In this episode we are joined by Richard Fisher (3-peat on the pod) looking back at 1926 as a pivotal year in golf, tracing the season from winter through autumn. We focus on the amateur game, the professional events, and the way golf fit into the wider sporting and political landscape of the year.We begin with the early amateur season, including the shared President's Putter at Rye and the Varsity match at Burnham & Berrow, where Cambridge win. We also discuss how much golf's leading amateurs play, the importance of caddies, and the many club and society matches that shape the year.We then move to the spring championships, including the arrival of Glenna Collett and other American women ahead of the Ladies' Championship, which is delayed by the General Strike.The episode also covers the amateur and professional championships in detail. We discuss Bobby Jones's remarkable Open qualifying round at Sunningdale, his victory at Royal Lytham & St Anne's, the Amateur Championship at Muirfield, George Von Elm's win in the US Amateur, and major professional events involving Walter Hagen, Abe Mitchell, and Sandy Herd... and of course the proto-Ryder Cup. We finish with the late-season fixtures, including the English Amateur, the US PGA and US Ladies' Championship, and the mixed foursomes at Worplesdon. We also reflect on the broader context of 1926: the rise of international golf, the role of the media, and how different the sport's structure and calendar were from today.

Bledge and Sam begin by discussing the current state of the golf course. After some mixed weather, it's in good condition. The rough is more defined, the playing surfaces are firm and fast and preparations for the season's key events are well underway.Next, they focus on the Amateur Championship coming to Royal Liverpool. They explain the qualifying and match play format, practice and championship dates and mention that the event will be open to spectators and televised.  They also discuss how amateur golf differs from other major events due to the pressure, format and need to play several strong rounds in a row.The conversation then shifts to gWest, the unfinished golf course project. They explain that it was started during the recession as part of a larger estate plan combining golf and residential plots. However, the housing market collapse impacted the wider business model.  They describe the course's location on exceptional land near Gleneagles and its intended scale, similar to other high-end golf developments.They delve into the construction process and the work involved on site.  They detail the heavy machinery, drainage, soil stripping, reshaping, tree planting, turf preparation and repeated problem-solving required to build the course.  They also mention the heather translocation work, where mature heather was harvested and moved onto bunker faces and rough areas.Finally, they reflect on how gWest represents a different era of golf course development and business planning. They compare it to modern projects, noting changes in golf economics and land use.  They conclude by emphasising the significant effort put in by those involved despite the course never opening.

Sam chats with Stuart Grehan fresh of his Amateur Championship win at Royal Liverpool and West Lancs last week. The 131st Amateur was also the 19th time this event has been hosted at Royal Liverpool - more than any other venue. We talk about his wins in the knockout, the adjustments from 18 to 36 hole matches, as well some of the trickier matches that lay between him and his final against Matt Maloney which went all the way to the 36th hole. We also talk about his career, from pitch and putt as a kid, to turning professional, regaining his Amateur status and now looking forward to The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, a Masters invitation and a spot in the US Open next year at Pebble Beach. In the aftermath of his win, we also talk about some of the criticism Stuart has come in for from the likes of Dan Rapaport, going from Professional to Amateur, as well as his experiences at Cypress Point last year in the Walker Cup, and looking ahead to Lahinch in September. Stuart says that the movement back to amateur golf was all about the lifestyle.... well what a lifestyle it is!

We discuss the Amateur Championship at Hoylake and reflect on the conditions across the week. The course was as dry, firm, windy at times, and very consistent, with good weather throughout and strong television conditions.We explain how the greens were prepared and measured using GS3 ball data, with regular recording of moisture, firmness, speed, trueness and smoothness. We also talk about using wind tunnels to get accurate readings when the wind affected the roll, and how irrigation adjustments of only a few millimetres could change the stimp reading by about a foot.We then cover the work of keeping every green on a level playing field despite differences in age and construction. Some greens needed extra attention, including drill-and-fill work, and we note that modern tools now allow more precise management through data, nutrition, water and cutting plans rather than relying mainly on feel.We move on to the championship itself and the role of West Lancashire in qualifying, and that the setup at both venues was strong, and that the event attracted a serious standard of play.Stuart Grehan's win is the main focus, however. We describe his driving, his ability to control the ball in windy links conditions, and several key moments in the final, including a difficult bunker shot on the sixth, recovery shots on later holes, and his steady scoring through the knockout rounds.We also mention other players who stood out, including Malin Pogaita, Niall Shields Donegan and Elliot Baker, and we note the strong support from County Louth members for Grehan. We close by saying we are impressed by his performance and by the work of the team that prepared the course. Send us a message if you would like anything discussed on the podcast.

In this episode we reflect on the US Open at Shinnecock Hills and the course setup, including the firm greens, the undulations, and how the test shifted the emphasis toward short game and putting. We discuss the USGA's explanation of why the greens were managed the way they were, and how the event played gradually from Thursday through Sunday.We also talk about Wyndham Clark's win, his reception from the crowd, and how he held onto the lead despite not playing his best golf at the weekend. We compare his performance with Scottie Scheffler's, and we discuss the idea of players chasing a major-title milestone under intense pressure from a strong field.A substantial part of the conversation is about fan behaviour and whether golf should accept more crowd noise and needle at big events. We discuss the contrast with other sports, the difference between a normal tournament and a Ryder Cup atmosphere, and whether Clark's situation was more about his lead and persona than about golf becoming less traditional.We then move on to players and others who stood out at Shinnecock, including Keith Mitchell, Tom Kim, and the course superintendent Joe Jennings. We also mention some of the week's disappointments and controversies, including bunker conditions, Joaquin Niemann's penalty, and Harry Higgs arriving without trousers before his round.Finally, we cover regional qualifying and the Amateur Championship. We talk about the scale of qualifying venues around the country, Peter's attempt at Ferndown, and several players who advanced. We also review the Amateur at Hoylake, where Stuart Grehan won after a 36-hole final, and we note the strong coverage of the event online.

