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
Stoke Park, Buckinghamshire, England
Stoke Park was the setting for one of the most famous moments in golf, albeit a fictional match.
Its proximity to Pinewood film studios meant it was the perfect spot to film James Bond's match against Auric Goldfinger in the 007 movie released in 1964.
Now in the hands of a real-life billionaire, Stoke Park has quite a story of its own. The club closed for several years and had its membership abolished before reopening as an exclusive pay-and-play venue.
