  • Really good listening…

    The podcasts are terrific… and hearing stories of people who didn’t win but came close… really interesting.

    Will you do something on Peter Thomson? (He won 5 opens). His approach to golf/life was remarkable; acceptance of his ‘cards’, simplicity, rational, humble (but not falsely so)... always with a laugh. (He played 30 Opens and responded to admirers who asked about the 5 wins… said “well I lost 25”).

    Anyway there are great stories out there about this man…
