282 - James Braid - Part 2: The Architect w/ Simon Barrington

The Cookie Jar Golf Podcast

In Pt II of our series exploring the life of James Braid, we look at his contributions as a Golf Course Architect.
With over 500 courses shaped in some way by Braid, his legacy on the British Golfing landscape is undeniable, and while the likes of Simpson, McKenzie or Colt are often lauded above Braid, his approach to building thought provoking designs which were strategic in nature is something worthy of more celebration.
Huge thanks go to Simon Barrington, an independent researcher of historical architecture, for his hard work in helping us bring this episode to life, and we look forward to releasing part two about the courses which James Braid designed or reimagined in episode two later this week.
For any further consultation around the proivenance of Braid designs around the UK, Simon can be contact on [email protected] or via his X profile: @CambridgeGrey
