January 28, 2025 Episode 126: TGH 126: Golf in the Time of Shakespeare
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.

June 06, 2024 Episode 118: TGH 118: The Gathering at Pinehurst
As we close in on the 124th playing of the US Open at Pinehurst, I thought it would be a great time to rollback the podcast to a show we recorded during the pandemic.
Recorded and filmed from Golf Club Atlas Headquarters in Pinehurst, NC, this podcast includes the Founder of Golf Club Atlas, Ran Morrisett, Kyle Frantz Golf Design, former President of the Donald Ross Society, Brad Becken, CEO of Story Lounge Film Company and current President of the Donald Ross Society and myself.
A great podcast that celebrates Pinehurst and the genius of Donald Ross.

May 23, 2024 Episode 117: TGH 117: Instruments of Change: Mosk & Sifford
We welcome author Peter May back to the podcast to discuss his latest book: "Changing the Course: How Charlie Sifford & Stanley Mosk Integrated the PGA."
A wonderful expansion on the DocuPod I recorded years ago by the title: "The Caucasian Clause." Peter May's study of the events that took place between 1896 and 1962 was thorough and tells the story, while not a happy one, of the creation of the PGA, the PGA Tour and the PGA Championship we know today.
