Jim Hartsell will tell you the best golf course in the world is 4,800 yards and a par 66. He is not being cute about it. He would like you to come after him.In this episode of The Bag Drop: Untold Stories in Golf, host Matt Considine and co‑host Dr. Kevin Moore (a.k.a. “The Professor”) sit down with Jim Hartsell — architect, three-time Bag Drop guest, and author of A Round of Scottish Courses — for a conversation about what thirty years of returning to the same small Scottish clubs teaches you about why golf places matter, and what a golfer owes a place once he starts telling everyone about it.The conversation dives into:Why Dunaverty — 4,800 yards, par 66 — is his answer to "best course in the world," and why he thinks the question is usually asked wrongWhat choosing eighteen favorites instead of eighteen best freed him to write — and how a chapter actually gets built, including the sheepdog trials that unlocked a lost course on ArranThe night the Old Course put a flag on the 18th green made from a drawing his nine-year-old son had left on his laptopThe green-fee trap: why North Berwick and Brora keep going up, and why tour operators refuse to take a £30 course seriouslyWhether writing about Dunaverty, Askernish and Isle of Harris is quietly changing them — and what the members themselves say about thatThree rules for being a good guest at a Scottish club, including the one about tipping too muchConnect with our guests📚 Jim Hartsell — https://jhartsellgolf.com — 🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/JimHHartsell](https://x.com/JimHHartsell) | 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimhartsell/📕 A Round of Scottish Courses (Back Nine Press) — https://back9press.com/products/a-round-of-scottish-courses🎧 The Duffer's Literary Companion (Jim & Stephen Proctor) — https://tdlcpodcast.podbean.comJoin the NewClub community🌍 Website: https://www.newclub.golf📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/newclubgolf/🐦 X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/newclubgolf📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@newclubgolf💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/newclubLinks & Partners🐝 NewClub: https://www.newclub.golf🏌️ Titleist: https://www.titleist.com🌐 Golf Blueprint: https://www.golfblueprint.comListen to The Bag Drop🎧 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bag-drop-untold-stories-in-golf/id1430328006🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2xRWtUBJH8RazdLw14oaGH 🎧 Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/633c8703-5880-4522-bd6d-5967b45fc777/the-bag-drop-untold-stories-in-golfConnect with Matt & The Professor🎙️ Matt Considine — 🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/consequential85 | 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/consequence18/ | 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-considine-103bb21/📚 Dr. Kevin Moore ("The Professor") — 🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/kevcmoore | 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kevcmoore | 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-moore-177b30b3/🗣️Contribute to the show! — 📧 email: thebagdrop@newclub.golfChapters00:00 Cold open: the anticipation is half the fun00:41 Welcome, and the Professor's new office02:16 A love letter to the game: who your club introduces you to03:01 Caddie School for Soldiers and thirty days at the Home of Golf04:31 Jim Hartsell, third appearance, third book06:34 Professor's teaching: quiet eye and gaze duration11:29 Ad read: Titleist T-Series and the three Ds13:52 Three books, one thread15:09 The course gets you in the room; a person carries the story16:32 The high school English teacher who started all this19:31 Calling Rob Collins with a crazy idea23:29 Fifty interviews, an outline, and meeting Jim Sitar26:40 The books that made him: Wind, Bamberger, Morton, MacVicar31:18 When Revelation Comes, and the notebook that read like a book35:25 Patric Dickinson's eighteen best, and Jim's eighteen favorite38:53 Dunaverty is the best course in the world: 4,800 yards, par 6642:07 Soup, clubhouses, and the whole lived experience45:40 Sheepdog trials, and when history earns its place in a chapter49:56 What do you have against the Scottish east coast?51:44 Frankfurt, a lost day, and a morning inside the R&A54:33 Dark hours on the Old with a persimmon driver56:52 The flag on the eighteenth green1:00:35 Why the most famous place in golf did not have to do that1:02:21 Does writing about these places change them?1:06:40 North Berwick, Brora, and being too cheap to be taken seriously1:07:46 Would the veneer wear off if you moved there?1:12:14 Three rules for being a good guest (and don't over-tip)1:14:41 Calendars, course guides, and Jordan's junior program1:19:27 Close: subscribe, review, and the Titleist T-Series
