With so much preview content already swirling around this year’s Open at Royal Portrush, we decided to take a different approach.
In this episode, we trade analysis for reflection, sharing personal memories of The Open and what makes Royal Portrush and the surrounding area such a special place.
From the storied Dunluce Links to our favorite spots nearby, we revisit the experiences that have stayed with us and explore why The Open remains simply without equal.

In this episode, Connor and D.J. explore the advantages and trade-offs of an October golf trip to Scotland, Ireland, or England.
Most golf trips run exactly to plan. But it's easy for plans to get derailed with international golf travel, and after enough years the pattern is clear. It's almost always the same short list of problems.
Nick Papadakes, PGA Head Professional at Onwentsia Club near Chicago and a longtime friend of H&B, joins Connor and D.J. for a wide-ranging conversation on golf travel overseas.
There is a corner of England that most traveling golfers have never set foot in, and until Connor's recent trip, one H&B hadn't reached in years. The far southwest, from Devon to the cliffs of Cornwall, has quietly held some of the game's most rewarding links all along.
We first covered caddies in Episode 8. Three years, 80 episodes, and hundreds of H&B Expeditions later, it's time for an update.
