A brilliant Badgers pod this week with @johnmac150, Course Manager at @wallaseygolf whoโ€™s helped shape one of the finest-conditioned links courses in the world. A must-listen for greenkeepers and course managers โ€” though thatโ€™s true of all our Badgers pods, to be fair. ๐ŸŽง

The latest Links From the Road podcast takes a deep dive into the architecture of Silloth on Solway. A really good listen if youโ€™re into course design, strategy, and what makes links golf so special. #GolfArchitecture #LinksGolf #SillothOnSolway #GolfPodcast @sd_cooper

I'm delighted to share my latest commissioned artwork for the legendary Golf de Chantilly. A club synonymous with classic architecture and rich competitive history, rooted in its renowned Tom Simpson-conceived courses.

Throwback to (near enough) this time 2 years ago. When @RLGCHoylake was gearing up for the 151st Open Championship. Just before it started raining for 18 monthsโ€ฆ ๐Ÿซ

What a thrill to see Volume 1 of the Links from the Road series come through the letterbox. Wonderful Sam Cooper travel essays, magically illustrated by Will Eager, whose style is like a sublime blend of Quentin Blake (Ronald Dahl books) and Harry Rountree. Pure gold ๐Ÿ”ฅ
