207 – Course Diaries: Portstewart

On a recent visit to Northern Ireland, Sam, Tom & Charlie dropped by Portstewart. Often known as something as a 'hidden gem', the club now sits firmly in the itinerary for the travelling golfer only 10 minutes from Royal Portrush. Regarded as having the possibly the most dramatic opening nine in golf, Portstewart is a club with a lot of history, 3 courses and has played host to The Irish Open in 2017 when a cleanly shaven Jon Rahm won. For more on Portstewart head over to our website for a recent blog article. Shoutout to our official unofficial sponsor of todays episode: EasyJet for their antics at the departure gate!

206 – Building a Retro Bag w/ James Day from Sounder Golf

As part of the lead up to our collaboration event at West Byfleet on the 19th October with SounderGolf, we sit down with James Day to run through the iconic clubs from the last 40 years. eBay and used club retailers can be over-facing at times with the vast array of equipment from yesteryear, so this episode is a great peak behind the curtain on what to keep an eye out for online and why building a set of pre-loved clubs is not just rewarding, but often more beneficial for your game than you might think.

Cookie Crumbs #7 – Ronan Rafferty on the Ryder Cup

With the recent fun of The Ryder Cup at Marco Simone, it got us thinking about this episode with one of our favourite all time guests. One of our anecdotes from an early episode with Ronan Rafferty, sharing just how nervous he was when he hit the opening tee shot at The Belfry in 1989. Ronan was a brilliant guest of the podcast and someone we need to get on again! Stories for days, a decorated European Tour player and someone who has spent a lifetime around the game of golf and still loves it as much as he did when he was a kid. Head over to episode 065 for more on Ronan. It's linked herehttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-cookie-jar-golf-podcast/id1493651992?i=1000507794540 Latest Products

205 – Ryder Cup Recap

Sam, Tom & Bruce convene for a rambling recap of the action at the weekend at Marco Simone in Rome. We'll save the hat puns this time, but it was a special weekend of golf which we enjoyed from the comfort of our own armchairs from start to finish! An emphatic win for Team Europe with 16.5 points versus 11.5. A comeback from Team USA which fell just short on 16 with Rickie Fowler finding the water, followed only moments later by a spectator who seemed high on life (and Peroni). Our roving reporter Charlie was on the ground for CJG and will no doubt be sharing his thoughts on the blog section of our website so keep your eyes (and ears) peeled for that! Congratulations once again to Luke Donald and Team Europe, as well as Patrick Cantlay who now shares his wedding anniversary with our 205th podcast episode! [...]

203: Course Diaries – Worcestershire Golf Club

We sit down with friend GCA guru and member of The Worcestershire - David Thomas - to hear more about the history of the oldest club in our own county. Golf goes all the way back in Malvern to the 1870’s and a young H.S. Colt lived here from the age of 2, meaning this is where it all began for the young man who would go on to become one of the most influential course architect in history. Mackenzie would later become the course architect when the club moved site in the 1920’s, and Colt despite being a member of the club for several decades was unsuccessful in being appointed by the club. Fascinating chapter of history that little is spoken about. For overseas listeners, much has been made of the correct pronounciation. Worcestershire is pronounced; ‘Wu-stuh-shuh’ Latest Products [...]
