Honestly I love Iona. Her content, her personality. Her team that put this all together. I really really hope to see more from this human, Thank You Iona!
Great video. Thanks Iona and Martin. My club pro coaches primary school girls and boys 5 days a week and the kids are so enthusiastic it makes me laugh watching them practice. Making the game affordable is another key objective. I play on a decent municipal 9 hole course for £7 a round. Let the kids play for free.
I moved to Sweden from the Uk and I joined my local golf club in Sweden, the men and women are very even in numbers, the junior golf is huge and they have family golf days. The juniors have 9 weeks off from school in the summer and hang out at the golf course for the whole 9 weeks, it’s such a great thing to see and be a part of. I play with a lady called Bergitta, she’s plays off 6, shes 72, club champion 22 times and has played golf for 62 years, i beat her for the first time last week (yes she is very competitive)!! Martin Slumbers described his vision of change as what’s happening in Sweden, I wish him the best in his job. Great films Iona 👍
Love Iona's stories and content! I was thinking how much her and Jessica Korda resemble each other! Lol! I noticed it when she was sitting next to the gentlemen from the side view, especially!
Beautiful person, and I mean personality, and it does a lot for Martin, showing that he is down to earth and that golf is in safe hands, the image of him being aloof is quite wrong. May he have a long career in his position and also a great career for Iona in the future.
Thank you Iona & Martin, I enjoyed your open, honest & valued sharing of what golf should always be about other than enjoying playing it. Values, respect, behaviour, etc. I am 79 and played golf for many years till 2017 when, after a big spinal operation, am full time in a wheelchair, but I still enjoy watching especially The Open and Women's golf, but also other tournaments an my laptop. Thanks again & all the best to you both. Kind regards from New Zealand.
So happy these videos pop up for me as recommendations because they aren't always easy to scroll thru to look for. I enjoy these interview and golf productions! This is another wonderful episode. And I love watching any round at Crail! ❤
Awesome interview the whole team did a great job on this video. Loved it when he said the whole family need to be involved. Iona is not only a great golfer she asked great questions looking forward to more videos
Hi Iona! I love these videos and the stories that you bring us, it was great hearing Martin’s ideas of how to grow the game and to keep it going in the future. Ken
Oh wow! I've never been touched emotionally like this by any golf video anywhere on RUclips before, ever! Dare I say, I'm sitting here with happy tears on my cheek, and I almost never do that! I got to fly over to Scotland again, and this time play golf!
What a fantastic episode. Thank you Iona, you are the consumate professional who every episode shows us that the sport that we love so much has so many different facet’s and journeys. Thank you Martin, good luck with your dream of turning our wonderful game into reality. 🇨🇦🇬🇧🏴🇨🇦🏌️
I really enjoyed this- Martin comes across as a very good friend who enjoys golf. The on course portion was like being added to your group on the first tee. At the end I would have shook your hands, looked you each in the eye and thanked you both sincerely for a great day out.
Brilliant again Iona, but did I really see you pick up some grass at 12 to see how the wind was blowing 🤣 but joking aside the passion both of you have for the game comes beaming through....loved it.
Loved this conversation and game but listening to Mr Slumbers talk about how he wasn't allowed to go into the club house as a young caddy upset me and reminds me of how golf clubs used to be and some still are to the plebs of society. I always remember of a golf course in Essex that used to only allow golfers with certain types of cars onto the main car park. The others were told to park behind the barn. Silly memories but it irks me still. Well, that's a polite wording of how I feel about certain parts of the game
Iona is one of those truly genuine media personalities, who always manages to make the stories about others, yet still personal. I won a Titleist golf bag from her several years ago, and have been a huge fan ever since!
Very enjoyable. The tone and language used by Martin is wonderful and simple. Loved to hear his lifestory and history in the game. The editing is fantastic and of course your passion for the game shines through. This series of yours is really starting with a great drive. Keep it going.
I really really love how you implement storytelling into golf. You really brought perspectives into golf, get rid of different stereotypes!! really love your videos Iona
I’m so happy I found this channel!! I live in America so we don’t get to see Iona on our television coverage. I’m hugely impressed with all of her content… all of her films are absolutely spectacular!! Her, and her team, do an incredible job telling fantastic stories, with outstanding quality and skill. She’s an absolutely amazing personality who brings a refreshingly youthful, and fun, new outlook to golf!! I can’t wait to see what content comes next!! Awesome job!! Keep up the great work!!
