Episode 76
Wednesday, 4 March, 2026
David Normoyle is a respected golf historian who works closely with heritage golf clubs to harness the story telling power of their historical assets. Over the course of our chat, David makes a case for the significance of golf heritage and history - emphasising the need for active conservation of club histories. We look at the distinct difference between tradition and traditionalism, the role of myths and proven fact in golf culture, the danger of recency bias and how the development of a deep understanding a club's past informs and supports future direction. Our conversation also touches on the importance of playing promptly, the distance debate and the influence and importance of literature on the game. Finally David provides actionable advice for clubs looking to preserve their history while engaging with members and visitors. Many thanks for tuning in, we hope you enjoy our chat.
