SUBSCRIBE - https://bit.ly/RandaGolfSubscribe Rolling dunes, historic greens and a cod on the fairway?! In this episode of What The Golf, we dive into the rich, eccentric history of Royal Porthcawl — one of the most iconic links courses in the world, and host of the 2025 AIG Women’s Open. From its coal port roots to Tiger Woods' first-ever links appearance, Royal Porthcawl has seen it all. Discover how a former mining town became a championship golf destination, how a storm once delivered a fish to the 3rd hole, and why this course has always been ahead of its time — especially for women’s golf. This is Welsh golf like you’ve never seen it before.
