Episode 14: The Dunhill Links Championship and Our Goals for the Off-Season

In this week’s episode, Ian and Mike share their post-Ryder Cup reflections — what we learned about modern team golf, leadership under pressure, and how Europe and the U.S. are shaping their next generation of stars. The conversation then shifts to the upcoming Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, one of the most unique events on the golfing calendar. The team previews the key storylines, course dynamics, and what to watch for across the Old Course, Carnoustie, and Kingsbarns. They also dive deep into broader themes shaping today’s game — from the importance of match play events in player development, to the ongoing debate around golf’s world ranking system , and the growing toxicity of golf discussions on social media .
