Stephen Proctor's latest book, Matchless" is due out October of 2025 and in it he makes an argument for the match piting USA's Glenna Collett vs the UK's Joyce Wethred going down as the Match of the Century. These two Titans of the Green propelled the women's game into the international spotlight and laid the groundwork for what would become the LPGA Tour. Matchless marks Stephen's third golf history book and quite frankly its a trilogy that every golf history lover needs to have on their shelves. We hope you enjoy this preview of MATCHLESS!

Stephen Proctor has been at the forefront of bringing the history of golf back into modern-day golf discussion. The former newspaper editor at the San Francisco Chronicle and Baltimore Sun has turned his passion for storytelling into two excellent golf books that would be great gifts for a golf lover in your life. “Monarch of the Green” details Young Tom Morris' life as the golf's first superstar.Most recently, the Long Golden Afternoon dives into how the game grew beyond the borders of Scotland in the late 19th century. For the sake of this podcast, The Long Golden Afternoon highlights how the amateur game exploded due to the skill of players like Englishman John Ball who won rocked the professionals when he conquered the the 1890 Open Championship as an amateur and began a rivalry between Scotland and England.During the podcast, Proctor picks the three amateur moments he would have wanted to be present for while he also tells interesting stories about his time on the Old Tom Morris Trail this summer and offers his immense knowledge of the amateur game from the late 19th century.Amateur Golf Links:AmateurGolf.comSubscribeInstagramTwitterFacebookYouTubeStephen Proctor Links:Books - Birlinn PublishingTwitter
Today's show is a conversation with writer Stephen Proctor (@SProctorGolf on twitter) about his new book, "The Long Golden Afternoon: Golf's Age of Glory, 1864-1914." This book is an expertly-researched, easy-to-read look into a half-century of the game which sets the stage for the modern age while at the same time dealing with a lot of issues still at the heart of golf today (eg. technology). Stephen shines light on forgotten champions such as John Ball, John Henry Taylor, and many more. It's a great gift for any golf history nuts and avid readers in your life. Enjoy!

Hey Guys, welcome back to the Hole In One Golf Podcast, I'm your host Jack Bull. Thanks very much for listening. In this episode, I'm joined, for a second time, by the Golf Author & Historian Stephen Proctor. Stephen has been described by the famous St. Andrew's Golf Historian Roger Mc Stravick as “The Bernard Darwin of our Times”. Stephen's first book- “Monarch of the Green: Young Tom Morris Pioneer of the Modern Game” is published by Birlinn in Edinburgh, Scotland and he tells me in this episode about the wonderful reception his new Book “The Long Golden Afternoon, Golf's Age Of Glory 1864- 1914” received when he travelled over to the home of Golf, St. Andrews in June for the launch at Waterstone's:- https://www.waterstones.com/events/an-evening-with-stephen-proctor/st-andrews-95042 Make sure you follow Stephen on Twitter and buy the book online at Amazon or Barnes and Noble! https://www.amazon.com/Monarch-Green-Morris-Pioneer-Modern/dp/1909715751 https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-long-golden-afternoon-stephen-proctor/1140884888 Following the launch of his book, Stephen embarked on a wonderful Golfing Odyssey across Scotland, playing “The Old Tom Morris Trail” which covers 18 courses across Scotland, that Old Tom Morris either designed or helped create, check out the trail here, with the tour through Bonnie Wee Golf:- https://oldtommorristrail.com/ The trail begins at Askernish Golf Club, on the Isle of South Uist , made by Old Tom Morris in 1891. Next, travelling by ferry and road, the tour goes along the East Coast, through St. Andrews and down along the coast, then heading West back to Prestwick and finishing at the wonderful Machrihanish Golf Club which has what has been described as “The Best Opening Golf Hole In the World” across the Atlantic Ocean. Stephen really brings the The Tom Morris Trail to life and leaves us all wishing we were there playing the trail, with every course and part of the journey spectacular, as you find yourself literally re-tracing Old Tom Morris' foot steps, as well as experiencing some great Scottish History and of course there is plenty of great whisky to be found on the trail! Thanks so much for your time Stephen, it's always a pleasure to have you on the show!

