Aaron Rai for Ryder Cup? + The UK's Ultimate 3 Day Golf Trip | Full Program Golf Podcast #35

Episode 35 of the Full Program Golf Podcast - and there’s plenty to get into after a packed Bank Holiday weekend.

We kick things off with a catch up on the last couple of weeks in professional golf, including the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club. We discuss the course setup, Aaron Rai’s huge win, whether he’s now a genuine Ryder Cup contender, and our thoughts on the continued changes to the PGA Championship format and identity.

We also touch on the CJ Cup, LIV Golf, and some of the other big talking points from across the golf world.

Then it’s time for another edition of Play 3, Cut 5 - this week focused on US Open venues. From Shinnecock Hills Golf Club to Oakmont Country Club, Pinehurst No. 2 to Pebble Beach Golf Links - which iconic venues survive the cut?

We also debate a brutal golf hypothetical: if you could play every course in the world’s Top 100 exactly once, but never again… would you take the deal?

Plus, we rank four of the UK’s most exclusive golf clubs: The Wisley, Queenwood Golf Club, Beaverbrook Golf Club, and Loch Lomond Golf Club.

To finish, we each build the ultimate 3-day UK golf trip. Josh heads north with an Inverness itinerary featuring Royal Dornoch Golf Club, Castle Stuart Golf Links, Old Petty Golf Club and Nairn Golf Club, while Stevie makes the case for England’s southwest with Saunton Golf Club and Royal North Devon Golf Club.
