In this episode of Top 100 Clubhouse, James and Jasper sit down with amateur golfer and golf videographer Luke Hodgetts to explore the game through the lens of a competitive amateur player. From storytelling in golf videography to filming at Royal Melbourne, Luke shares how his perspective has evolved, and how his playing style informs how much he enjoys the architecture of a course. Jasper also provides us with deep bunker insight, and briefly explores why different players might prefer strategic vs. penal designs.
