A new short series of podcasts we'll be running to commemorate the 2000/01 Tiger Slam where Tiger Woods claimed all four major trophies in a 12 month stretch. In part one we kick off with Pebble Beach.

Starting the year off as the defending US PGA Champion, Vijay Singh would clinch the first major of the year, but Tiger was playing by far and away the best golf on tour. As such, it's no surprise he teed off at pebble on the Thursday as the bookies 3-1 favourite.

Some exciting news from us this week as we extend our ‘stable’ of podcast from 1 to 2! We’re thrilled to be bringing the Golf Badgers podcast into Cookie Jar!

For those that don’t know, Golf Badgers is a popular industry and greenkeeping podcast which has been going for over a year now. The show is hosted by James Bledge (Links Manager at Royal Liverpool) and Sam Cooper (Course Architect at McDonnell & Cooper) who bring an unrivalled passion for their industries on all matters around turf health, agronomy and how it allows the golf course architecture to really shine.

James & Sam are back with a bang with their latest show which can be found here, and they will be releasing fortnightly episodes comprising of a mix of interviews with course managers and industry leaders, topical episodes, as well as interactive Q&A segments focussing on the seasonal challenges for people in the greenkeeping industry. We think it’s a great fit for not only people who work in the industry, but fellow badgers with an interest in agronomy and the daily trials and tribulations of the greenkeeping world.

Be sure to go and subscribe and follow them on their journey and you can follow them on Instagram or LinkedIn too!
