Our 2nd course in our Scottish triple header was Trump International Aberdeen, which is and has been, a divisive course for many reasons. We wanted to give this course a fair chance and see what we thought of it.

It's been a round that has been on, then off, then on again, so the excitement was already palpable at being able to play.

So we made sure we recorded our preview in the early hours on our drive over to the course.

In this preview, we cover;

- How the round came about

- Discussions of the course only as it's so new

- What has piqued our interest from looking up the course online

- Addressing how much this course, and the other 2 Trump courses, have triggered the most questions

- Our signature hole challenge and side bet

Be sure to have catch up with the review when we do it.

Part One of our Scottish triple header was Gullane No 1 at Gullane Golf Club, in East Lothian, Scotland.

This parcel of golfing land is home to no fewer than 5 top 100 golf courses, and in the wider region, more than 10.

Golf has been played at Gullane in some form since 1650, so this really is the cradle of golf. We're going back to the beginning of this great game of golf.

In this preview, we cover;

- How to say Gullane properly
- The incredible course and club history
- What we're looking forward to at the course
- A special welcome we're set to receive from Dylan, one of the managers at the club
- Our signature hole challenge and side bet

Is this the MOST under-ranked golf course in the UK? We review Hindhead Golf Club, which we played as part of a Surrey double-header, where we were invited to play by friend of the Pod, Andrew, and his buddy Tony.

In our preview, we waxed lyrical about the front 9 and how spectacular it looked. Did it live up to our expectations?

We also got a great welcome to the club by everyone there, which added to the overall impression of the members, and the club, and the Club President, Mr Jack Buchanan joined us for a chat about Hindhead Golf Club and his numerous roles.

What a great ambassador he is for the club, we hope yo enjoy this extra special episode

Billed as a "unique and unforgettable experience", Cruden Bay Golf Club is a very interesting course that we are really looking forward to playing.

It's part of a Scottish trip we're making up to the Aberdeenshire coast, and this is the 3rd Scottish golf course we are playing. It feels like its a proper Scottish golf test, with a dramatic cliffy backdrop with views over Cruden Bay.

We're expecting a complete visual feast, and the course is described as the 2nd most fun in Scotland!

Part 2 of our Surrey double-header is Hankley Common Golf Club. Andrew, who messaged us about playing at Hindhead, has arranged this with a friend of his who is a member at Hankley Common. We can't wait to play here.

The course looks like a proper grown-up test of golf. But what else are we looking forward to? Find out in this preview episode.

We've been invited to play at the glorious Hindhead Golf Club by Andrew, who is a member there. He is a fellow Top 100-er and listened to our episode after playing Aberdovey, which compelled him to reach out and extend the invitation.

In our preview, we discover why this golf club is one we're really looking forward to, in particular, a spectacular looking front 9 holes that look like a roller coaster.

We dive into the highs and lows of the fifth annual Nish Invitational golf tournament held at Worsley Park Golf Club, where twelve players battled Singapore-like heat, competitive tension, and occasional controversy.

• Custom welcome packs including personalised Titleist Pro V1 balls, tees, ball markers, and divot tools set the tone for a special day
• Extreme heat forced even the most traditional golfers to break their own rules and wear shorts
• Worsley Park proves the perfect venue with its playable course, practice facilities, and communal spaces
• Nearest to pin competition created drama when one player celebrated too early only to be beaten by mere inches
• The competition format using Squabbit tracking included a hidden leaderboard after hole 15 for added suspense
• Paul's controversial practice round the week before became a running joke throughout the day
• Debates over gimme putts showed the friendly but competitive nature of the group
• Players universally enjoyed the experience despite varied performances on the course

We're already planning next year's event which promises to be even bigger with more participants and potentially some format adjustments. Join us at West Lancs where the trophy will hopefully be returned to its rightful owner!
