Here is Stephen Proctor accepting the HWW Award from the USGA last night. As always, his words are lovely & thoughtful. In honor of Wind, the subject of the March episode of The Duffers Literary Companion will be America’s Gift to Golf: Herbert Warren Wind on The Masters

After first discovering Charley Price last year on the Duffer’s Literary Companion it was joy to read this beautiful essay from Jim Moriarty on the great man in the latest @GolfersJournal

My 1st time visiting Silloth on Solway today. Stunning course. Darwin put it beautifully. I never more violently fell in love with a course at first sight. I will return 😁

@Golfmonkey74 Thanks for this. A few have mentioned Berkshire now. There’s legitimately too many good courses to choose from..

Are there any London golf opinions out there🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿? Let’s say Sunningdale Old/New, Swinley Forest, St George’s Hill are the top-4 in the area. What would you say are the next 4 or 5 best/must see courses in the London-area (within ~1.5 hour drive, excludes Kent)?

@YeahClickClack @TeaBar_CFC not played Hankley Common but a bunch of very well travelled people I know rate it as high as it gets in London, purely based on the course

@TeaBar_CFC Very helpful. And yes all would be considered. Do you have any thoughts on Hankley Common?

@thepropergolfer Still unmatched course record with some of the most brutal greens in the world, set with PW and "Sand" (58). But sure, we all need 4 custom-fitted wedges.

When I play with friends using modern equipment and I see them hit a PW on a par 3, I say: “Nice shot—8?” Then they say, “It was a wedge.” And I reply, “Nice 8.” #propergolf

Currently enjoying “50 years of golf” by Andrew Kirkaldy first published in 1921. Great tales of life in St Andrews but I thought this short passage was wonderful and as true today as it was then

Drone day 13. Today’s course took a bit of effort to get to. A video with my son massively exaggerating (for the camera) by slight pull 😂
