  • Centurion, Hertfordshire, England
    Jul 1 2024

    Remember the golf course that saw the start of the LIV revolution, with black London taxis ferrying the players to each hole for a shotgun start? After two years, the LIV circus has moved on - to JCB in Staffordshire, but Centurion still hosts an Aramco event for the top female players.

    It's a private club, only members and their guests can play - but Neil and Ian were invited to take on a course with SEVEN par 5s.

  • Tandridge, Surrey, England
    Jun 27 2024

    We're all looking for hidden gems to play....Tandridge certainly isn't hidden, but it is a gem that you might not know much about.

    Surrey is blessed with so many great heathland courses, but this is a parkland track that took our breath away with some dramatic holes. In it's centenary year, has it ever looked better? Well...that's a subject for debate ...even among its members!

    But we loved it.

  • Walton Heath Old & New, Surrey, England
    Jun 20 2024

    Two great courses side by side, and a club that has had four prime ministers and a King among its members. More recently it's hosted a Ryder Cup and tournaments featuring some of the best male and female. players in the world.

    Our special guest is Tom McKibbin, who talks about how his two rounds at Walton Heath earned him a place in his first major - and the chance to play alongside World Number One Scottie Scheffler at Pinehurst No. 2!

  • Lofoten Links, Norway
    Jun 15 2024

    We're back....after a bit of a break while Neil travels to a golf course far, far away.

    Lofoten Links may be like no other course on earth. It's in northern Norway, and because it's in the Arctic Circle, the sun never sets in the summer months. So if you've ever wanted to play golf 24 hours a day, this is the course for you.

    Bring plenty of balls as you won't be able to avoid all the heather...and the rocks.

  • Prestwick, Ayrshire, Scotland.
    Jun 5 2024

    In sport, everyone knows how important it is to be First.

    Prestwick's fame is largely based on being the first venue of the Open Championship. That contest, over the original 12 holes, was won by Willie Park. Prestwick hosted the Open a total of 24 times, but it hasn't staged golf's oldest and most famous competition since 1925.

    So, a century later, does it still stand the test of time, as a true test of lnks golf?

  • Turnberry, Ayrshire, Scotland
    Jun 2 2024

    NOW UPDATED!

    One of the world's greatest golf courses, owned by one of the world's most controversial men. Is it possible to discuss Turnberry without mentioning Trump? Of course not.

    One is universally praised; the other divides opinion like no man on earth.

    Would Turnberry be so good without Donald Trump's involvement? Would it stand a better chance of hosting another Open without his presence?

    Ian and Neil debate these questions - but the focus remains on one of the truly great places to play golf. And they hear why from Quintin Dunlop, Captain of Turnberry Golf Club and Leonard Van Nunen from LeadingCourses.com

  • Silloth on Solway, Cumbria, England
    May 30 2024

    "I loved the place so much I bought it."

    Well not quite...but Neil and his wife played one round at Silloth on Solway and immediately applied for membership. This is a hidden gem and probably the best value top 100 course in the UK, despite rating higher than many illustrious names in the list of great British courses. It can be a trek to get there, but if you do, you'll be rewarded with spectacular views and challenging links.

  • Sunningdale New, Berkshire, England
    May 23 2024

    We're back at England's premier two-course club to play Sunningdale New - which is now more than a hundred years old. It's not quite as highly rated as the Old - but they're both in the Top 100 in the world!

    It's a tough round for Neil, but even more painful for his playing partner...
