The Duffer's Literary Companion

Authors Stephen Proctor (The Monarch of the Green, The Long Golden Afternoon) and Jim Hartsell (The Secret Home of Golf, When Revelation Comes) celebrate all that is great about the rich literary history of golf writing.

The first three episodes will explore the history of golf writing in the UK and the USA, covering writers such as Horace Hutchinson, Bernard Darwin, Pat Ward-Thomas and Herbert Warren Wind. Subsequent episodes will go in-depth on specific books by writers like Tom Morton, Michael Bamberger, Andrew Greig and many others.

New episodes will be released on the 1st Friday of every month. Available on Apple and Spotify.
