Thanks for sharing this Tommy.

I'll sound like a record on repeat, but Jim Hartsell is easily my favorite personality in the golf space. If you haven't read When Revelation Comes, just order it (I wish they had an audiobook). He's influenced the way I look at golf significantly, and his eclectic eighteen on the Cookie Jar podcast was one of the most interesting discussions of some genuinely obscure courses in a world where we typically never leave the canon.

Thanks Tommy for posting that link; it was a lovely video and in such a stark contrast to a lot of the golf rubbish that is now so popular on YouTube these days.


And thanks Matt for recommending his book; I had not heard of Jim Hartsell before and after seeing that video, I'm sure I would enjoy the book.

Absolutely top notch film.
Soul is right.
Very hard to not tear up and realize how lucky we all are.

An excellent video that shows why golf is the greatest game.

Thank you for sharing.  I'll admit, this gave me tears.  Both of my trips to Scotland were a part of the grieving process for two of the closest family members to me.  Spending time there with the people, nature and the golf helped immensely.


RIP Jordan


Thank you Tommy,

Perhaps the greatest golf video I have ever seen.  The essence of golf and why it is the greatest game ever played.  Thank you…

I notified Slag Bandoon about this thread because he always spoke fondly of Dunaverty.

He really enjoyed the video and I learned that he loved the place without having had a chance to play there. I guess its soul was obvious to him just from a visit.

I also learned that he is working on a course in God's country (Montana). Look out Rock Creek Cattle Company, your time as the belle of the ball in Montana is limited.
