  • Episode 146: TGH 146: American Golf Museum
    Dec 2 2025
    Don't let the title of this podcast fool you - don't let it lull you to sleep thinking this is going to be a boring podcast about a museum. It's only a museum in the way that PT Barnum described his museum - this is a spectacle to behold and for the next hour plus, let it entertain you. What I promise you is this - like me it will surpise you and i guarantee it will make you smile.

  • Episode 143: TGH 143: The History of Tom Bendelow
    Sep 22 2025
    A podcast four years in the making has finally arrived - the TalkinGolf History has shared the stories of Donald Ross, AW Tillinghast, Dr. Alister MacKenzie, Seth Raynor, Walter Travis, James Braid, Perry Maxwell and finally after years of trying to make it happen we have the story most of you don't know. Tom Bendelow's story is a story about the early days of American golf and yet a story that has somehow escaped the history books. I am so proud to present the History of Tom Bendelow with his own Grandson, Stuart Bendelow as our guest.

  • Episode 142: TGH 142: MacKenzie and Cypress Point
    Aug 31 2025
    As we countdown until the days of the playing of the 2025 Walker Cup at the Cypress Point Club, I thought it would be great to look back at the History of Dr. Alister MacKenzie and Cypress Point with our special guest Sean Tully. Its a great show where we ask the question - what would Dr. Mackenzie's career looked like, had Seth Raynor not passed away suddenly in 1926. We discuss the semi-recently found routing plans that may predate both Mackenzie and Raynor. Enjoy the show and the 2025 Walker Cup!

    Welcome to a new series on the TalkinGolf History Podcast called: 100 Objects That Changed the Game of Golf. Today on our show I share the story of Lou King and the Amana VIP Hat.
