  • The Thing About Golf: #140 Sir Bob Charles
    May 15 2025

    Every major victory is historic in its own right, but for Sir Bob Charles his 1963 Open win was a first on multiple fronts.

    Charles was the first left-handed player to win one of golf’s big four, but was also the first player from New Zealand to do so and one of the last two players to take part in a 36-hole playoff for the title.

    Sir Bob sat down with Rod Morri to reminisce on a career in which he won more than 70 times as a professional, yet came about having only ever had two golf lessons in his entire life.

  • The Thing About Golf: #139 David Leadbetter
    May 5 2025

    Few people in any industry can claim to have altered the direction of that industry, but David Leadbetter is one.

    When a playing career eluded him in the 1980s, he turned his mind and energies to coaching and from humble beginnings, has built one of the most recognisable golf instruction "brands" in the world.

    But along the way, Leadbetter’s profile - and that of his successful clients - helped reshape the way golfers think about taking lessons, a change remaining in effect to this day. John Huggan sits down with Leadbetter to talk everything from his transformation of Nick Faldo’s swing, to the one player he never got to work with but wanted to.
