Golf Pod Cymru is the home of Welsh golf — and the stories that shape it.
Hosted by golf-mad actor and sports broadcaster Rhys ap William, alongside Eryl Williams, a single-figure handicapper and Managing Director of Asbri Golf, and PGA professional Matt Dearden, this weekly podcast dives into every corner of the game in Wales.
From Welsh professionals competing across the men’s, ladies’ and seniors’ tours to the thriving amateur scene at home, Golf Pod Cymru celebrates the players, courses and characters that define the game in Wales. Each week, the team spotlights a different Welsh golf course and welcomes special guests — from touring professionals and well-known personalities to grassroots club pros — for insightful, entertaining and honest conversations about golf in Wales.
It’s a celebration of the people, the places and the passion behind Welsh golf — told by those who live it.
