⛳️🗣“Golf has changed very little over 600 years. It’s basically still a golfer with a club and a ball and when you stand on the first tee, you will feel as they did 600 years ago.” – Roger McStravick

In this “New Voices” film, we hear from Golf Historian and Author, Roger McStravick. Roger reflects on the evolution of golf and the legendary figures who have helped shape the game.

Watch Roger’s full film and the entire “New Voices” collection in The R&A World Golf Museum's digital guide on Bloomberg Connects or on your next visit to the Museum.

Valerie will also share the story behind the Love Putting Tour and how it aims to help more golfers enjoy putting, rather than fear it.

⛳🗣️ “If we are true custodians, and that’s what I see ourselves as, then we have to leave this game in a better place than we found it in.”– Amir Malik

In it, he also elaborates on how the Muslim Golf Association has evolved beyond a simple organisation, becoming a driving force in shaping the future of golf.
