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. Before Christmas, Sam was a guest on their show talking about some trips in England on a shoestring budget and we were curious what $1,000 would get you for a trip round the Carolinas! Stand by for some really surprising picks. We also talk about the collegiate golf scene, podcasting and growing a presence in a world awash with golf podcasts.

Jim joins the podcast this week to talk about his recent book: When Revelation Comes. The book is a story about his travels through Scotland following the tragic death of his son Jordan. Jim is one of the leading authorities on West Coast golf in Scotland, and the various nine hole / honesty box courses that seem to have been walked into existence over recent centuries.

The book is hugely emotional, uplifting, and interesting, as well as being a great read on golf travel to some of the more remote corners of Scotland. Listeners can get 20% off this book by using code: '20OFF' at backninepress.com so head on over and make sure you get a copy of this for yourself!

A rambling chatter between Sam & Tom on their golf, their own goals this year, the recent WM Phoenix Open, the upcoming Full Swing series over on Netflix and more. This one lacks structure, and substance, but apart from that it’s great!

The second instalment of our two part tour podcast from The Netherlands. our time at Kennemer, Norrdwijkse, and Koninklijke Haagsche (just go with Royal Hague - much easier to pronounce)!

Appreciate this is a beast of an episode and only Joe Rogan can really get away with 3 hour podcasts, hence why we broke it into two chunks!

Big thanks to our series sponsor Footjoy for making this trip a reality, our friends in The Netherlands and of course the clubs who supported this and allowed us to bring you all this content!
