The Golf Pilgrim Top 100
This is the essential podcast for those planning to play the world's top golf courses.
We now have dozens of reviews from Top 100 courses in the UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Scandinavia, the USA and Australia…and the library is building every week. All the episodes are stand alone - you don't have to listen to them in any particular order.
In 2020 Neil White began a challenge to play all of the world's top courses. You can read his reviews at www.thegolfpilgrim.com. Now you can listen to his reviews, as he gives an honest account of the courses, the practice facilities, and the food available. Is it value for money? Will you be made to feel welcome as a visitor?
There are champagne and comedy moments to discuss, in the company of his fellow journalist and pal Ian Woods. Ian's a former Sky News and BBC Correspondent, who's now working for ITV. He's played a lot of great courses too, and is a former Captain of the Press Golfing Society.
The Golf Pilgrim Top 100
Royal Troon, Ayrshire, Scotland
An all-star edition in which we visit one of the world's best-known courses and talk to two famous figures who know it well.
Royal Troon is a regular host of The Open Championship, and in 2016, Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson played some spectacular golf as they vied to become Champion Golfer of the Year. Henrik won, shooting a record 20 under par, and he tells The Golf Pilgrim of his love for the course.
We also hear from BBC Commentator Andrew Cotter, who grew up as a member at Royal Troon. He explains why The Postage Stamp is one of the most iconic holes in golf.
