royal St Davids Golf Club – Wales Tour 2024

2024-08-16T10:51:51+00:00August 16th, 2024|Video|

Royal St David's - more affectionately known as 'Harlech' - is a truly unique place. Golf has been played here since 1894 when Harold Finch-Hatton was initially using the land to practice his boomerang skills on the links. The club was generally a second club for people heading to the coast, much like Westward Ho! We had a superb time here, having stopped over in town after Welshpool we were on the links at first light, with an afternoon game lined up at Borth & Ynyslas! The 750 year old castle that sits above the links at all times has [...]

Welshpool Golf Club – Wales Tour 2024

2024-08-16T10:50:45+00:00August 16th, 2024|Video|

First stop on our travels through Wales is Welshpool just across the border from England, on the rolling hillside above the town. Welshpool was designed by James Braid in 1929 and features some extraordinary views, elevation change and incredibly good value golf. The sort of place we love most of all!

A Break In at Sunningdale Heath

2024-08-16T10:43:49+00:00August 16th, 2024|Video|

Sunningdale Heath were introduced to renowned graffiti artists Troika paint, to explore how they could collaborate to bring something unique to the Golf Club. Sunningdale Heath is always striving to create an inclusive and fun atmosphere at the club, what better way to do this than through art. Fair to say this has never been done at a Golf Club before. Troika have designed a fun piece of art that is full of inclusive images, inspirational people, amusing illustrations and colour in abundance. From the start everybody involved knew how challenging this would be, something that had never been done [...]

Story of a Golf Club – Alwoodley

2024-08-16T10:41:20+00:00August 16th, 2024|Video|

This is the OG MacKenzie course, a club founded by a number of members from nearby Leeds, one of which was an ambitious Dr who would later go on to design Cypress Point, Royal Melbourne and of course Augusta National. This was the firts course he ever worked on, and his nervous co-members were keen to get the only real household name in the design of golf courses up from London to inspect his work and provide his seal of approval. HS Colt would do just that, and it started a long period where the two worked on courses either [...]

Live from an undisclosed beer garden in South West London, after an 18-hour day, we finally sat down to record this podcast.
