This week on Tee Baggers, we pull back the curtain on the golf industry with Sam Hughes from 59club — the company that secretly audits golf clubs to see who’s actually delivering a world-class experience… and who’s just coasting on their reputation.

From horror stories at “elite” clubs to the courses that absolutely nailed it, Sam gives us the raw truth on what makes or breaks a golf experience — and why Aussie clubs might need a bit of a wake-up call.

We get into:

⛳ What 59club actually does — and why some clubs fear them

😬 The worst club Sam’s ever audited (without naming names… sort of)

🏆 Which golf courses blew him away

📉 The most common mistakes clubs keep making

🇦🇺 How Aussie clubs stack up globally

🎯 What public courses are getting right

🎮 How tech is changing the game

👀 What golfers really notice — and what they don’t

👊 Plus, what club GMs should do today if they want to lift their game

We also find out if Sam can actually swing a club himself — or if he just judges from the sidelines.

If you love golf but hate slow play and average service, this one’s for you.
