In the latest McKellar pod @lawrencedonegan.bsky.social and I discuss the Palisades fire, TGL and other golf news. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...
I've honestly fallen in love with this coverage of Celtic. Juco is a bit of a pessimist but I can personally affirm he's a big Tim so he's forgiven. Well worth the Substack subscription
Scottish football obviously doing something right...or at least something a lot better than it used to do. We're producing players who can succeed at a high level overseas.
Good man, Baz. 💪
Worked for 4 years at the Observer. Was a real honour, an ambition fulfilled. A publication well worth fighting for.
Looks to me like the Loop could get a bit messy....
The Links Trust made a ton of profit last year. It should put some of that money (and have it ring fenced) into an elite golf peformance set-up for Scotland along the lines of the Swedish model. You and me will be in charge.
Second tee to 18th green...18th tee to the 16th green, I think.
Looks brilliant. NLU did a film of the day. Was very glad to see all you media freeloaders got the worst weather possible. 😂
$23m for doing a terrible job is disgraceful. The Joe Ogilvie era cannot come quickly enough. Infinitely smarter and, you would have to think, a whole lot cheaper.
£750 ..sounds daft to say but amid the modern insanity of "elite golf course" greens fees that's actually reasonable (certainly less than I thought it would be for what you get). The Links Trust is a good organization, IMHO.
In a year he took six weeks off, oversaw the beginning of a ratings decline and lost a few blue chip sponsors. Makes sense.
A sporting £5 says Hearts don't re-sign Shankland (unless he takes a big pay cut). They're not that daft. Not any more.
Since No Laying Up doesn't seem to have bothered, let me post on this platform an interview they've just done with outgoing R&A CEO Martin Slumbers. It's excellent, as has been Slumbers' tenure at the governing body. What a transformation he wrought .. thank God.

This is phenomenal, although not if you're trying to write a book and need to concentrate on stuff that has nothing to do with Celtic.. 🤦😂
What a career!! What an obituary.👌♥️
Golf....crazy.
Scott didn't win until he was 23...
He's a kid. Been learning. 22yo...and he's just won a ET event...
Elvis Smyle winning alert. Tune in. Get in early on the next Adam Scott.
Nostradamus. 👌💚
Seconded.
Murray as a coach? "Come on son, be harder on yourself. Waste more energy on moaning about everything...."
Loved it. 😂😂
John Huggan interviews outgoing R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers. And it is absolutely brilliant. Huggy pulls no punches and Slumbers answers everything.
Slumbers has made a great contribution to golf. And so has Huggy.
A must read.
If he had gone to college in America he would have just graduated. And God knows what he would have been doing this week. It's a bold choice to forego a "plan B" but sometimes you have just got to back yourself. If you wanna be an elite pro, then go for it.
He's 22, I think. Tall and skinny.
A mean-spirited, snobby obit. Bloody Guardian. Though there is this amazing tidbit, which I didn't know.
"Prescott duly became the Labour candidate for the safe seat of Hull East. He was elected at the June 1970 general election with a 22,000 majority over the Tory candidate, Norman Lamont."
Connecting with the voters. No, really. He was. A normal person wouldn't stand for some wanker throwing an egg at his head from 2 yards away. Neither did Prescott. That's where the connection came from.
