Join us in our preview of the hardest rated course in England, Woodhall Spa Hotchkin Course!

We talk about why it's rated so hard, and the challenges we will face, and we talk more in depth with Jim about his first experience playing a top 100 course and also a links course.

It was really enlightening to get his perspective on both, because it dawned on us that a lot of our listeners may be in a similar boat and his experience may resonate.

 A round and experience for the ages! This episode is our Aberdovey Golf Club review, and what a day it was.

Accompanied by our trusted guide, Gareth, the Chair of Memberships at the club, we took on this stunning golf course, and you'll be surprised to learn of our golf on the way.

We tried to do this great golf course justice in our review, so hear about how we navigated the highs and lows, and you'll hear from the main man himself, Gareth too.

We discuss our signature hole challenge, our side bet, and the acquaintances you make along the journey we call golf.

If we could bottle this golf, feeling, welcome and experience up and take it everywhere with us, we would be very lucky indeed.

A big shout out to all the team at the club, who made us so welcome, and Gareth, who you will be hearing about more in the future too, a true friend of the pod.

You can check out his photography business too for some amazing golf drone footage.

 A golf weekend or trip... it's a thing of beauty! In this episode, we discuss why it's so good, and the key differences between a golf trip in the UK and US.

We've got 2 special guests to help us in our task, the hosts of friends of the podcast, TJ & Gary from The Basic Bogeys Podcast

They joined us to talk golf trips, and as usual, we drifted and meandered and ended up talking all things golf and life.

This was a real fun episode, as always.

 I (Nish) am fascinated by golf culture abroad, and nowhere captures my interest more than Golf in Japan!

It feels very different to how we play golf in the UK, and I wanted to explore that.

In a chat with Kieron from Golf In Japan, The comprehensive guide and service for golfing in Japan, we discovered the golfing customs of Japan, the history of Golf in Japan, and the little touches around a round of golf there that make it so different and so special!

We weren't prepared for just how much knowledge Kieron had, and you can see how that would come in handy when his company is organising golf trips and experiences for visitors from around the world.
