Episode Details

Carnoustie doesn’t host championships so much as it interrogates you. We tee up our most anticipated round yet with a blend of lore, strategy, and honesty about what it takes to survive the toughest mile in golf. From Hogan’s Alley to the Barry Burn, we map the decisions that separate a tidy bogey from a card-wrecker, and we share the member insights that reveal where the real trouble hides.

*****

 our gracious hosts Paul & Barry are attempting to play all of the golf courses in Scotland for charity - if any cause is dear to your heart as both of these causes were close to Nish's heart - you can donate here - 

Paul raising funds for Parkinson's

Barry raising funds for Kidney Research
