Author Sam Cooper drives to the end of what has been described as England’s longest cul-de-sac only to arrive in Barrow-in-Furness and discover that he still hasn’t reached the golf course. That is found across a small bridge on Walney Island. Host Dan Murphy, editor of NCG Top 100s course rankings, recalls his first visit here and his elation when boarding the 3rd tee to see the golf course unfurling into the distance and towards the Irish Sea.
