Join us in this episode of the Top 100 in 10 Golf Podcast, as we play round THREE of 100 at the famous Southport & Ainsdale Golf Club.
With our gracious hosts Matt and Paul, we discuss our experience on the day, how we played, our side challenge, and the excellent facilities of this great club.
A twice host of the Ryder Cup, S&A is rightly held in high regard, but what would our review of the round be?
As usual, it's never a smooth path, and there are plenty of ups and downs, and that's not restricted to the golf!
We had a great day and would like to thank Matt and Paul, and we may have them join us for more courses on the journey ahead.
Can friendships open doors? In this episode of the Top 100 in 10 Golf Podcast, we discover how our co-host Jim, got us onto the famed links of Southport and Ainsdale Golf Club!
His old school friend Paul and his friend Matt (the member at S&A, as it's affectionately know) organised the tee for us.
Here we preview the course, along with what we expect on the day, and we take a humourous look at the information there out there online about a course that is revered among the purists.
What’s the secret behind the ultimate golfing adventure in the UK and Ireland? Join us as we tee off with our special guest, Alex, who embarked on a mission to conquer the top 100 golf courses, inspired by a story from his grandfather during the COVID-19 lockdown. With his milestone birthday on the horizon, Alex shares the highs and greater highs of this exhilarating quest. Alex was a legend and a great story teller, as he regaled us with stories from his 42 courses played so far.
Join me, Nish, and my friend Denika, who is a Physiotherapist and Pilates instructor on this bonus episode of the Top 100 in 10 Golf Podcast.
We had a GREAT chat, talking about her journey in Pilates, how she can help me, and how she can help YOU with your golf as we approach the winter months, where we'd like to play more, but the weather often gets in the way.
The time flew by, and when you listen, you'll be lost in our conversation too.
In this special episode of the Top 100 in 10 Golf Podcast, we answer some the great questions we were sent in by our listeners.
We had a fantastic time answering these and so much so, that we had to do it as a 2 part episode.
We hope you enjoy this as much as we do, and THANK YOU for caring enough to send these through, it means a lot to have the chance to have this kind of interaction with you all out there.
Brrrr... it's here... WINTER! How will we go about keeping everything progressing over these colder months. And we don't just mean the quest, but also our games.
We've started grappling with our respective golf games as we bed in the challenge to play the top 100 golf courses in 10 years. Maybe the scores are starting to matter a bit more.
In this episode, we chat about what we've booked next year, our experience of golf simulators, and check in with Chris about his progress with his golf lessons.
It's always one of the first questions to come up on any top 100 golf courses discussion... how do they compile the rankings? Here's your chance to find out...
We did the hard work and dug out the rating and golf course ranking system used by the official top 100 list we're using, and here it is, in all it's glory - for you to digest.
Of course, we take an irreverent look at it, and we also go on to discuss our own ranking "system" and the Dream 18 - our takeaway of the 18 best holes we play as we navigate our way to 100 golf courses in 10 years.
We also never realised how much innuendo we'd in our trawling of the official top 100 website! It's worth listening just to find that out
It's our Christmas Special! We've got some treats for you over the festive period.
We indulge Nish with his Tiger obsession, we have some great tips to have fun if you're brand new to playing golf on a course, and we have some PGA tour stats to put your own game into perspective!
Merry Christmas from The Top 100 in 10 Golf Podcast team!
As we round of the year, and our 18th Episode (some great symmetry there!) we do the Top 100 in 10 Golf Podcast Awards!
Join us as we sum up our journey so far, and pick out some highlights. We also run through our golfing and non golfing resolutions for the year ahead, you might be surprised at them.
We look forward to getting on with the challenge next year and playing some amazing courses next year - happy new year!
In the first episode of 2025, we discuss the annual Nish Invitational, and all that entails.
The Nish Invitational is an annual golf day we organise for Nish's birthday. It's a great fun day, with a bit of healthy competition, and a lot of time spent in the 19th Hole!
