This Golfing Life: Mike Clayton

Episode two of This Golfing Life features a deep dive with Mike Clayton, proud son of Melbourne, tour pro, golf course architect, writer, thinker and, to many, a latter day patron saint of the game.

In a wide-ranging conversation, we hear about Mike’s latest project, the spectacular modern links at 7 Mile Beach, and learn more about his start in the game, the rich golf scene in the Melbourne Sandbelt, course architecture, the mental challenges of golf, the historical figure he’s most like to have a conversation with, and his personal insights on famous players and architects.