Sam & Bruce re-live some of the fun from Devon a few weeks ago where they played in the Silver medal (the oldest medal in English Golf) and The Kashmir Cup. 2 parts of a legendary week of golf played at Westward Ho! annually. This is a 2-part podcast with Sam & Bruce talking about the course specifically and trying to figure out why the links split opinion so heavily, as well as our interview with club historian Robert Fowler who wrote the history book for Royal North Devon as part of their 150th anniversary year. Robbie is great fun, and someone who has been around RND for pretty much all of his life. Amazing to think he actually shook hand with JH Taylor back in the late 1950's!Royal North Devon is the oldest golf club in England that still occupies the same land it was built on and known affectionately as 'the cradle of English golf'. Many greats have been members here over its 158 year history including the Horace Hutchinson (the earliest golf writer in Britain) and John Henry Taylor. For more on these figures head over to our fairly recent podcast with Stephen Proctor who talks about the characters during the great boom period in English golf as part of his book - The Long Golden Afternoon. Many thanks to the club for hosting a wonderful week of golf! Special shout out to Mike Harris & Dan Davies, as well as Blair, Hugo & Dale for the company along the way!
Golf Historian and author, Stephen Proctor joins us again to recount his sabbatical to play the Old Tom Morris Trail in Scotland. Proctor played 18 courses that Old Tom Morris designed or renovated and he joins the podcast to share his insights into the design mind of Old Tom Morris and the trip of a lifetime.
Historian, writer and Herbert Warren-Wind shortlisted author Stephen Proctor joins the podcast this week to talk about the release of his second book - The Long Golden Afternoon. Charting the events around golfs ultimate boom period following the death of Young Tommy Morris right through to the advent of WWI, the book is a fascinating read to really understand one of the most significant (and often much less talked about) periods in history. Starting with John Ball jr of Hoylake becoming the first Englishman and Amateur to win The Open in 1890, right through to the Great Triumverate and the success of many others, it's a cracking book. I firm recommendation from The Jar to add this to your golf library - the link can be found below.

‘With his beautiful use of language, Proctor has Bernard Darwin's gift of bringing a moment to life. Delightful and insightful, capturing the very spirit of the age. The Long Golden Afternoon is an instant classic' - Roger McStravick - Author & Historian Stephen Proctor joins us today to chat about his second book, a followup to Monarch of the Green and the golfing feats of Young Tommy Morris. The Long Golden Afternoon tells the story of the transformative generation of golf that followed the rise of Young Tom Morris - an era of sweeping change that saw Scotland's national pastime become one of the rare games played around the world. It begins with the first epochal performance after Tommy - John Ball's victory at Prestwick in 1890 as the first Englishman and the first amateur to win the Open Championship - and continues through to the outbreak of the Great War. If Tommy ignited the flame of golf in England, Ball's breakthrough turned that smoldering fire into a conflagration. The generation that followed would witness the game's coming of age. It would see an explosion in golf's popularity, the invention of revolutionary new balls and clubs, the emergence of professional tours, the organization of the game and its rules, a renaissance in writing and thinking about golf, and the decision that the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews must always remain the sport's guiding light.

In this episode, I'm joined by the renowned American Author & Golf Historian Stephen Proctor. Stephen has been described by the famous St. Andrews Golf Historian Roger Mc Stravick, as “The Bernard Darwin of our Times” which is quite the compliment.

