Reflecting on a Brilliant 2025 is a short golf blog post that says thank you to everyone who has read my golf blog posts during 2025.
As the 2025 season officially gives way to the joyful bustle of the holiday season, I want to take a moment to extend my sincere gratitude.
Sending warmest Christmas wishes to every dedicated reader of this blog. Your support and enthusiasm this year have been exceptional!
Reflecting on a Year of In-Depth Golf
This past year has been stimulating, as we’ve explored the fascinating and often technical side of the game.
Course & Heritage: We delved into significant course developments like The Old Course Makeover, detailed travel reviews from Elevate Golf.
I examined the challenges and beauty of historic courses like Ladybank and The K Club.
Rules & Strategy: The quality of discussion around critical details—from Pin Positions to the intricacies of the Unplayable Lie rule (Rule 19).
The Professional Game: We kept a keen eye on the tours, analysing the support systems of The Elite Golf Team and reviewing major events like The Alfred Dunhill Links.
Your engagement with these deeper subjects—the architecture, the history, and the rules—is the engine that drives this blog.
Thank you for making 2025 such a rewarding year of analysis and debate.
Holiday Cheer & Looking Ahead to 2026
As you take a well-deserved break, I hope you have a truly Merry Christmas and a restful festive period.
May your holidays be filled with joy, peace, and perhaps a few golf-related gifts!
While the course may be quiet, the planning for 2026 is already underway. I look forward to bringing you more expert analysis in the new year, including:
Advanced Rules Clinics: Building on our past work to clarify complex rulings.
Professional Course Management Strategies: Translating Tour-level thinking into actionable advice for your game.
Features on New Equipment & Technology.
Thank you once more for your loyalty. I wish you and your families a joyous Christmas and the very best of health and prosperity in the New Year.
