    These are the best holes at The Open: Part 1

    Tom Irwin’s been on a journey this year. He’s somehow managed to blag his way round most of the courses on The Open rota. In honour of the journey, he runs down his favourite holes from the 10 courses that have regularly hosted the Claret Jug. It’s an eclectic – so the 1st hole on Tom’s list must also be the 1st hole at one of the venues – and so on. It’s a meaty task so this week, Tom and host Steve Carroll run through his front nine. We’ll tackle the homeward stretch next time. What do you make of his selections? What mistakes has he made and what did he miss?

    Should players be paid to play in the Ryder Cup?

    Reports the American players will be paid to compete at Bethpage Black next year have caused quite a stir. Is it beyond the pale, or is it a paradox that the people who the galleries flock to see don’t benefit financially from the massive biennial event? Steve Carroll and Tom Irwin get stuck into the debate in this week’s episode and, as you’d expect, they’ve got some firm views on the subject. Does it besmirch the competition, or is it only fair? See if you agree with Tom and Steve!

    Would you pay more for membership to guarantee a tee time?

    Dynamic pricing has been in the news. Yes, we did pay over the odds for an Oasis ticket. But could it have its place in golf? We all know the weekend tee times that are the most popular, so what if you could pay more to guarantee a spot? What if 7-day fees altered depending on the specific time you wanted to play? In this week’s episode of The NCG Golf Podcast, Tom Irwin returns to join Steve Carroll and debate this lively issue. We also talk about England Golf Jeremy Tomlinson’s appearance last week, and, yes, we still can’t get away from the World Handicap System. We ask whether you should have to submit every score for your handicap.

    Is there any chance we could return to the old handicap system?

    We’re joined this week by England Golf chief executive Jeremy Tomlinson. It’s a pretty action-packed episode as we discuss a host of club golf topics with the governing body’s chief executive. He addresses the ongoing criticisms of WHS, considers how golf club membership is looking and whether the post Covid boom is now peaking. We also look at whether traditional clubs are being more open to different formats of play and get into the latest on the Respect in Golf movement.

    What are the best golf courses in GB&I?

    Ranking golf courses is risky business. One person’s heaven is another’s hell. Yet we all love a good list, don’t we?

    He's played every links course in Great Britain - and now you can read all about his adventures!

    Steve Carroll is joined by Sam Cooper to talk about his new journal and website project – Links From the Road. Sam went on a road trip we all wish we could take. With a set of clubs, his partner, their dogs, and a van, he toured 225 links courses around England, Scotland and Wales. The journey changed his life. Now a well-known podcaster, and an associate golf course architect with Clayton, Devries and Pont, he has branched out into writing. Talking with Steve about the first of a multi-volume set that retraces his steps and details the courses he played, it is quite the conversation. If you love golf courses, you have to listen… The first volume of Links from the Road is launched on October 16. You can pre-order it right now at linksfromtheroad.com
