Sublime Rory Story Through 36 Holes open.substack.com/pub/thealbat...

Ah, I see defences of MacIntyre are appearing, written by those who fear losing the next interview with their tartan hero. But we’re talking a pattern of bad behaviour here, not an isolated incident. Change is required. Right now he’s an embarrassment, a grown man masquerading as an adolescent.

Fred Ridley’s comments re the golf ball and distance are to be welcomed. But don’t expect many golf magazine writers to come out in support of that obvious assertion. The threat of lost advertising from equipment companies will keep this debate one-sided 🤷‍♂️

Holes That Aren't Holes. Royal Cinque Ports, Kent, England. 5th tee to 17th green, 202 yards @mikeclaytongolf.bsky.social

Until the next time, Australia🏌️‍♂️🍻

I’m sorry….but that course in Delhi is just stupid. Totally Mickey Mouse 🙄

Even more on the second hole, this time looking at the positive changes at the green to transform it into one of the most fascinating in major championship golf, plus thoughts from McIlroy, Scott and Nicklaus on what they love and hate about the hole. quadrilateral.substack.com/p/part-ii-th...

More than anyone should ever need to know about the second hole at Augusta National, part I! quadrilateral.substack.com/p/the-second...

A glorious afternoon for yesterday's visit to CM John McLoughlin at Wallasey. This winter's work has included the construction of a short game practice area which will open in May and the addition of closely mown areas within several green complexes. Kudos to him for driving such improvements.

Holes that aren’t holes. North of Perth. The longest stretch of perfect coastal land for golf in the world.

Talking head on Golf Channel says a major course “should test every club in the bag.” When was the last time any course achieved that when confronted with elite golfers armed with frying pans and turbo-charged balls? 🙄

Eindhoven's 16th fairway is reasonably wide and straight, which is handy if you need to land your plane and have a game with Dai Rees, who was stationed nearby, as Field Marshal Montgomery did towards the end of WWII.

Beautiful spring weather yesterday at Koninklijke Haagsche aka Royal Hague. For almost two decades, @ivgd1.bsky.social has been advising the club during which time a long-term restoration of Colt and Alison's links has been undertaken, the course now appearing in most world top100 lists.

Golf de Fontainebleau. The newly restored bunkers on the 9th are now sanded.

@mikeclaytongolf.bsky.social and @lukasmichel.bsky.social were kind enough to model our new team apparel. A limited supply of these items plus a few other pieces will shortly be available for sale with all profits going to Tee Up For Kids.

If you’d told this little kid one day he’d make $6.5m (A) for a week of golf he’d never have come close to thinking it was possible. But he was always really good. Aust Open 2014.

Finally water at 7 Mile Beach. The recycled water line extended from the airport reaches the dam.

A big day today at Royal Perth in WA with the opening of six new greens and a Himalayas putting green, phase 2 of our renovations in partnership with KruseGolf.
