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
Musselburgh Old Links and Royal Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland
Unusually, we've combined two golf clubs into one episode - but they do have something in common.
Musselburgh Old Links was one of the original venues for The Open Championship, but the limitations of its nine-hole layout led to its replacement by Muirfield, and golfers migrated to other courses with more land.
One of those clubs was Royal Musselburgh, a parkland course and very different to Musselburgh Old Links, which sits within Musselburgh racecourse. But their shared history made for an entertaining 27-hole day.