A fabulous interview with the man St Andrews' Golf Historian, Roger McStravick once called, "the Bernard Darwin of our times," My friend, golf historian and author, Stephen Proctor joins the show to talk about his new book, "The Long and Golden Afternoon," how the book connects his previous book, "Monarch of the Green" and in the process he shares his own golf history and a preview of his upcoming sabbatical walking in the footsteps of Old Tom Morris.
Before there were the great contemporary champions like Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, or even Bobby Jones, There was Young Tommy Morris. Arguably the greatest Professional Golfer of his era, Young Tommy was flamboyant, colorful, flashy, a born showman, and unbeatable as a professional. He won four Open Championships in a row by the…
Today we tell the story of one of the great lost elements of match-play golf: the stymie. A stymie occurred when one player's ball on the green ended up between the hole and the opponent's ball. Unless the balls were within six inches of one another, the ball closer to the hole could not be lifted. The player who was away simply had to figure out what to do next. When the governing bodies eliminated the stymie in 1952, more than a curious little quirk of match play was lost, according to our guest Stephen Proctor. In a conversation with Garrett Morrison, Stephen argues that the stymie embodied a larger attitude toward the game—an attitude that fell out of favor in the mid-20th century, but one that is worth remembering, and perhaps reviving, today. Stephen's book The Long Golden Afternoon is available for pre-order now.
Author Stephen Proctor joins episode 104 to talk his upcoming book 'The Long Golden Afternoon' about one of the most pivotal periods in the games history, 1864-1914. If Stephen's last book - Monarch Of The Green - is anything to go by this will be a brilliant, insightful and entertaining read.

S2E10Jean calls this episode a prologue to Season 3, and it is, but it does manage to tie up Season 2 sufficiently enough for us. We say goodbye to Goody, the coven, Susanna, Father Hubbard, Pierre, Françoise, Jack (!), and Gallowglass in 1591. AND there is the "Hello/Goodbye" to Diana's Dad, Stephen Proctor!Meanwhile, we are getting a glimpse of what the couple will be greeted with when they return to their modern lives - Ysabeau, Marcus, Miriam, Sarah, Emily, Nathaniel, Sophie, Agatha, and Phoebe examine the problems they are facing, and ponder possible solutions going forward. Gerbert and Domenico are fighting for their own power in destructive ways. Peter (we have a few choice words to say about him) is planning a solo raid on Sept-Tours. Satu -- well, she offered her help. It's not her fault that Peter is too stubborn to accept it! Come to the good side, Satu! And then there is Herr Fuchs ... aka Benjamin (!!!)This episode runs long because we had a lot to discuss in the Spoiler Zone.

On this episode of the TalkinGolf History Podcast we dive into the profound history of Herbert Warren Wind. Few sports writers in history hold a candle to the great Herbert Warren WInd, and we golfers should cherish the fact that he was on our side. If you think you know a lot about the man that the USGA named its highest honor in literature after, think again - his contributions to the game will echo in golf's history. Our guests for today's show are Bradley Klein and Stephen Proctor.
After a lengthy delay due to technical diffilculties, the TalkinGolf History Podcast returns with the history of one of golf's great defenders, the history of the man who understood the game like few have before him or since...author, historian and perhaps golfer psychotica, Bernard Darwin. Stephen Proctor author of the celebrated book on Young Tom Morris, "Monarch of the Green" joins us to share Darwin's history and some of his delightful words. I know you will enjoy this episode. Special Guest: Stephen Proctor.

They discuss the importance of rowdy, big-money matches to early golf culture in Scotland, the eventual ascendancy of stroke play as the dominant competitive format, and the ways that today's televised matches might recapture some of the magic of the past. Stephen is the author of Monarch of the Green, a biography of Young Tom Morris.
It's a Reading Room episode of the TrapDraw as Randy is joined by author Stephen Proctor to discuss his book, "Monarch of the Green: Young Tom Morris, Pioneer of Modern Golf." No doubt the name Young Tom Morris is familiar to you, but how much do you know about his life? Do you know why he's such an important figure in the game of golf? How he has influenced the modern game? How about the massive tragedy surrounding him? Stephen Proctor is a golf historian and spent several years researching and writing about Young Tom. He's a great storyteller and shares what he knows about one of the games foremost figures. Enjoy!
Groundbreaking stuff on the Good Good Golf Podcast this week as we welcome a new guest host but reintroduce an old segment.