Martin is a wise and knowledgable golfer and if his passion and mission succeeds, then golf is in safe hands and will thrive for generations to come. Great video
❤love what he says about golf exactly how I feel about game of golf , Iona also displays the great spirit & soul of this game in everything she does , almost feel I'm there
This is probably my favourite episode not just on your channel but probably across the RUclips golf network. 😢 insightful, touching and very inspirational. Great stuff
Another fantastic video, beautifully edited. True passion for sport whilst at the same time being equally passionate about the importance of ED&I in sport… which unfortunately is still a rarity when it comes to women in sports. Huge well done Iona 👌👍🏼⛳️
Just the best golf channel/content on RUclips. So much care taken to tell the story of the people, the course, and the community with passion and feeling , not just a shot by shot account of a match. Beautiful courses, beautifully filmed, and beautiful host.
Iona what a great interview exactly the way I should be done , both of you very relaxed enjoying each other’s company and to golf along the way. Really enjoyed his views what an asset to the game.. awesome work..
Absolutely Amazing and a little emotional.. I had something in my eye 👁 😀 Balcomie is a gem. Number one thing to make golf strive in 50 years its to not price us "Normal" players out of the game.. Amazing video.
Loved the vid and message Iona. Im working on a golf project and would love to chat with you about it. Whilst its a probably a long shot would love to discuss with Martin as well !!
This is the first time that I have listened to Iona & I absolutely loved it. The relaxed atmosphere & manner in which the interview was conducted was professional & very well balanced. Martin gave a wonderful hindsight to the R&A all of which was very refreshing. In respect of the view out of the office window, simply WOW!!
Another great vid Iona and interesting to hear from Martin with some good stuff in there. Couple of things left me a little concerned though. Firstly I dunno if I missed the point, but the story about ignoring some problems? Not sure how that relates to his position now in a positive way? Secondly Martin’s comment about needing to tell the story of the elite golfer better. Really? That’s literally all that’s in the media over and over again! How about telling the story better of those golfers trying to make it on the mini tours, or those the rung below them, or the club golfers striving for better? As I say, a lot of good stuff in there, but left feeling slightly lukewarm on my understanding of a few things Martin has said there
Iona was lovely to see you at mount Juliet what fantastic content a little insight in to the top man, have a lovely 150th open we all hope for lasting memories 👍👍👍
Fantastic video. I think that one of the qualities that I admire most in (some) people who have achieved a great deal is their willingness to give credit to others and to express their thoughts lucidly and sincerely, which is a quality you both exemplify. I wish you well and thank you for this series, knowing that you have a very full schedule yet making the time to produce content that is artistic as well as informative.
So well done Iona. You let Martin tell his story so well. Your questions are very succinct - you draw the best out of people just by letting them go. Your passion shines through. A big well done 👍
Another fantastic video Iona, new to the channel and have been eagerly pouring through your back catalogue over the last few days. Hope you get the views and subscriptions this channel deserves.
Honestly I love Iona. Her content, her personality. Her team that put this all together. I really really hope to see more from this human, Thank You Iona!
Could not agree more!
Very true, listening to Iona is very good for the soul
There really no better ambassador for golf - keep it up Iona and thank you.
What a golf course and what a great conversation. Two wonderful golf people talking about the best game in the world. Awesome!
What a fabulous piece. Beautifully done.
I love to watch anything Iona does. She has a great personality and does a great job bringing her world to the rest of us.
ALL of your content, in some very important way, is so relevant to the future of golf!! thank you so much for this content....we need so much more!!
Loving this series. I have my golfing daughter watching them now. Some day I’d love play St.Andrew’s with her. No harm in dreaming.
Iona these videos and stories are great ,keep it up
Such a humble and thoughtful man! Great video
Martin has a great laugh- that says a lot about a person.
Iona, your speech on the 4th green, absolutely spot on, get that feeling every time I'm out its my happy place.
Great video. Thanks Iona and Martin. My club pro coaches primary school girls and boys 5 days a week and the kids are so enthusiastic it makes me laugh watching them practice.

Beautiful, just beautiful made and a great inside in the best game of the world.

Fantastic interview and seems golf is in good hands with Mr Slumbers at the helm.
