316 - Amateur Golf, the Tennant Cup & Open Qualifying with Half Par

Sam drives down to meet a fatigued Peter Handcock (aka @half_par_kid) at the renown Beaconsfield Services to talk about his first foray back into top-level amateur golf since before Covid and his run at Open Qualifying.

First up is The Tennant Cup — golf’s oldest open amateur stroke play event — followed by a bid at Open Qualifying at Kilmarnock Barassie, where he sadly came up just two shots short of securing a spot at Deal for Finals.

We’ll continue the story next week on the road to The Open Championship, as our podcast wraps up Final Qualifying. We’ll have correspondents at each venue — if you see us, pop over and say hello! It's one of the best days to watch golf in the UK, and we cannot wait!
