Some exciting news from us this week as we extend our ‘stable’ of podcast from 1 to 2! We’re thrilled to be bringing the Golf Badgers podcast into Cookie Jar!

For those that don’t know, Golf Badgers is a popular industry and greenkeeping podcast which has been going for over a year now. The show is hosted by James Bledge (Links Manager at Royal Liverpool) and Sam Cooper (Course Architect at McDonnell & Cooper) who bring an unrivalled passion for their industries on all matters around turf health, agronomy and how it allows the golf course architecture to really shine.

James & Sam are back with a bang with their latest show which can be found here, and they will be releasing fortnightly episodes comprising of a mix of interviews with course managers and industry leaders, topical episodes, as well as interactive Q&A segments focussing on the seasonal challenges for people in the greenkeeping industry. We think it’s a great fit for not only people who work in the industry, but fellow badgers with an interest in agronomy and the daily trials and tribulations of the greenkeeping world.

Sam & Tom sit down with Anthony Wolfe, the club archivist of Royal Wimbledon Golf Club, to talk about its history in the game which dates back to 1865. It has had three separate golf courses and its now full time home on the other side of camp cottage from Wimbledon Common, is the product of Harry Colt which has recently undergone huge work by Mackenzie & Ebert in recent years.

Some of the game's greatest names have travelled through Royal Wimbledon, and we sit down with Anthony to talk about it all.

Sam sits down with Scott Redman and John Morgan at The Bristol Golf Club who have in recent years acquired the Joe Powell Persimmon company.

Scott is an equipment nerd and creative wizz who has spent decades around the game and John Morgan is a broadcaster for SkySports and played professionally on The PGA Tour. When the opportunity came up to acquire Joe Powell, they just couldn't say no, and their story, much like the company itself is a fascinating one.

Huge thanks to The Bristol for having us last week, and looking after us so well!