Yvonne Cox arrived at Campbell in the fall of 1996 fresh off a West Virginia State amateur title and joined a golf program that would become one of the nation's best over the next four years. A relative late-starter in the game, Vonnie's all-around athleticism and competitive drive propelled her to a pair of top-10 finishes in the ASUN Championship and two NCAA regional appearances. After graduating in 2000, Vonnie qualified for the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship then embarked on a professional career. Over five seasons, she made 64 starts on the LPGA Developmental circuit – now known as the Epson Tour – and qualified for the 2004 U.S. Open. She entered the business field and took an extended break from the game but regained her passion for the sport. She has already won a pair of tournaments while producing a top-10 finish at the 2023 LPGA Senior Championship. Through the years, she has stayed in contact with her fellow Campbell Golf alumni and has returned to participate in the annual Battle for the Creek tournament in early November. Now based in Williamsburg, Virginia, Vonnie is a teaching pro in addition to competing on the Legends of the LPGA Tour. In the next episode of Tales from the Creek, Yvonne Cox-Holmes chats with Stan Cole about her family's influence on her sporting career, her path to Campbell, where she was offered scholarships in both golf and softball, her professional career and more. Suggestions for future Tales from the Creek interview subjects are always welcome and may be sent to Stan Cole at cole@campbell.edu.

Welcome back to PaddyTalks Golf, powered by ForeGolf Custom.This week I sat down with someone whose work you've almost certainly seen, even if you didn't know his name at the time. Oisín Keniry is one of Ireland's finest sports photographers. Coming through the ranks, Oisín has since built a serious freelance career shooting golf at the very highest level. His images carry R&A and image credits, appear in national newspapers and international publications, and if you've ever stopped on a photograph from The Open, the Irish Open or an Amateur Championship and thought that's a serious shot, there's a very good chance Oisín was behind the camera.But beyond the credentials, this is a conversation about craft, about passion and about what it really takes to build a career doing what you love.In this episode we get into:

In this episode I was pleased to be joined by a truly talented young player in 2023 European Ladies' Amateur Champion, 3x Palmer Cup Participant & Former World Number 1 Amateur Julia Lopez Ramirez as we discuss her upbringing, brilliant amateur career and what her rookie season on LPGA Tour has looked like in her own view so far. Julia is from Benahavis in Malaga and developed her impressive driving ability from getting in her own words 'teased by her coach' that he could hit it further.  Julia would go to Mississippi State University as part of the Mississippi Bulldogs and would win 8 individual titles which included the prestigious 2023 European Ladies' Amateur Championship defeating then World Number 1 player Ingrid Lindblad in a thrilling final as well as participating in 3x Palmer Cups for Team International, 2023 Vagliano Trophy participant, 2023 Espirito Santo Trophy participant for Spain & 3x European Ladies' Amateur Team Championships for Spain which included winning for Spain in 2023 alongside ANWA champion Carla Bernat Escuder, Carolina Lopez-Chacarra, Cayetana Fernandez, Tejedo Mulet & Lopez Ortega.

She would tee it up in her first full event as a LPGA pro in Bradenton, Florida for Founders Cup before struggling with a shoulder injury that would hinder her start to the year before finding form early summer finishing T29th at Liberty National for Mizuho Americas Open followed by T45 at Mexico Riviera Maya. At Erin Hills for US Womens Open in June would see Julia be joint first round leader and 2nd going into the final day being in the final group at a major, although it didn't go to plan on the Sunday Julia sees the positives from that week and would make the weekend at 2 of the next majors T36th at KPMG PGA Championship & T28th at Evian Championship. At the Scottish Women's Open in July it would see Julia post her best LPGA Tour finish at Dundonald Links finishing T3rd before struggling at the tough Royal Porthcawl for AIG Women's Open. It was a great pleasure to have Julia on the podcast. Such a talented player to watch. I wish her nothing but the best for the future and her battle to make CME Tour Finals.

Georgia Hall won the AIG Women's Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes in 2018, just five years after triumphing in the R&A Women's Amateur Championship. Georgia's victory wasn't just special because it was her first major, but also because her dad Wayne caddied for her that week. A superb final round of five-under-par featured numerous highlights, and Georgia was the first British winner of the event since Catriona Matthew clinched the title at the same venue in 2009. Georgia, who began playing golf aged seven after her dad took her to a driving range near their Bournemouth home, doubled her LPGA win tally when she triumphed in the Cambio Portland Classic in 2020. The three-time European Solheim Cup player is a two-time Ladies European Tour order of merit winner, in 2017 and 2018. Georgia lost to Celine Boutier on the first extra hole of a play-off in the LPGA Drive On Championship in March 2023.
