  • Great podcast

    Great podcast, really interesting and useful. Love the tilt towards the so called ‘lesser’ courses as seems like we’ve had to concede the prestige ones over to our American friends. Pods on the Welsh and Scottish gems are brilliant.

  • Super , smashing

    Seems daft reviewing Augusta the week of the pga championship, bit dated lads.

    Sort the sound out as well!

    Otherwise, it’s good to hear the reviews, particularly lesser known courses
