Tom Doak’s reversible golf course is featured on Adventures in Golf with Erik Anders Lang

October 23, 2019

The idea of a reversible golf course, one that could be played in one direction or the other, is not new. In fact The Old Course at St Andrews was at one point regularly played in reverse.

October 10, 2019

Carrying my golf bag was once a chore I despised, but now, I’ve mastered the art and uncovered some valuable techniques.

I used to feel a little intimidated by golfers carrying their golf bags.

The joy of playing golf with a bunch of strangers

September 26, 2019
