    Episode 148: TGH 148: The History of Musselburgh Links
    Feb 2 2026

    This may go down as one of my favorite podcasts in our eight years of production - my love of all things Musselburgh goes back to my first trip to it's links nearly 20 years ago. This nine hole links has lived through the best of times and certainly the bad. We are joined by my friend, historian and author Mungo Park as he shares the delightful history of this most honest town.

    There may not be a more important course in the world (that you havent heard of) than Leith Links - there is an argument that you can't play the game of golf without a major component of it's history. The History of Leith Links is endlessly fascinating - there are golf matches, duels, murders, kings and commoners and today on the show Mike Tucker of the Leith Rules Society joins us to shed a light on one of history's forgotten courses and the home to the rules of golf.

    Don't let the title of this podcast fool you - don't let it lull you to sleep thinking this is going to be a boring podcast about a museum. It's only a museum in the way that PT Barnum described his museum - this is a spectacle to behold and for the next hour plus, let it entertain you. What I promise you is this - like me it will surpise you and i guarantee it will make you smile.

    Episode 143: TGH 143: The History of Tom Bendelow
    Sep 22 2025
    A podcast four years in the making has finally arrived - the TalkinGolf History has shared the stories of Donald Ross, AW Tillinghast, Dr. Alister MacKenzie, Seth Raynor, Walter Travis, James Braid, Perry Maxwell and finally after years of trying to make it happen we have the story most of you don't know. Tom Bendelow's story is a story about the early days of American golf and yet a story that has somehow escaped the history books. I am so proud to present the History of Tom Bendelow with his own Grandson, Stuart Bendelow as our guest.

    Episode 142: TGH 142: MacKenzie and Cypress Point
    Aug 31 2025
    As we countdown until the days of the playing of the 2025 Walker Cup at the Cypress Point Club, I thought it would be great to look back at the History of Dr. Alister MacKenzie and Cypress Point with our special guest Sean Tully. Its a great show where we ask the question - what would Dr. Mackenzie's career looked like, had Seth Raynor not passed away suddenly in 1926. We discuss the semi-recently found routing plans that may predate both Mackenzie and Raynor. Enjoy the show and the 2025 Walker Cup!
