Welcome back to another fun Friday episode of Greens & Scenes! Today, we're discussing the game of golf, and how looking at it from a simple perspective somehow makes it 10x more complicated 😆

All-in-all, the conclusion is we need to take a step back and be proud of what we all achieve as golfers, and that also, G probably needs to see a sports psychologist asap...

Thanks for listening & have a great weekend! 🎧

Welcome back to the Greens and Scenes podcast! 🎧⛳️

Today, Cam & G are discussing the 10 courses located in and around St Andrews 🏰 While the Links Trust operate 7 courses, the Fairmont courses (Torrance + Kittocks) and The Dukes (for now) are separate and represent a few extra options for visiting golfers.

In the area there are a variety of courses for every level of golfer. The Balgove and Strathtyrum are geared towards more of a beginner golfer or someone who is just getting started. Whereas, many of the other courses represent a stern challenge even to the best players, especially when the wind blows are there is some typical Scottish weather! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We are so thankful to have such a great variety of courses on our doorstep and if anyone has any questions about the courses discussed, please leave a comment and we will get back to you! 🙌🏼

In today's episode of 'greens & scenes', Cam and G sit down and discuss one of the pillars of Scottish winter golf (the dreaded fairway mat). While it has caused confusion for those not living in Scotland, it is common to see mats out in use on Scottish fairways from November to March each year. Thankfully they will be disappearing soon and summer rules will come back in 🤩

We also discuss G's 1st tournament of 2025: The Old Course in reverse! Over the history of The Old Course, it has regularly been played both ways and, for a weekend in April, it will again be played backwards 🔙 G managed to get lucky in the ballot for the event and will tee it up alongside several other local golfers in a couple of weeks time 👀

As it is the start of the golf season, that means The Masters is around the corner. Cam gives his pick for the 2025 event and it is certainly not a name that anyone would have expected! 🏆

Today on the ‘greens & scenes’ podcast Cam & G sit down (after some spilt coffee) to discuss their 2025 bucket list 🪣 🤩

While golf in Scotland continues to climb to new heights, we are trying to focus on the hidden gems 💎 and diamonds in the rough that exist among the 600 or so golf courses in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 This follows on from an exciting 2024 where we were able to tick a lot of new courses off of our list ✅

Living in St Andrews, we are exposed to championship level courses day in day out so our bucket lists look a little different to normal as we want to focus on new and remote areas of Scotland that we can visit (islands included 👀)

As well as all of these new places, we are also looking forward to exploring more of the golf courses located on our doorstep in the Kingdom of Fife 👑

Join us as we discuss our 2025 schedule and make sure to give us your suggestions as to courses we should go and play with our 1 free weekend in the remainder of the golf season! 🙌

In this episode of 'Greens and Scenes' Cam & G chat about a recent round from Cupar Golf Club (also known as the oldest 9 hole golf club in the world).

Located within 20 minutes of St Andrews, this historic 9-holer is in a fantastic location for us and the many thousands of tourists visiting the area each year. It is also the 1st new Scottish golf course we have managed to explore in 2025!

Opened in 1855, the course has to be taken as you find it. Built on a slope, with the greens sculpted into the hill, it is a challenging short course where precision is very important. Miss the small greens and up & downs are hard to come by!

We had a great match which will be coming to the @cggolfs YouTube channel soon! Tune in to find out who comes out on top 👀

On today's episode of Greens & Scenes, we'll be running through Cam's five main areas to focus on if you want to lower your handicap from around mid-teens, early-twenties, down to single figures. We talk through the importance of working with the right golf coach, course management, getting confidence in a couple stock shots and of course, the mental side of golf, and the things we can do to make it easier.

Both Cam & Georgina have had various levels of coaching over the years, bringing us both down to +2 handicaps currently. It's easy to take this for granted at times, and assume everyone knows these areas of knowledge that we've picked up over the years, however, we know that isn't the case for everyone. Hopefully, we've been able to share some useful info with you guys!

As always, let us know your thoughts or questions on this podcast below 🎧 thanks for listening, and make sure you're following along!

Today we are discussing one of our favourite 9-hole courses - Covesea Links. Located in the North of Scotland, it is surrounded by many championship links courses. Covesea is the perfect compliment to one of these links courses on a trip up North and it’s 9 holes have so much character, as well as some amazing views!

The course is relatively new, but has a timeless feel to it, which is credit to the natural design. We discuss the course layout at Covesea, as well as the wider area and golf scene up in that part of the world.

We were very lucky to play there last year on a trip to the nearby Lossiemouth and our full match can be found on our YouTube channel (@cggolfs) 📺

One of the most common questions we get asked when people find out our handicaps, is of course, would you ever consider turning pro?

Now, we have a lot to unpack on this. From the mental side of competitive golf, to the gap in performance between a scratch and elite level tour player, that a lot of golfers struggle to comprehend.

In this episode, Cam & G will discuss their thoughts on if they'd ever consider turning pro, at any level of the game, and what the future might hold for their amateur golf aspirations.

Thank you guys for watching! Make sure you're following along for more Greens & Scenes podcasts, here with CGgolfs 😁🎧
