Episode 133: TGH 133: The History of Oakmont: Part 1
In this first installment of our deep dive into the storied history of Oakmont Country Club, we're joined by club historian Dave Moore to explore Oakmont's formative years - before the US Opens, before the national spotlight. We uncover the vision of founder HC Fownes, the bold architectural principles that shaped the course, and how Oakmont's fierce identity was forged long before it became a championship icon. This is the origin story of one of golf's most revered venues.

Episode 132: TGH 132: They Won For Everyone
The week leading into the 2025 PGA Championship, I thought I would reshare one of our fan favorite podcasts titled, "They Won for Everyone." This podcast tells the story of golf's systematic discrimination and the events that led to the striking of the PGA's Caucasian Clause.
Next week the TalkinGolf History podcast will have a brand new podcast on the History of James Braid.
For the US Open we will cover the History of Oakmont Country Club.

Episode 131: TGH 131: The Top 100 Golfers
Today on the podcast I interview author Michael Arkush about his new book, The Golf 100: A Spirited Ranking of the Greatest Players of All-Time.
I think you will really enjoy this show - we took a slightly different route and focused on some of the lesser known golfers and in the end I debate Michael a bit on his Top 10.
Listen to the podcast and let me know what you think - who is in your Top 10 of all-time? Let me know on twitter @shistorians
The podcast network for serious golfers. TalkinGolf launched as an online audio show way back before podcasts (or even the iPhone) were a thing. We've been on an extended break since 2012 but now we're back and creating new and interesting content each week as well as a sprinkling of some of the best stuff from the archives.
