Matt Fitzpatrick's US Open victory wasn’t only significant for him; it was significant for his right-hand man Billy Foster, too.

Elsewhere, Michael and Bryce discuss the LIV latest and look ahead to the Scottish Open, whilst there’s also a chance to win a stylish new golf bag courtesy of our sponsors Callaway.

The changing face of grassroots golf
Friday Jul 01, 2022
Friday Jul 01, 2022
On this bonus edition of The bunkered Podcast, Michael and Bryce explore how the landscape of grassroots golf has shifted as a result of the pandemic and, in particular, the changes to ‘traditional’ golf club membership.
They are joined by Karin Sharp and Iain Forsyth, Scottish Golf’s chief operating officer and chief commercial officer respectively, to reflect on the ways in which they tackled the unprecedented threat posed by COVID-19 and the membership solution that they believe will appeal to so-called ‘nomadic’ or independent golfers.

The Paige Spiranac episode (plus US Open recap)
Monday Jun 20, 2022
Monday Jun 20, 2022
With more than three million Instagram followers, Paige Spiranac has more followers on that platform that any other golf. More than Tiger, more than Rory, and four times as many as Bryson. She's kind of a big deak.
Having decided to turn her back on playing the game for a living, the Shot Scope ambassador has her own flourishing digital media brand and joins this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast to discuss death threats via DM, what she did to get blocked by Phil Mickelson, and why she would never accept an offer from LIV Golf.
Elsewhere, Michael and Bryce review all the action from an incident-packed US Open won by Matt Fitzpatrick and catch up with Rick Shiels during his marathon charity walk from Prestwick to St Andrews.
Oh, and the “ban yellow golf balls” movement is gathering momentum...
