A close look at Lucas Herbert’s 62 last week - and what it tells us about the distance debate
Dan Murphy got stuck into the nitty-gritty of the rounds of 62 shot during The Open at Birkdale, and what they mean for golf’s conundrum with how far the ball travels 🏌️♂️

Who says that you can’t play outstanding courses in Britain any more without breaking the bank?

Hugely impressive stuff @AberdoveyGC. Always been a favourite of mine but lifted significantly in recent years. What a treat and truly among GB&I’s elite now
I went to the Masters last week. I spent a lot of hours on the golf course. Sometimes when there were golfers there too. It lived up to my ripest expectations

I wonder if anyone already knew this?
Come on. Be honest

A subject about which I am passionate: our finest courses being redesigned to accommodate the modern tour pro
Are the world's best courses too easy for tour pros? 🎙️🎧
This week's NCG Top 100s Podcast takes on one of the game’s most heated debates: what can be done to restore the challenge of our classic layouts?

Fancy listening in to an intense discussion about bunkers? Then look no further. We’ve got you covered
Do bunkers cost too much to maintain? Do they truly pose a hazard for players? 🤔
The latest NCG Top 100s Podcast, @DanMurphyGolf and host Tom Irwin dig into the origins of bunkers and what the golden age architects really intended.

I remember - and owned - the original version of the @BushnellGolf Tour Hybrid. That was pretty cool. But the latest version is just a joy to use. It gives the serious golfer the best of both laser and GPS worlds

I know you’re desperate to learn how I rated every player’s performance at the Ryder Cup. Here you go. As a bonus, I even included the captains

Yesterday began like Whistling Straits. But only for about 15 minutes.

Whatever happened to respectful, low-key celebrations in golf? Even in the Walker Cup. Is the exuberance really necessary?

Here are a few of the pristine fairways I have been fortunate to tread in Scotland this summer. #ThankAGreenkeeperDay
On behalf of all the @NCGTop100s team - I would like to pass on our heartfelt appreciation for the work of @BIGGALtd greenkeepers on #ThankAGreenkeeperDay. As the Scots (might) say: Nae greenkeepers, nae golf.
Not just today but every day
Some thoughts comparing and contrasting the spectator experience at the Ryder and Walker Cups.
Spoiler: I would really, really like to be at Cypress Point this week (or any other for that matter)
The Ryder Cup is an electric, pulsating and memorable on-site experience, but put Dan Murphy in the middle of a fairway watching the best amateurs battle on one of the world’s best courses, and he is even happier 🤩

My first visit to @DunavertyC5911 was quite disorientating to start with. Things did pick up though. What a spot.
Lovely to listen to locals reminiscing about The Doyen in the clubhouse afterwards. I can confirm that Jock is fondly remembered @AGWgolfwriters
I have been boshing @PINGTourEurope’s new iDi driving irons by the seaside. They are quite the weapons in these bouncy, firm conditions

Always enjoy a friendly tussle with @mgchiversNCG
US Open week usually means a debate about a long par 3, especially where the 8th hole at Oakmont is concerned
Me and @DanMurphyGolf argued over whether they are good thing or a bad thing

Had a game @CairndhuGolfC @CairndhuGC today. What a find - perfect if you are catching a ferry into/out of Larne or Belfast. Never a dull moment and the views in all directions reminded me a little of those @Bamburghgolf. Thanks to @TourismNIreland for facilitating
Not sure what I was expecting @StonehavenGC but whatever it was, this surpassed it
