  • Rise and Demise Series

    For any history buff, these are awesome. For golf history buffs, these are even more compelling. It is great to listen to these, and then look at the company’s product across my office (staring at an old Hogan iron at this moment). Keep up the great work on all of the podcasts.

  • Strong Content…

    But as with most podcasts the hosts talk for too much, stack multiple questions, interrupt, use over the top hyperbole. They need to ask questions and then shut up! They are the interviewers not the interviewees.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 149: TGH 149: Interview Padraig Harrington #1
Q: What role did preparation and mindset play in your major successes, particularly the Opens?
Preparation was a structured, year-round plan focused on contending in multiple majors each year rather than chasing a single big win. Mindset involved maintaining focus, managing fear, and relying on a routine that kept me in the right frame of mind to perform under pressure.
Episode 149: TGH 149: Interview Padraig Harrington #1
Q: Take us back to your earliest memories in golf. How did golf find you?
I describe a childhood shaped by a windy, challenging course near Dublin, where competing with family and local players built a resilient, all-around game. The early environment taught me self-reliance, the value of short game, and a relentless pursuit of improvement rather than chasing a perfect swing.
Episode 148: TGH 148: The History of Musselburgh Links
Q: What compelled you to write Musselburgh, The Cradle of Golf?
Mungo's initial interest was family history, but he realized the broader significance of Musselburgh's story in golf history.
Episode 146: TGH 146: American Golf Museum
Q: How did the idea for the American Golf Museum come about?
Crazy Mr. Z had an epiphany in which he realized he wanted to create a golf museum after years of collecting golf memorabilia, driven by his passion and a dream that urged him to showcase his collection.
Episode 144: TGH 144: The History of William Flynn, Part1
Q: What do we know about William Flynn?
Wayne describes Flynn as a unique architect who was deeply involved in design, construction, and turf management, contributing to many elite golf courses, primarily in Southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
