In this week's episode of The Slam, a podcast from National Club Golfer, Alex Perry is joined by Hannah Holden, George Cooper and Tom Irwin to discuss the latest round of LIV Golf, including winner Henrik Stenson's rather sour victory speech, as well as the man who will replace him as Ryder Cup captain, Luke Donald.

They are first port of call when we turn up for a round. Whether it’s checking you in for a competition, giving your game a much-needed MOT, or just sparing a couple of minutes for a chat, the traditional PGA professional is the heartbeat of our clubs. And yet in recent years, the role – like so many others – has come under pressure, as some clubs have looked to take services in-house, move to franchising, or re-evaluate the position altogether. But what is the value of a good club

2022/04/04

It's surely the cathedral of courses. That church of azaleas at Augusta National has the eyes of the world focused on it this week as The Masters once again gets our seasons under way. It was designed, of course, by Dr Alister MacKenzie, whose incredible body of work also includes those paradise must-play venues of Cypress Point, Pasatiempo and Royal Melbourne. But do you know his first course was much closer to home for us in the UK - in West Yorkshire no less. The original can be found in

Online bookings or roll ups? Paper or electronic scorecards? Wherever you turn in golf it seems the conversation soon moves on to technology. How far should clubs go to adopt it? Do you dip the toe, or dive headlong into a clubhouse of shot-by-scot scoring and digital leaderboards? However, you might feel about it, tech is changing the world around us, and golf will have to move with it. But can it sit with tradition and how can clubs manage the inevitable change?

There are only 11 snooker players who’ve won the career triple crown of World Championship, UK Championship, and Masters successes. We're prepared to bet, though, there’s only one who has combined that with a 147 break (of which he’s had six), a 9-darter, and a hole-in-one. Our guest this week is that person. Not only is Shaun Murphy one of the biggest stars of the green baize, he’s a talented golfer to boot – boasting a scratch handicap and a game good enough to get him into Open Championship

Welcome to the Carbonwood age. If you have just a passing interest in golf, you'll have heard this phrase once or twice since TaylorMade launched their range of Stealth drivers and fairway woods.

What does a golf club committee actually do? We know they’re usually volunteers and we know they make both the day-to-day and the big decisions on behalf of most of us at our clubs. But what really goes on underneath the bonnet? What do committees and boards do well and what happens when they go bad? If you’ve ever wanted to know anything about those elected to serve you – in the case of a private members’ club – or those helping an owner, or corporate body – in the case of a proprietary club – and

Just popping the three letters into a social media channel is enough to bring up a column of chat that it would take you hours to digest. More than a year after its launch, the World Handicap System continues to be debated and digested by golfers all over the UK. But sift through that collection and one theme emerges again and again. Integrity, or more precisely, the fear that WHS can be manipulated. So what’s really going on under the bonnet? Is there truth to the claims or is it all just another
