Welcome to Episode 11 of Scratch Social, double digits already! Time really does fly when you’re having fun.

This week, we cover a packed golf agenda as the 2026 season properly comes to life. We start with a Scratch Social news update and a strong focus on women’s amateur and professional golf, as momentum continues to build across the game.

We dive into the latest WTGL player announcements, highlighting a star-studded lineup that signals just how serious this new competition is about showcasing elite women’s golf. From major champions to global icons, the conversation explores what this means for visibility, opportunity, and the future of the women’s game.

The episode then turns to the men’s tours, with reaction to the DP World Tour’s Dubai Invitational, where drama unfolded right to the final hole, and the PGA Tour’s Sony Open in Hawaii, where composure and emotional control once again proved decisive.

We also touch on the return of the LPGA and Ladies European Tour, Paddy reveals what he posted for the social media trend of 2016, and why it’s simply great to have the tours back in full swing.

Listener engagement takes centre stage with a brilliant hypothetical question from Scratch Social community member Danny Doyle, challenging us to pick just two golf courses one links and one parkland to play for the rest of our lives.

The episode finishes with our latest Scratch Social Course Picks, including a bucket-list destination, a superb course under €50 recommended by listeners, and Up & Down of the Week.
