  • 48 Hours on the Fylde Coast Podcast
    May 26 2026

    Tom Irwin and Mike Robertson are in the studio to relive another instalment of the NCG Top 100 48 Hours in series — this time heading to England’s underrated golfing hotspot: the Fylde Coast.


    Across two packed days, the pair take on four standout courses, explore the stories behind the clubs, and reflect on why this stretch of Lancashire coastline deserves far more attention from travelling golfers.


    From an early-morning start at Fairhaven to the unmistakable atmosphere and history of Royal Lytham & St Annes, they break down the courses, favourite holes, standout moments and what makes this corner of the North West such a compelling golf destination. Along the way there’s plenty of chat about course architecture, Open Championship venues, local golf culture, coffee runs, first-tee nerves and life on the road filming the 48 Hours in series.


    Expect honest course opinions, behind-the-scenes stories and a reminder that some of the UK’s best golf trips still fly under the radar.


    🎙️ Featuring: Tom Irwin & Mike Robertson

  • Augusta Up Close: Breaking Down the Second Nine After the Masters
    May 12 2026

    Tom and Dan return to complete their deep dive into Augusta National Golf Club, turning their attention to the legendary second nine at the Masters. Before diving in, the pair recap recent travels through North Wales, Belfast, and a fascinating look at golf course transformations and technology conferences shaping the future of the game.


    The main event, though, is Augusta. From the towering slopes of the 10th to the brutal demands of the 11th, they unpack how the course really plays in modern championship conditions — and challenge the long-held idea that the back nine is simply a birdie-fest waiting to happen.


    Along the way, they discuss Rory McIlroy’s infamous 2011 miss on 10, the evolution of Augusta’s firmness and agronomy, the relentless lengthening of the course over the decades, and why modern championship golf is increasingly being defended by firmness rather than distance.


    Expect plenty of architecture chat, Masters nostalgia, strategic insight, and the kind of obsessive golf course detail that only the NCG Top 100 Podcast can deliver.
