Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

405 - Course Diaries: Sunningdale New w/ Gil Hanse & Adrian Pepper
Q: How do you place the New Course alongside the Old, and how does the New complement and contrast with it?
Gil Hanse describes the New as originally open, with bold features scaled to the landscape, while the Old is more compact and defined by its edges. The restoration seeks to restore that distinction.
405 - Course Diaries: Sunningdale New w/ Gil Hanse & Adrian Pepper
Q: What brought you here originally, and how long have you played?
Adrian Pepper moved to London after university, played society golf for several years, and joined Sunningdale around 2000 after knowing members through golf and championship connections.
403: Dean Robertson pt 1
Q: How has your philosophy changed? As you've looked after the university team in that time, were you always like that or have you learned on the job?
Robertson says his approach evolved through his work at Stirling and collaboration with sports psychologist John Mathers. They developed measurable practice games, while the COVID period prompted new TrackMan-based training and other structured exercises.
403: Dean Robertson pt 1
Q: Perhaps sort of give us your own sort of part of journey in the game from growing up and playing professionally.
Robertson grew up playing golf with his father in Paisley, studied civil engineering, then took a golf scholarship in the United States. After learning to win as an amateur, he earned his tour card and played professionally for ten years.
404 - Dean Robertson pt 2
Q: If someone gave you the keys to the kingdom, would you make changes to the format and what would they be?
Robertson is content with the two-day format, while recognizing the event's strong emphasis on singles. He says a three-day format could be considered in the future but does not expect a change soon.
