A podcast four years in the making has finally arrived - the TalkinGolf History has shared the stories of Donald Ross, AW Tillinghast, Dr. Alister MacKenzie, Seth Raynor, Walter Travis, James Braid, Perry Maxwell and finally after years of trying to make it happen we have the story most of you don't know.
Tom Bendelow's story is a story about the early days of American golf and yet a story that has somehow escaped the history books. I am so proud to present the History of Tom Bendelow with his own Grandson, Stuart Bendelow as our guest.22 September 2025, 12:00 am - 1 hour 7 minutesEpisode 142: TGH 142: MacKenzie and Cypress Point
As we countdown until the days of the playing of the 2025 Walker Cup at the Cypress Point Club, I thought it would be great to look back at the History of Dr. Alister MacKenzie and Cypress Point with our special guest Sean Tully.
Its a great show where we ask the question - what would Dr. Mackenzie's career looked like, had Seth Raynor not passed away suddenly in 1926. We discuss the semi-recently found routing plans that may predate both Mackenzie and Raynor.
Enjoy the show and the 2025 Walker Cup!
