In 2010 iSeekGolf Podcast's Rod Morri was host of another podcast, TalkinGolf, and caught up with Bill Coore for a lengthy chat ahead of the opening of the Lost Farm course at Barnbougle Dunes. It's a wide ranging and in depth discussion which is as relevant today as it was eight years ago. Special Guest: Bill Coore.

He joins Episode 124 of the iSeekGolf podcast to talk all things golf from his dad's legacy to the ongoing distance debate.

ISG 122: PGA Tour Bashing And The Distance Debate Solved

One of the biggest issues facing golf clubs around the world is a  business model that no longer seems to appeal to the next generation of golfers. With choices many and varied and time tight, the idea of committing to just one clubs is not palatable to many new players. But a business in America has taken an age old golf idea - Scotland's golfing societies - and made it into a modern business. On this week's episode we chat with NewClub Golf co-founder Matt Considine about a concept that is fast gaining traction in the US and could one day be popular around the world.