Learn about it's history, and what is in store for the 2025 edition.
We've had a great chat with Harbs from @harbs7golf about his experiences playing Golf in the UAE.
In what turned into a very insightful look into a different golf culture, we discussed how he got into the game, his earliest memories, and how the golfing landscape is developing in a part of the world where more tournaments and money is arriving by the day.
We also talked about how our lives are impacted by golf and what the next few years have in store for us.
Guess who's back! Denika's back - our resident Physio!
She's here to discuss all things golf physio related and golf pilates related.
We had a great chat about her general help for us golfers coming out of our winter slumbers, she recommends a quick warm up YOU can do immediately and then she does a great golf physio question & answer session to answer some of your questions.
We're playing a pair competition at Ganton Golf Club in June, in this episode, we chat about comps in general.
They can sound intimidating for the casual, social golfer, but are they really?
Nish & Chris have a chat to find out.
And we're joined by Mark, a listener of the podcast, who reached out to us, and as we started chatting, we discovered we were playing at the same comp!
We had a great chat with him, talking all things Top 100!

This is an episode we've been really looking forward to. A chance to speak to a real emerging talent in golf in the UK.
Ellis told us about his golfing journey so far, how he approaches the game, and the challenges he faces as he tries to carve out a career at the pinnacle of golf.
We discussed aspects like balancing his life at 15, training and help available to golfers his age, and what it's like being a member at a Top 100 golf course, Royal Liverpool (Hoylake)
This was a jam-packed episode and Ellis is really one to watch. Give him a follow on Instagram @elliscourtnellgolf
We headed over to Sheffield to meet Will at Zen Green Stage to chat about what they are doing with immersive indoor golf experiences at a time when TGL is in its first season and grabbing headlines for the technology, particularly THAT green!
In a wide-ranging, and ultimately thoroughly interesting chat, we talked about how technology is impacting golf today and how Zen Golf are using things like the Zen Green Stage and the Swing Stage to improve your game and make you a better all-round golfer.
Will Stubbs is the Managing Director at Zen Golf, where they're leading the charge to make golf more accessible, enjoyable, and sustainable for players of all levels. Zen Golf’s vision of More People, Playing Better, For Longer is at the heart of everything they do. Through products like the Green Stage and Swing Stage, Zen Golf helps golfers train in conditions that replicate real golf courses, enhancing the transfer of learning from practice to play.
Will’s MSc in Sport & Exercise Science gave him a deeper understanding of how sports science can improve coaching methods. His research underscored the importance of adapting golf coaching to the dynamic, unpredictable nature of the sport, moving away from rigid, technique-driven practices.
Will’s passion for creating research-backed, effective learning platforms has helped shape Zen Golf’s approach. By bringing the golf course indoors and enriching it with data they're encouraging golfers to embrace instinctive movement that harnesses their human nature. By fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and inclusive growth, Zen Golf is on a mission to ensure that golfers continue to grow and enjoy the game for years to come.
I (Nish) am fascinated by golf culture abroad, and nowhere captures my interest more than Golf in Japan!
It feels very different to how we play golf in the UK, and I wanted to explore that.
In a chat with Kieron from Golf In Japan, The comprehensive guide and service for golfing in Japan, we discovered the golfing customs of Japan, the history of Golf in Japan, and the little touches around a round of golf there that make it so different and so special!
We weren't prepared for just how much knowledge Kieron had, and you can see how that would come in handy when his company is organising golf trips and experiences for visitors from around the world.
A golf weekend or trip... it's a thing of beauty! In this episode, we discuss why it's so good, and the key differences between a golf trip in the UK and US.
We've got 2 special guests to help us in our task, the hosts of friends of the podcast, TJ & Gary from The Basic Bogeys Podcast
They joined us to talk golf trips, and as usual, we drifted and meandered and ended up talking all things golf and life.
