E22. The Blend - The Story of Braid & Grant - Exporting Scotland
The podcast explores the intertwined legacies of James Braid, a pioneering golf course architect, and William Grant, a visionary whiskey distiller, emphasizing their shared values of craftsmanship, innovation, and connection to Scotland's Highlands. Braid’s career evolved from a humble carpenter to a five-time Open champion and legendary course designer, with highlights like Gleneagles, where he preserved the spirit of the land in his designs. Grant, a cattle herder turned whiskey innovator, built the Glenfiddich Distillery stone by stone with his family, introducing single malts to the world. Their legacies, rooted in patience, skill, and love for the Highlands, celebrate Scotland’s identity through golf and whiskey. The episode concludes with listener Q&A about mastering ball flight (draw vs. fade), choosing beginner golf clubs, and playing in wind, alongside a call to action for joining GolfCask and participating in its growing community.
