Our latest short film, The Ladies of St Andrews, tells their story. Watch it Monday at 6pm on our YouTube channel. Presented by @jones_sports_co

To our dear friend Jim. We are lost for words. Jake was such a wonderful young man — kind, warm, and loved by everyone who was lucky enough to know him. He will be so dearly missed. Sending you all our love and strength. 💔 The Hartsell family have set up a go-fund me page in Jake’s memory — supporting junior golf at Shiskine & Dunaverty. gofund.me/8b469c28e

Despite the picture in everyone’s mind of an Irish caddie, rosy face weathered from the wind and sun, with an intelligible accent and a joke or quip for every scenario, it was fun to have such a young guy carrying my bag. Ralph had grown up on the course. That alone felt important. He knew the greens the way you know a familiar room in the dark. He had an easy confidence when it came to the little decisions, when to let the ball run, when the wind would steal half a club, when the ground would do something unexpected. Those things matter here. Lahinch doesn’t announce its difficulty loudly; it just waits for you to underestimate it. Where Time Slowed Down | TLD No.15 Words & Photography Andrew Schoneberger

When Andy and Angela first came over that brow and into the cove, they were utterly smitten by the place itself — perched between land and sea, wild yet welcoming. What followed was less a business venture than a kind of pilgrimage: a return to golf in its most elemental form, stripped of ceremony and expectation, and rediscovered through instinct, imagination and joy.

Between land and sea on the Moray coast, Covesea Links is golf at its purest. Andy Burnett and his family have created something deeply personal—a place where imagination matters more than perfection, and the ancient joy of the game is rediscovered. This is golf with soul.
