If you live in St Andrews, you are entitled to a Links Ticket! This is the story of how things work as of recording during the Open week in 2022 (but to be honest, it still works much the same in 2024!) Support me: https://www.patreon.com/freddielawrence

East of Scotland Amateur Championship (with Ben Caton)

June saw the 49th staging of the East of Scotland Amateur Championship at Lundin Golf Club. Throughout recent history, the East of Scotland has produced a roll of honour that reads like a 'who's who' of Scottish amateur golfing royalty, but how much does the event cost to play? In this episode, Freddie catches up with a good friend, Ben, to hear whether or not the tournament is worth playing, especially with regard to the logistical costs involved.  Follow and support the podcast: https://linktr.ee/free_relief_golf

St Andrews Links Trophy (with Arron Edwards-Hill)

The St Andrews Links Trophy is widely considered to be one of the major championships of global amateur golf. Last year, Freddie got to play in it and decided it was well worth the money. This year, he didn't even make the reserve list...so he ended up caddying in the event instead! After working with elite amateur golfer Arron Edwards-Hill for a week over the Jubilee and Old Courses at St Andrews, Freddie had a chat with Arron to find out whether or not he also agreed the Links Trophy is good value for money...
