New episode released with Richard Pennell @pitchmarks exploring the deep recesses of rustic common land golf which feature in his new book Common Grounds. Always great to catch up with RP even if it took us a few attempts across an afternoon.

I was fortunate to visit to The Addington GC twice over the past 18 months.

There’s something really special going on as it’s faithfully restored to its former glory.

I finally managed to get my thoughts down on paper from the two visits⛳️

It was great having him over! The other fella is Everett Grimes III, a golfing lunatic from Idaho. A baller that tried to compete with TW back in the day - some stories…best kept for when we play together againπŸ˜‰

Just in case you missed it, I recently caught up with Richard Pennell to chat about all of his Irish coastal golf wanderings during the past 12 months. I could listen to him reciting his shopping receipts😊. Link below⛳️

Santa came earlier in the year with a few presents courtesy of #soundergolf, some hickories via the proshop @ #ryegc and #timewarpgolf and a special #macgregor delivery from #pitchmarks towards the back end of the season. Choice now abounds, short sets are de rigueur⛳️
