We're doing something we've never done before — playing two golf courses back to back at the same club, and pitting the "old money vs new money" of Surrey heathland against each other.

This episode we're previewing both the Old Course (ranked 39, an ever-present in the world's top 100 since rankings began in 1938) and the New Course (ranked 88) at Walton Heath — a Ryder Cup venue where GB&I once got hammered 18½–9½ back in 1981.

We dig into the club's remarkable design history: amateur architect Herbert Fowler's very first course (he went on to design Pebble Beach), and James Braid's 46 years as club professional — during which he redesigned 400 courses worldwide and never touched a single hole of Fowler's original layout, out of pure respect.

Expect brutal bunkers, the most heather of any course in the UK (allegedly), a royal club captain who briefly became a king, four British Prime Ministers on the members list, and a genuine handicap-shredding difficulty rating. Plus: side bets, signature holes, and why "the Walton Way" might be the friendliest welcome we've had yet.

The one thing that actually helps us reach more golfers is you hitting follow right now.
