Final call for those yet to complete the Tip Jar - our online survey which can be found here. 

Huge thanks to Nick Owen - Hon. Sec for The Halford Hewitt - for giving us his time for this special interview on 'the greatest of all truly amateur tournaments' as Nick Tremayne once said. Next week 64 independent schools will once again field their teams of 10 down at Royal Cinque Ports for this gruelling foursomes matchplay knockout event, with the hope of being immortalised on the boards of Deal.

Nick does a wonderful job in this episode in sharing the history and unique character of the event, as well as some highlights from over 40 years of attending the week.

In this episode, Sam speaks to the founder and CEO of Cabot - Ben Cowan Dewar - about his early experiences with the game of golf and how he came to be one of the youngest developers in the business when we began work at Cabot Cape Breton at the age of 25. 

Since then, Cabot has become a powerhouse in the world of resort golf, with the portfolio of Cabot properties growing to Europe in Bordeaux, Scotland with Cabot Highlands which will see the addiiton of the new Tom Doak course (Old Petty) this summer, St Lucia with the latest Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw designed course and Citrus Farms in Florida. 

It's a brilliant example of an entrepreneurial mindset and sheer resilience to keep putting one foot infront of the other despite the obstacles that lay ahead.

Sutton Coldfield was founded in 1889, with golf played on the royal park of Sutton for years before. From a 9-hole course developed by our favourite roofer - David Brown - to an 18 hole MacKenzie layout, it's wonderful example of sustainable year round golf. 

Huge thanks to Pat and Pat for looking after us and having us at the club a couple of weeks ago.

Looking back at one of our favourite episodes, Golf History Fails with Simon Haines (181), and the hilarious discussion on how clubs often celebrate their architects or golfing greats with portraits of entirely different people—proof that once a mistake makes it online, it can quickly become ‘fact.’

Sam and Tom catch up in the office to talk about the history of The Players Championship. First played in 1974 during Dean Beman’s first year as the PGA Tour’s second commissioner at Atlanta Country Club, it’s a fascinating story of how his vision for a flagship event for the tour became a reality, including the unveiling of the Stadium Course and refinements that would make it become what it is today. 

Be sure to check out our YouTube film from TPC Sawgrass, airing at 7 PM on Tuesday, 11th March. A link to the channel can be found here.
