153: Carnoustie Aug 17, 2021

Show notes

The Women's British Open is this weekend at famed Carnoustie so we brought in a true Scotsman, John Huggan, to talk about it. An up-front caveat, though, we spend more time discussing golf at large than we do Carnoustie, because in John's words, there's just not that much going on. So come for Tron and Randy discussing news of the day in the first part of the episode, and stay for John Huggan discussing his wider thoughts on the game of golf in the second part. You can find John writing at Golf Digest, and on twitter @johnhuggan. Enjoy!

In today's episode we talk to architect, writer, and author Jim Hartsell about his new book, "The Secret Home of Golf: The Authorized History of King-Collins Golf and the Creation of Sweetens Cove". Available now for pre-order from back9press.com the book will ship in early September--perfect timing for you to get ahead of your Holiday shopping. Before discussing his book on Sweetens Cove, Jim discusses the influence Scottish golf has had on him, as well as classic golf writing. In fact, Jim has a series on Scottish golf currently going at our website, www.nolayingup.com, and has pieces in 'The Golfers Journal' and 'Links Diary'. He and Randy then get into his new book, how it came to be, and a little bit of what it's about. Jim's passion for writing, Scottish links, and that wonderful little 9-holer set into the Sequatchie Valley in Tennessee permeates this discussion. Enjoy!

150: Beth Ann Nichols Jul 28, 2021

Show notes

Today's episode is a conversation with Golfweek's Beth Ann Nichols (@GolfweekNichols on twitter) all about the women's golf and the LPGA tour. Since the last time Randy caught up with Beth Ann back in early May a lot has happened--Nelly Korda is a major champion and #1-ranked player in the world, Yuka Saso took home the US Women's Open at Olympic (thanks, in part, to Lexi's Sunday collapse), and so much more. Randy asks her about the Evian and its standing on the women's major championship circuit, the Solheim Cup, and the new Commissioner. Lots of ground covered in this one and thanks as always to Beth Ann for his knowledge and insight. Enjoy!
