The Top 100 in 10 Golf Podcast

We're doing something we've never done before — playing two golf courses back to back at the same club, and pitting the "old money vs new money" of Surrey heathland against each other.

Lanark Golf Club doesn't try to impress you. No grand entrance, no resort gloss — just a golf course that's been played on the same patch of common land since October 1851, making it the oldest inland golf course in the world.

We took a ferry. We crossed the Irish Sea. We played Castletown Golf Links on the Isle of Man, ranked 93 in the Top 100 GB & Ireland, with the club's general manager Andi as our playing partner and tour guide. It turned out to be one of the most spectacular days we've had on this entire mission. This episode is powered by Fourball Draws - where you can win a fourball on some elite co...

Swinley Forest Golf Club sits in the mid-20s of the UK rankings — and almost nobody outside of golf's inner circles has heard of it. No website worth mentioning. No honours boards. No annual membership fee. A halfway hut staffed by someone who's served maybe a hundred members in 25 years. And according to Harry Colt, his "least bad" course. This episode is powered by Fourball D...

A course designed by a man who'd never designed one before, where your tee time might be decided by a ball dropping down a chute, and where one approach shot lands in a completely different county. Welcome to Liphook Golf Club.

Old Tom Morris got on a boat at 70, arrived on a windswept rock in the Irish Sea, and built a golf course. 130 years later, we're following him over to the Isle of Man — and it's our first trip off the British mainland.  This episode is powered by Fourball Draws - where you can win a fourball on some elite courses for just a fiver - visit fourballs.co.uk and use code TOP100 to buy 2 or m...

Wallasey Golf Club was out of the Top 100. Now it's ranked 99th and accelerating — and after playing it on a stunning April Tuesday, we think it's heading a lot higher than that.

Sophie Walker is one of the best guests we've ever had on this show. She's the head analyst for Sky Sports Golf, a former LET tour pro with over 150 events and five Open Championships to her name — including the first women's ever played at the Old Course, St Andrews. She's also ace. And she lives a mile down the road from Nish, which helped. This episode is powered by Fourball...

Every golfer has played Stableford. Almost none of us know it was invented on the 2nd fairway at Wallasey Golf Club — by a man who got so fed up tearing up his scorecard, he changed golf forever.

In this episode, we break down the full Hillside experience — the welcome, the clubhouse, practice facilities, course condition, signature holes, back nine reputation, greens, value for money, and whether Hillside deserves its place alongs...

We've been banging our heads against a wall trying to get onto Irish golf courses for six months. Tee times selling out in minutes. Green fees north of €500. Chris assuring me his Irish roots would open doors. They did not.

Our 2026 season kicks off at Hillside Golf Club — the links course sandwiched between Royal Birkdale and Southport & Ainsdale that somehow never gets the credit it deserves. Greg Norman called its back nine the best in Britain. Jack Nicklaus played his first professional event in the British Isles here. It's hosted the British Masters and the DP World Tour. And yet — most golfers overlook...

We kicked off a brand-new series — Beyond the Top 100 — with a course that proves why lists don’t tell the full story. In brutal Welsh links weather (driving rain, sleet and 40+ mph winds), we played Conwy Golf Club , perched at the mouth of the River Conwy under the Great Orme — and somehow… we loved every minute. In this episode, Conwy’s General Manager Matthew Parsley explains what makes the cl...

Ireland is seen by many to be the spiritual home of bucket-list golf. So why is it becoming almost impossible to actually play? In this episode, we sit down with Sharon Smurfit — former Director of Golf at The K Club and one of the most connected voices in Irish golf — to unpack what’s really happening behind the scenes.

In Part 2 of my Zen Golf visit in Sheffield, Will (Head of Education at Zen Golf) gives me a putting lesson that completely changes how you read greens , control pace , and stop guessing the break. Instead of obsessing over mechanics, we learn how to “see gravity” first — by finding the straight putt (12 o’clock) using a simple clock-face method , then reverse-engineering the ball’s entry point fr...

In this episode of the Top 100 Golf Podcast , we get exclusive first access to the ZenGolf Swing Stage , a groundbreaking golf simulator platform that moves beneath you to replicate real on-course lies, slopes, and stances — fully integrated with TrackMan . We take this technology inside one of the world...

There are only two golfers in history who have won more major championships than Walter Hagen — Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. And yet, Hagen’s name is often missing from modern golf conversations. In this feature episode, we explore the life and legacy of the man who didn’t just win eleven major championships — he changed what it meant to be a professional golfer. From caddying his way into the g...

Playing the top 100 golf courses in the UK and Ireland sounds simple on paper — and impossibly complex in practice. In this episode, we unpack a father-and-son journey that began after COVID and quickly became a masterclass in access, etiquette, persistence, and people skills. From invite-only clubs and opaque booking systems to waitlists, spreadsheets, and lucky breaks, this conversation reveals...

If you’ve ever stood over a putt thinking “don’t miss” … or watched one bad shot turn into three bad holes, this episode is for you. In this bonus episode of The Top 100 in 10 Golf Podcast , we’re joined by Andrew “The Cog Coach” — a cognitive performance golf coach who works with tour pros, elite amateurs, and weekend golfers — to break down the mental game without the vague “just be confident” n...
