Episode.5: Jim Hartsell’s latest book, A Round of Scottish Courses, reads less like a conventional guidebook and more like a personal pilgrimage through the soul of Scottish golf. Jim sets out to uncover the places where golf still feels raw, local, and deeply rooted in everyday life—small coastal towns where the clubhouse doubles as a community hub, where the wind dictates every shot, and where the game is played with a quiet reverence. Along the way, he meets greenkeepers, club members, and lifelong friends whose stories are bound with the land itself—people who measure time not in years, but in rounds, one walk at a time. We hope you enjoy this conversation with our friend Jim.