How wonderful it feels to say, this is our first preview episode of 2025, as we look forward to playing Royal St David's Golf Club in Wales.
This forms part of our Welsh weekend away, and Jim is joining us for the very first time. We can't wait, we're sure to get a lovely warm Welsh welcome!
In this episode, we talk about the off season we've just had, and tell you as much as we can about the course so you can get a flavour of what to expect on the day. Look out for our review episode coming in a couple of weeks.
Have we got a story to tell you! In this preview of Aberdovey Golf Club, we tell you about how the story of our booking at Aberdovey developed and why we're looking forward to playing here more than anywhere else this year!
It's the kind of welcome we could get used to, and you will love hearing about how it came about.
We also chat about the course and our various challenges during the round.
We're back playing golf, and we start with a bang at Royal St David's Golf Club in Gwynedd, Wales!
This was the the first part of a Welsh double-header, and the golfing gods were shining on us this day.
We were also joined, for the first time, by our co-host Jim, so he had a little to say about our round as well. Join us as we give you the lowdown of the great value for money Top 100 golf course, that we think is worth sticking on your radar.
Check out our blog which has pictures of our day, and the all-important scorecard
A round and experience for the ages! This episode is our Aberdovey Golf Club review, and what a day it was.
Accompanied by our trusted guide, Gareth, the Chair of Memberships at the club, we took on this stunning golf course, and you'll be surprised to learn of our golf on the way.
We tried to do this great golf course justice in our review, so hear about how we navigated the highs and lows, and you'll hear from the main man himself, Gareth too.
We discuss our signature hole challenge, our side bet, and the acquaintances you make along the journey we call golf.
If we could bottle this golf, feeling, welcome and experience up and take it everywhere with us, we would be very lucky indeed.
A big shout out to all the team at the club, who made us so welcome, and Gareth, who you will be hearing about more in the future too, a true friend of the pod.
Join us in our preview of the hardest rated course in England, Woodhall Spa Hotchkin Course!
We talk about why it's rated so hard, and the challenges we will face, and we talk more in depth with Jim about his first experience playing a top 100 course and also a links course.
It was really enlightening to get his perspective on both, because it dawned on us that a lot of our listeners may be in a similar boat and his experience may resonate.
Catch our unfiltered raw reaction to the final round of the 2025 US Masters.
We're calling it Rory's Redemption, where Rory McIlroy buried the ghosts of the past with a nervy, but drama-packed final round performance to seal his career Grand Slam, thereby joining the pantheon of golfing greats.
This episode is the best bits from the entire 5 and a half hour live broadcast.
We had Masters Myths kindly given to us to use in the broadcast by the guys over at Must Play by The Fairwagers Podcast - go check the episode out for yourselves

Have a look at our scorecard & pictures from the day in our blog
On a stunningly glorious day, we had a blast on these challenging fairways (when we found them) but it must be said, the fearsome reputation that the Hotchkin Course has, is well warranted.

Who is Golf's GOAT? It's a debate that rages on. We looked in AWE at Tiger in our Christmas Special episode, we even had an Instagram post go viral because of it...
So we looked into Jack Nicklaus and his INSANE stats! And we were STUNNED at how good Jack was. The man was a machine. What do you think about the Jack vs Tiger debate? We're BIG Tiger Woods fans, but this got us seriously questioning where we lay in the debate.
Is Jack Nicklaus the GOAT, or is Tiger Woods the GOAT?
It's our 2025 U.S Open top picks & preview episode, with our special guest, Shawn Massie, from The FairWagers and the Must Play Podcast.
Shawn gave us a fantastic overview of Oakmont Country Club, where this year's edition of the US Open is being played, and despite its mighty reputation, history, and the fact that it's hosted the U.S Open the most times, very few people know too much about it.
Shawn was good enough to give us a rundown of the top contenders and the kind of attributes that the winner will probably need.
The Must Play Podcast is one you definitely should check out, we've been meaning to get these guys on for quite a while now.
