The arrival of @golfquarterly every - well, three months, obviously - is always a joy. Excellent articles, good people, just a love of the game on each page. But a bonus for me in this paper stocking - a recommendation to buy Common Grounds! Do what the nice man said, now…

Pitchmarks #130 - “Escape to Goswick” “The firm, fine turf; all bent and fescue. The hollow thump of a landing ball. The wild green sites, and the wispy banks that hide them. The bunkers, the gullies. The views - trains, beaches, a deserted fishing shiel” https://t.co/n9degOGuDg

Pitchmarks #127 - “B-sides” “the sort of places where people might first learn this blessed game of ours, might suddenly catch one in the middle of the bat and spin around enchanted, and for evermore think in terms of yards & carries, divots & birdies…” https://t.co/7YbAZzCg3P

Hear, hear. Superb! I know @thelinksdiary are focused primarily on high quality writing and imagery, and applaud that until my hands bleed! But the videos, the trips and now the podcast are things of equal beauty! Bravo!
Loved the 1st episode of the @thelinksdiary podcast. Is it just me that gets emotional listening to Jim speak about his time here 🏴? @KennyPallas a natural as a host. Took me back to Jim’s night at The Black Bull. Jim’s right, we @AberfoyleGC need more visitors wander our way.

Celebrating the games soul. No.13 does so in spades. Rambling above the sea on the Isle of Arran, playing Elie, stories from an old locker room, 54 holes in one day, a club champion over 6 different decades, Words and language that shape us and more. Find your comfy spot and take

Pitchmarks #124 - “The art of the stamp…” We spend our whole lives planning, plotting, worrying. Once in a while something reminds us to just get on with it, and sometimes - mostly, even - that freedom carries with it a helpful, secret sauce. On “the art of the stamp…”
