    Is golf still designed by men, for men?

    05/03/2026 | 52 mins.
    Women’s participation in golf is growing – but is it growing fast enough? Does the industry really understand the experience of women in golf? And is the biggest barrier access or culture?

    This week, we’re joined by Nicole Wheatley, founder of the Women in Golf Awards, to talk about participation, accountability, and whether golf is ready to honesty look at itself.

    The new Fairways Project, launched by the Awards in collaboration with 59Club, is a five-year global study designed to measure women’s experience across the industry. Nicole explains why it’s so important and why men also need to get involved.

    Are we bothered about getting better at golf?

    26/02/2026 | 59 mins.
    Are you one of those players determined to be the best they can be? Are you having regular lessons, staking out the range, and practising like there’s no tomorrow?

    Or are you just happy to play once a week, have a drink with your friends, and not worry about your handicap?

    This week, Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll ask if club golfers are motivated to improve – and what’s getting in the way of those who aren't.

    The pair also go through a busy mailbag, and there's a muddy rules query to match the weather.

    Golf club membership: Is it stronger than ever – or teetering on a cliff edge?

    12/02/2026 | 1h 5 mins.
    Have you ever considered leaving your golf club? How many of your clubs upped your fees last year and are they going to do it again? What keeps you loyal?

    We asked you about golf club membership in another big NCG survey filled in by more than 1,000 of you and Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll break down some fascinating results.

    We reveal what you are saying about golf club membership, and whether we’re still basking in post-pandemic participation joy or if dark clouds are on the horizon.

    Have we seen the death of golf etiquette?

    05/02/2026 | 57 mins.
    Music playing, phones buzzing, dress codes pushed to the limit – and that’s before we even start dredging up unrepaired pitch marks and unraked bunkers.

    Was good etiquette about fitting in, and is it now about tolerance and acceptance instead? Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll dig into the etiquette question – from pace of play to course care. They share some stories and ask whether standards are dying or just evolving.

    What 3,000+ golfers really think about WHS

    29/01/2026 | 1h 8 mins.
    We surveyed 3,390 golfers from across the UK and beyond to ask what they really thought about the World Handicap System

    Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll reveal the results – breaking down what the data really tells us, where the system is working, and where golfers believe it is falling apart.

    We’ll discuss issues around trust, fairness, general play scores, and whether you think WHS truly reflects ability.