We're playing in our FIRST EVER Open competition at the famous, but unheralded, West Lancs Golf Club
Invited along by friends of the Podcast, Paul (Jim's friend) and Matt, we're excited about the day ahead at the 9th oldest golf club in England.
A golf course that is known for its stunning golf, and one of the courses on the celebrated and feted "Golf Coast" in and around Southport, we can't wait to test ourselves out there and report back to you.
Ganton Golf Club in Yorkshire is steeped in history. It is a patch of golfing turf that is revered and respected in equal measure.
Ranked 25th on our list, it punches with the big boys, but it's one that only a lot of golf people have heard of. The casual fan may not know of its place in history or that it even exists.
We will be playing Ganton as part of the Mizuno golf pairs competition, so find out what we think lies in store for us at historic Ganton.
People in the know and in and around golf their entire lives know about the reputation and allure of Ganton, but as it's not an Open rota course or host of major tournaments, Nish had never heard of it.
We found out what was so special about this great, historic golf course and club.
We dive into the highs and lows of the fifth annual Nish Invitational golf tournament held at Worsley Park Golf Club, where twelve players battled Singapore-like heat, competitive tension, and occasional controversy.
• Custom welcome packs including personalised Titleist Pro V1 balls, tees, ball markers, and divot tools set the tone for a special day • Extreme heat forced even the most traditional golfers to break their own rules and wear shorts • Worsley Park proves the perfect venue with its playable course, practice facilities, and communal spaces • Nearest to pin competition created drama when one player celebrated too early only to be beaten by mere inches • The competition format using Squabbit tracking included a hidden leaderboard after hole 15 for added suspense • Paul's controversial practice round the week before became a running joke throughout the day • Debates over gimme putts showed the friendly but competitive nature of the group • Players universally enjoyed the experience despite varied performances on the course
We're already planning next year's event which promises to be even bigger with more participants and potentially some format adjustments. Join us at West Lancs where the trophy will hopefully be returned to its rightful owner!
We're joined by Lee from Harbs7Golf, who's a big friend of the podcast, and he loves putting money on sport. He's here to combine his knowledge of betting and his love of golf to give you a bit of an idea as to where the smart money is for anyone looking to bet on this year's Open.
The Open betting tips and predictions in the episode are designed to give you good value, with an eye for an outside bet.
We've been invited to play at the glorious Hindhead Golf Club by Andrew, who is a member there. He is a fellow Top 100-er and listened to our episode after playing Aberdovey, which compelled him to reach out and extend the invitation.
In our preview, we discover why this golf club is one we're really looking forward to, in particular, a spectacular looking front 9 holes that look like a roller coaster.
We're also going up for an award, and are looking for your nominations for the People's Choice Award at the British Podcast Awards - you can vote for us here - if you feel inclined

Billed as a "unique and unforgettable experience", Cruden Bay Golf Club is a very interesting course that we are really looking forward to playing.
It's part of a Scottish trip we're making up to the Aberdeenshire coast, and this is the 3rd Scottish golf course we are playing. It feels like its a proper Scottish golf test, with a dramatic cliffy backdrop with views over Cruden Bay.
We're expecting a complete visual feast, and the course is described as the 2nd most fun in Scotland!
The Most Under-Ranked In The UK? Hindhead Golf Club Review
12 Aug 2025
01:12:19
Is this the MOST under-ranked golf course in the UK? We review Hindhead Golf Club, which we played as part of a Surrey double-header, where we were invited to play by friend of the Pod, Andrew, and his buddy Tony.
In our preview, we waxed lyrical about the front 9 and how spectacular it looked. Did it live up to our expectations?
We also got a great welcome to the club by everyone there, which added to the overall impression of the members, and the club, and the Club President, Mr Jack Buchanan joined us for a chat about Hindhead Golf Club and his numerous roles.
What a great ambassador he is for the club, we hope yo enjoy this extra special episode
