The week leading into the 2025 PGA Championship, I thought I would reshare one of our fan favorite podcasts titled, "They Won for Everyone." This podcast tells the story of golf's systematic discrimination and the events that led to the striking of the PGA's Caucasian Clause.

Next week the TalkinGolf History podcast will have a brand new podcast on the History of James Braid.

For the US Open we will cover the History of Oakmont Country Club.

On today's podcast we are joined by Augusta Historian, Greg Lamb and we are going to take you inside the gates of Augusta National, inside the clubhouse and share with you some of the great relics of Augusta National's past.

Stephen Proctor's latest book, Matchless" is due out October of 2025 and in it he makes an argument for the match piting USA's Glenna Collett vs the UK's Joyce Wethered going down as the Match of the Century. These two Titans of the Green propelled the women's game into the international spotlight and laid the groundwork for what would become the LPGA Tour.

Matchless marks Stephen's third golf history book and quite frankly its a trilogy that every golf history lover needs to have on their shelves.

We hope you enjoy this preview of MATCHLESS!

I’m thrilled to introduce a podcast that has been on my mind for seven years. Allan Robertson, the King of Clubs and the original Champion Golfer, is one of golf’s most fascinating yet untold stories, until now. I’m deeply grateful to Bill Williams for igniting this journey and to Roger McStravick for bringing it to completion.

For the next hour and a half, let me borrow your ears. I promise you’ll learn, you’ll laugh, and you’ll be captivated by the legend who has long waited in the shadows.

If you’re in North America, you can purchase Roger McStravick’s book, Allan Robertson: The King of Clubs, at Auld Grey Toun Golf Books & Collectibles: www.auldgreytoungolf.com.

Welcome to Episode #126 of the TalkinGolf History Podcast - or better said welcome to That Shakespeare Life with your host Cassidy Cash. Today on our/her show we dive into the game of golf, as it was played during the lifetime of William Shakespeare.

I joined Cassidy on her show and I have since added it to my list of regular podcasts. On That Shakespeare Life you get an amazing glimpse into what life was truly like during Shakespeare's life (1582-1616) from making beer or mead to how people brushed their teeth. It is all the things you never knew that you wanted to know about.
