In Episode 26 of the Full Program Golf Podcast, we’re joined by world record holder Josh Simpson, who recently set a remarkable new benchmark for the most different golf courses played in a single year - an incredible 652.

Over the course of 12 relentless months, Josh teed it up across six countries and played virtually every golf course in the UK worth knowing about. We dive into some of the most significant golfing regions he visited, getting Josh’s honest thoughts on the courses that lived up to the hype - and the ones that surprised him the most.

Josh also shares insight into some lesser-known and newly opened courses that very few golfers have had the chance to experience yet, making this episode a treasure trove for anyone who loves discovering great golf.

But this journey was about far more than a record. Josh undertook the challenge to raise money for charity after tragically losing his mother to cancer, turning an extraordinary golfing feat into something deeply meaningful.
