Episode Notes

Another month, another record. England Golf's iGolf scheme added more than 6,100 subscribers in May alone, while recorded rounds topped 100,000 for the first time.

Nearly 30,000 golfers have gone on to join clubs since the programme launched – but are clubs doing enough to welcome these players? Or are some turning away a valuable source of future members by restricting access to Open competitions?

Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll dive into the numbers and discuss whether golf clubs are missing a major opportunity.
