What if your golf simulator didn’t just show the shot — but made you feel it under your feet?

In this episode of the Top 100 Golf Podcast, we get exclusive first access to the ZenGolf Swing Stage, a groundbreaking golf simulator platform that moves beneath you to replicate real on-course lies, slopes, and stances — fully integrated with TrackMan.

We take this technology inside one of the world’s greatest courses, Royal County Down, and test whether indoor golf can finally deliver true, meaningful practice — not just perfect lies and flat shots.

This is a live playing lesson, exploring:

• How slope and lie actually change decision-making
• Why most range practice doesn’t transfer to the course
• The psychology of playing better golf through realistic practice
• How this technology could reshape coaching, pace of play, and winter training
• Why this might be the future of golf simulators and indoor practice

If you’ve ever wondered whether simulator golf can truly replicate real golf — or how elite players and everyday golfers can practice smarter, not harder — this episode is a must-listen.

🎯 Featuring:

• ZenGolf Swing Stage (moving platform technology)
• TrackMan integration
• Royal County Down played indoors
• Insights into modern motor learning and representative practice

This is not a gimmick.
This is a glimpse into where golf practice is heading next.

There are only two golfers in history who have won more major championships than Walter Hagen — Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.

And yet, Hagen’s name is often missing from modern golf conversations.

In this feature episode, we explore the life and legacy of the man who didn’t just win eleven major championships — he changed what it meant to be a professional golfer.

From caddying his way into the game to dominating match play, captaining an unbeaten Ryder Cup side, and redefining how professionals dressed, travelled, and carried themselves, Hagen quietly dismantled golf’s rigid class system.

This isn’t just a biography. It’s a story about status, psychology, confidence, and why modern professional golf — from Arnold Palmer to Tiger Woods — looks the way it does today.

If you’ve ever wondered how golf’s professionals earned their place at the centre of the sport, this is the story you’ve been missing.

Playing the top 100 golf courses in the UK and Ireland sounds simple on paper — and impossibly complex in practice.

In this episode, we unpack a father-and-son journey that began after COVID and quickly became a masterclass in access, etiquette, persistence, and people skills. From invite-only clubs and opaque booking systems to waitlists, spreadsheets, and lucky breaks, this conversation reveals how elite golf really works behind the scenes.

We explore private and semi-private courses like Ardfin, Loch Lomond, Queenwood, JCB and Skibo Castle, and why money alone doesn’t open doors. Respect, timing, etiquette, and being a good guest often matter more. We also cover scams targeting hopeful golfers, how to verify access properly, and where trusted communities quietly keep opportunities moving.

There are moments of pure magic too: empty fairways at Royal St George’s, the Old Course singles line, and the strange generosity that turns strangers into playing partners. Along the way, we question course rankings, rising green fees, local versus visitor pricing, and what “fair but demanding” architecture really means for everyday golfers.

The big takeaway? The Top 100 isn’t just a list of courses — it’s a web of relationships. Build those well, and the journey gives you far more than a scorecard.

If you’re chasing iconic golf, or just curious how access really works at the top end of the game, this one’s for you.
