Sam & Tom speak to Henry and Walker. A four way chat with two fellow podcasters: The Tie began in 2021 by two collegiate players Henry & Walker who shared a deep love for the game. Not just the competitive elements of the Tour and high ranking Amateur events, but also Course Architecture and the cultural side of the game. This is a beast of an episode.

168 - Cees Collart - Sustainable Agronomy17 Jan 202300:49:48

Kicking off our first piece of content from our Netherlands Tour in October 2022 with Cees Collart, Chairman of Sustainable Golf at the R&A. Cees has spent much of his life around the game, spending time in England & Scotland as well as The Netherlands, now playing much of his golf at Eindhoven. Through some regular matches we have been friends with Cees for some time now, and getting to record a podcast with him about the work he is leading on sustainable agronomy was great fun. 

Really interesting stuff in here about turf types, turf management, and the running game, all speaking t the future of sustainable golf which will be in shades of yellows and browns rather than the saturated greens we have been used to seeing in recent decades. Who would have known you could have sustainable turf in the Middle East. 

Don't forget our first course film from our Netherlands series starts this evening (17th JAN) over on YouTube at 7pm GMT. 

Big thank you to our series sponsor FootJoy for making this possible.

163 - A Christmas Party and a frost delay at Rye16 Dec 202200:36:38

A bit of a rinse repeat from our last years Christmas shenanigans, but then again, if it isn't broken, why fix it? On the 8th December we held our annual Christmas Party at Urban Golf in London, and followed it up with a day down at the bitterly cold Rye to blow off the cobwebs! 

It is yet another reminder of the wonderful reminder of the great community of golfers that we have around the country and being able to bring everyone together and share these experiences with is the biggest highlight for us at Cookie Jar! Cannot wait for 2023, and really ramping up on things!

159 - Clyde Johnson: When Shaping meets Architecture01 Nov 202201:13:13

After getting an absolute 'hosing on' at Moortown Golf Club in the morning we took refuge in the Billiard Room to dry off, play some snooker and record a podcast with Clyde Johnson. Clyde works independently in the UK helping to restore the original character of many of the famous courses in the British Isles including Moortown, Alwoodley and Denham, as well as working for Tom Doak's firm 'Renaissance Golf Design' on all sorts of other exciting projects.

In here we talk about his career path, his love for the game, his work at some notable new build projects like Tara Iti, St Patrick's Links and the most recent Te Arai.

Clyde is extremely knowledgable and we could have sat there all afternoon if we didn't have a long drive ahead of us! For more on Clyde head over to http://www.cunningolfdesign.com/about

158 - John McLoughlin: Leadership in Greenkeeping25 Oct 202200:55:17

Course Manager at Wallasey Golf Club - John McLoughlin - joins us for a chat about his career, what has led him to working back on The Wirral and his philosophy on greenkeeping. It's a frank and refreshing take on his role with a focus on leadership, marginal gains and brilliant basics! Much of it sounds like something you would normally find in management consulting, except John is applying it to his work on the course!

We had a great day at Wallasey with John, learning more about the history at the club; the creation of the Stableford system by Dr Frank Stableford, Bobby Jones and his time there in 1930, as well the course and the work that they are beginning to embark on with the help of CDP

252 - Golfing Politicians09 Jul 202400:53:43

With the recent conclusion of the General Election in Britain and a lively debate between Biden & Trump where the nation watched two men well past the age of 70 arguing over who was the better golfer, we decided to look at golfing politicians over time.

In stark contrast to the US, where almost all US Presidents play the game, the UK has a much thinner spread. We talk about A.J. Balfour, Lloyd George, Macmillan, Whitelaw, and Churchill, as well as others like Laddie Lucas, Longhurst, and Tolley.

We even look at who would be in our political 4-ball and where we would play!

156 - Course Diaries: Corballis Links w/ Darragh Garrahy13 Oct 202201:05:42

Our latest Course Diaries episode takes us across the Irish Sea to Corballis. Golf has been played at Corballis Golf Links for over 100 years, and whilst its previous occupants may have moved onto to larger acreage further inland, its current use a local pay & play facility just 20 minutes from Dublin airport makes it the epitome of fun, affordable and provocative golf design within easy reach of the capital. 

Sam is joined by Darragh Garrahy, professor of pace putting and chairman of greens at Portmarnock in Dublin who has been enjoying this local course for many years and who Sam enjoyed playing with back in May 2022!

155 - Matt McClean: US Mid-Am Champion 202227 Sep 202200:41:51

Sam & Tom catch up with recent mid-Am champion Matt McClean following his epic win over in Erin Hills a week ago. Matt now becomes one of only 4 Irish players to have won a coveted USGA title, adding his name to Graeme McDowell, Rory Mcilroy and Padraig Harrington. Matt played in an all Irish final with travel buddy, roomie and friend Hugh Foley who has also enjoyed a stellar season on the amateur circuit.  The final was interestingly played over two days owing to a rain delay from earlier in the week which involved the finalists heading out for a steak dinner in the evening and no doubt discussing the day ahead. 

