  • North Hants, Hampshire, England
    May 18 2024

    The course where US Open champion and Ryder Cup hero Justin Rose mastered the game. Don't get lost on the way....it's North Hants, not Northants! It's about to undergo major renovation work which should help it retain its place in England's Top 100.

    Did Neil succeed in nailing his first ever hole in one?

  • Rosapenna, County Donegal, Ireland. Part 2: St Patrick's Links
    May 13 2024

    Is this is the most spectacular course we've ever played?

    St Patrick's Links opened only three years ago, but a layout some have hailed as Tom Doak's masterpiece has already leapt into the top 50 in the world!

    We played it on a beautiful day when the course had surely never looked better. The scenery takes your breath away. But how did St Pat's play? And does its lack of on-site facilities let it down?

    Plenty to talk about in this episode...including how Ian had his BEST ROUND EVER! But don't let that put you off listening....