Stephen Proctor is a historian and author of "Monarch of the Green: Young Tom Morris Pioneer of Modern Golf." He is also very well spoken and true steward of the game. On this episode of The Wednesday Match Play Podcast, you will learn more about his book, the research that went into making this publication possible, more about his time spent in the Home of Golf, and several stories about the research that went into this project. Is Stephen ever going to write another book? You'll find out! I first connected with Stephan on Twitter, and was glad to have him on the show to share his story.
Long before there was Tiger Woods there was Young Tom Morris. Four times a winner of The Open and the first golfer who could truly be referred to as a touring professional, his fascinating but tragic life story is far from well known enough among golfers worldwide. But that is set to change with the release of a remarkable book - Monarch Of The Green - by former newspaper journalist and editor Stephen Proctor. Proctor joins the TG History podcast to talk about his inspiration for writing the book and the process of putting it together.

The story of an Anglican priest serving in an evangelical church. What if the way we worship isn't just an expression of our faith but is part of what shapes our faith? On the 5th episode of ALT, Stephen Proctor interviews Glenn Packiam, a fellow liturgical explorer who happens to be an Anglican priest in an evangelical church. When he's not navigating those waters, he's busy authoring books, writing worship songs, recording albums, pursuing his PhD in England, & being one of the most loving husbands & fathers I've ever seen. Glenn is a beast! & I'm so thankful that he carved out a little time to share his thoughts on this episode of ALT. _____________________________ SHOW NOTES available @ http://illuminate.us/alt-ep5-glenn-packiam

Visual Worship. Environmental Projection. & Endless Possibilities. On the 4th episode of ALT, Stephen Proctor interviews visual worshiper Camron Ware, a projection artist & a pioneer of environmental projection in the Church. Camron is an incredible technologist whose passion & conviction for authentic worship can be clearly seen in his work. His curiosity & creativity has led him to innovate in ways that have made a significant change in the landscape of visual worship in the Western Church. But his story is not void of tension – tension that compels him to caution anyone who runs too eagerly to the newest & latest trends. __________________________________________________ For SHOW NOTES, visit: http://illuminate.us/alt-ep4-camron-ware/
Contemplative. Liturgical. Sacramental. These are some of the defining marks of an ancient+future faith than many evangelical Christians are longing for in their worship. On the 3rd episode of ALT, Stephen Proctor interviews Chad Jarnagin, curator of the LUMINOUS Project, a contemplative experience designed to introduce curious explorers to the ancient practices of the Church. Chad describes his journey from being a touring musician to going on staff at a large evangelical church as a worship pastor. Yet his longing for a more contemplative, sacramental life has sent him down a path that few have chosen – to become a priest & join the Holy Orders of the Anglican Church. Listen as Chad describes his luminous experiences & what it's compelling him to plant. (And something I plan to be a part of myself!) It's quite exciting! ––––––– SHOW NOTES ––––––– To see a list of recommended podcasts & books, as well as an image of "The Compass Rose", go to: http://illuminate.us/alt-ep3-chad-jarnagin/
One of the most successful film composers of my generation shares raw & honest thoughts on the landscape of creativity in today's church. A generation of young composers is rising up & filling our world with beautiful instrumental music, yet it's being mostly written & recorded using samples on computers instead of with orchestras in concert halls. On the 2nd episode of ALT, Stephen Proctor interviews sonic architect Tony Anderson. Tony is a phenomenal artist and neoclassical composer who takes an innovative approach to scoring films and music beds. This is an honest conversation where Tony shares his heart, weaknesses, frustrations & passion for the instrumental music scene, as well as his perspectives on the areas of art, liturgy and technology. ____________________________ SHOW NOTES: http://illuminate.us/alt-ep2-tony-anderson/
