Current Issue: No.12
Featured Story: Opening the door is like stepping back in time, and I am immediately surrounded by a forest of colourful hickory clubs, stretching from floor to ceiling. At the far side of the shop I spot Boris, the light streaming in through a nearby window onto his workbench where he’s carefully rubbing down the tip of a hickory shaft that he’ll marry up with a mashie head once again.

What you'll find in our current edition
In No.12, Richard Pennell discovers the joys of Rosapenna. Boris Lietzow shows us round his hickory shop in Gullane, and Jamie Darling plays Among Lofty Sandhills experiencing the original 12 holes of Prestwick. Seaton Carew prospers against all odds, and Tommy Twigley's 56 degree wedge, affectionately know as Uncle Phil, goes missing. The true face of golf is not Scottie Scheffler or Rory McIlroy, or some other factory-produced, absurdly wealthy, golf professional. It is 86 year old Sandy Watson of Southend, who lives 50 yards from the 1st tee at Dunaverty. All of this and more in The Links Diary No.12.
