The Society of Golf Historians is flying to Scotland in August of 2025 and we want you to join us!

Today on the show we are joined by the President and Co-Founder of PerryGolf, Gordon Dalgleish, who shares the early history of PerryGolf and how it was one of the early pioneers in the golf travel industry.

Gary and I then pivot to discuss The Society of Golf Historians Trip to Scotland with Gary providing some color into some of the Open’s most famous venues.

The trip will be unlike any other – PerryGolf is scheduling the golf, hotels and travel accomodations and I am scheduling the extracurriculars which include walking tours of St Andrews, a live recording of the TalkinGolf History Podcast and some things I dont want to share in the media (but will be amazing).

When you think of the American Dream – that wonderful tale of a rags to riches story – few can beat the story of Calvin Peete. From climbing into trees in orchards, to shattering his elbow, to becoming a pool shark , then a golf hustler to a Vardon Trophy winner, and Players Champion on the PGA Tour – Calvin’s story is a tale of the struggle to become someone in this world.

This podcast was only made possible by Gordon Hobson and his wonderful book, Calvin Peete, Golf’s Forgotten Star.

As we close in on the 124th playing of the US Open at Pinehurst, I thought it would be a great time to rollback the podcast to a show we recorded during the pandemic.

Recorded and filmed from Golf Club Atlas Headquarters in Pinehurst, NC, this podcast includes the Founder of Golf Club Atlas, Ran Morrisett, Kyle Frantz Golf Design, former President of the Donald Ross Society, Brad Becken, CEO of Story Lounge Film Company and current President of the Donald Ross Society and myself.

A great podcast that celebrates Pinehurst and the genius of Donald Ross.
