Kicking off with our film on Eindhovensche Golf, this was our first taste of golf in the Netherlands and, curiously, it’s the only club in The Netherlands without the word ‘club’ after its name. The history of Eindhovensche Golf is inseparably entwined with one of the great household names in electronics which was founded in the industrial city of Eindhoven in 1891: the Philips Company.  One of the co-founders, Anton Philips, along with his wife, Anna, had the inspiration to develop recreational and leisure facilities to attract prospective employees to their headquarters. Harry Shapland Colt was engaged to design the course, which opened for play in 1930.  The course at Eindhoven is a majestic heathland which weaves its way through an immense forest. One could easily fit two or three courses on this site but, to the credit of Eindhoven’s membership, Colt’s vision remains intact - indeed, [...]

Trailer for Netherlands Golf Series. We played 5 courses in 4 days. A truly epic experience! Big thanks to Eindhovensche Golf, Utrecht De Pan, Kennemer Golf & Country Club, Noordwijkse Golf Club & Koninklijke Haagsche! https://youtu.be/XhBbc6-8NFE  

''The Crump Cup of British Indoor Golf'' as it was affectionately dubbed! 70 people all flocked to Urban Golf in Smithfield, London to spend the evening spreading some festive cheer, a few holes on the sims and a few cold ones! A massive thank you to Urban Golf for laying the event on for everyone. The competition mirrored the format of a mid-am! A full match report can be found on our blog section of our website (linked below) - essentially a 3 hole qualification stroke play round to determine 8 quarter finalists who battled it out on the old course... with one club only! Great fun and looking forward to more events next year! Read our match report for more here https://youtu.be/I4oTFuU5T44

On the 17th October 1860, the first Open Championship was played. A 12 hole routing was in place at Prestwick in the early years thanks to old Tom Morris who moved to Ayrshire following his split from Allan Robertson in St Andrews. Willie Park Snr went on to win that first Open. The 12 hole routing as you will see is significantly different to the stereotypical 'out and back' links that many of the earliest clubs adopted. Holes of various lengths and shapes criss-cross around the course at Prestwick, with enormous amount of drama and challenge. Prestwick have put in a huge amount of work to reestablish this course over the last 12 months as part of the 150th Open Championship celebrations in Scotland, with particular thanks to Dave Edmundson - course manager at Prestwick. Whilst the 12 hole routing will only be in play for a couple of weeks, [...]

A slight twist on our usual films, we wanted to share the story of the 1922 Open Championship at Royal St. George's. The Hagen win in 1922 ushered in a new era of American dominance in the professional game, with a gritty performance over his English and Scottish counterparts. Credit due to Tom Clavin's book 'Sir Walter, The flamboyant life of Walter Hagen', and in there he brilliantly describes the events as they unfolded with Bernard Darwin reporting from the fairways. Royal St. George's is a club steeped in history and one of the most significant clubs in the British Isle's - more can be found out about the club and history, as well as the evolution of the links here. https://youtu.be/_KriFILNaQI

In partnership with The Links magazine, we have developed a short series of micro-films from some of the most storied clubs with 5 obscure facts you may not have known! Know all 5? We'd love to hear from you!

Nestled in the rolling countryside of Devon, is England’s latest ’new build’. A course founded, designed, built and run by visionary Dan Davies. A man with a storied career in golf journalism and writing, he has developed RNGC to revive the short-course competitions from years gone by. The story of RNGC is really the story of Dan Davies. A man who has spent 10 months of more building a golf course to host a special one day invitational event for his friends and loved ones. Despite being a mere 510 yards in total, this 9 hole course makes up for its lack of distance with terrifyingly difficult and intricate green complexes, and waist high ‘bund’ is only ever inches away. Sleeper style hazard placements on the 2nd hole an ode to Oakmont, and the 7th hole - ‘Bell’ is an inverse replica of the 12th hole at Augusta - RNGC [...]

The spring meeting is a staple of the golfing calendar, whereby a group of people convene following a long cold winter to mark the start of the golfing season. At the start of the year, we thought we would have a go at doing one with a twist! Two days in Kent with music, fireworks, great food, world class golf courses and of course, a group of people who share an unrivalled passion for the game! Special thanks must go to Prince's and Royal St. George's Golf Club who, without their extreme generosity and support for Cookie Jar, the event could simply not have been possible. https://youtu.be/t45go-Aeldk

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!
