usually when I'm on podcasts, I'm talking politics and religion. Saudi investment in sport had me on a few podcasts talking about the PIF.

This is my first ever podcast just talking about golf and how Scotland got me hooked on the game and why Oz deepened my love. @mikeclaytongolf.bsky.social

Fred Ridley’s comments re the golf ball and distance are to be welcomed. But don’t expect many golf magazine writers to come out in support of that obvious assertion. The threat of lost advertising from equipment companies will keep this debate one-sided 🤷‍♂️