Matt now looks forward to a big year in 2023 with a spot in the US Open at LACC, no doubt an invitation for the 2023 Masters at Augusta National and selectors will find it tricky to not pick Matt we suspect for the Walker Cup in 2023 at St Andrews.

154 - Course Diaries: Royal North Devon or Westward Ho! w/ historian Robert Fowler23 Sep 202201:06:17

Sam & Bruce re-live some of the fun from Devon a few weeks ago where they played in the Silver medal (the oldest medal in English Golf) and The Kashmir Cup. 2 parts of a legendary week of golf played at Westward Ho! annually. This is a 2-part podcast with Sam & Bruce talking about the course specifically and trying to figure out why the links split opinion so heavily, as well as our interview with club historian Robert Fowler who wrote the history book for Royal North Devon as part of their 150th anniversary year. 

Robbie is great fun, and someone who has been around RND for pretty much all of his life. Amazing to think he actually shook hand with JH Taylor back in the late 1950's!

Royal North Devon is the oldest golf club in England that still occupies the same land it was built on and known affectionately as 'the cradle of English golf'. Many greats have been members here over its 158 year history including the Horace Hutchinson (the earliest golf writer in Britain) and John Henry Taylor. For more on these figures head over to our fairly recent podcast with Stephen Proctor who talks about the characters during the great boom period in English golf as part of his book - The Long Golden Afternoon. 

Many thanks to the club for hosting a wonderful week of golf! Special shout out to Mike Harris & Dan Davies, as well as Blair, Hugo & Dale for the company along the way!

153 - Course Diaries: Church Stretton11 Sep 202200:48:03

On one of the hottest evenings of 2022, Sam went out to visit Church Stretton, playing with local member Cameron and his brother-in-law and ex-England cricketer James Taylor. Todays episode is with Sam & Tom discussing Church Stretton, and some of the truly jaw dropping land that this golf course is situated. 

Church Stretton is a simply marvellous golf club, and one of the most memorable courses you can play. A trifecta of opening par 3's, holes of all shapes and sizes and of course a healthy dose of half-par's make this a must visit for the travelling golfer seeking adventure on a shoestring budget!

151 - Course Diaries: Delamere Forest24 Aug 202200:36:11

We get back into the swing of course diaries this week. 

Sam visited Delamere Forest a few weeks back - located just south-west of Manchester - it’s a Fowler/Heathland classic. Delamere is a long way from the Surrey Sandbelt where you would usually expect to find a course of this ilk and it boasts some incredible elevation change, natural green sites and bunkering on a piece of land that feels just about as removed from everyday life as you could hope for!

Next week we’ll be recalling East Lake and getting into the weeds on all things from the professional circuit.

149 - Ian Wright: Caddie to Seve Ballesteros16 Aug 202201:01:33

Our podcast with Ian is the last from our time up in St Andrews at the Sounder clubhouse at The Scores Hotel. Sam is joined by fans favourite Dan Davies podding live and on stage. Ian's story about how he fell into caddying for Seve is a fascinating one, including some of the key events along the way (including the development of yardage books), Ryder Cup appearances, being on the bag for the Lytham in 1988, and what it was like to work with the great man himself. 

It's a great episode filled with plenty of war stories, with a lovely soundtrack of seagulls in the background!

148 - Lee Wybranski09 Aug 202200:48:07

Another form the 150th week, we sat down with Lee Wybranski - golf artist & logo designer. We've been bouncing backwards and forwards for a while on when to record a pod, so it was great to get to do this in person at the Sounder Clubhouse, and his 150th commission certainly provides a great backdrop to the pod!

We knew Lee was going to be a good guest, but no idea how good. He is a wonderful orator and brings his concepts and work to life in a vivid way. Lee is famous for his Major Championship watercolour commissions but we also spend half the podcast getting nerdy about golf logo's - another side of his business and something he is deeply passionate about. Its a brilliant discussion and hope you enjoy it!

For more on Lee - head over to his website and bag yourself a print or two... https://www.leewybranski.com/

147 - Eclectic 18: Erik Anders Lang01 Aug 202201:13:15

Whilst up in St Andrews, we hung out with Erik and his team and decided to record a podcast. Founder of Random Golf Club, Erik has enjoyed a relatively late start in the game of golf, but he's certainly made up for lost time! His adventures in golf have taken him to some of the most remote stretches of golfing land, including Israel, Iceland, Africa and beyond!

We wanted to hear about his personal journey in golf and thought we would do an Eclectic 18 to get his take on on the game, what has shaped his outlook on golf, and led him to where he is today as one of the largest voices on the game. Erik amazingly decided to walk in to this without a pre-populated view on holes or scorecard, instead doing it 'on the fly' which certainly adds some spice to the proceedings... and he pretty much pulls it off which was quite impressive!  

For more on Erik you can visit his social media on @erikanderslang or @randomgolfclub and make sure you check out their website on https://randomgolfclub.com/en-gb
