Made a pie during Presidents Cup. First time making one. It’s blueberry, kind of rogue.
Jackson Koivun is so money and awesome but really sucks he’s from that cow college

We have set up a fund in Jake’s memory to support Junior Golf at Shiskine & Dunaverty in Scotland. The two places that he was happiest. He loved the Isle of Arran and the Mull of Kintyre 🏴💙

A few thoughts:
• Porthcawl, Deal, Rye so good
• Sunningdale (New) properly rated but not my fav
• 60s = proper ass links (Nairn, Gullane, Harlech, Hun’ston)
• Heathland great but links reign supreme

This GB&I Top 100 surprised me. I knew there'd be 2 new entries from courses that opened in 2025, but there was more movement in the list than I expected. Key moves for @RCDgolfclub @Royal_Porthcawl @HankleyC @FormbyGolfClub @Rosapenna1893
Next 100 (image 2) is full of class too
Can you get a tee time at Pinehurst #2 without staying at the resort (à la Pebble Beach 24-hour call in advance)?
Will be in NC in mid-October. Trying to figure out what the move is for one round.

This 1904 public 9-hole layout is authentic, funky, and knows exactly what it’s doing - a course anyone on golf twitter should try to seek out.
