Ep.36 With Stuart McColm, VP Golf Development at Cabot

The final episode in our current 1457 Podcast series is one not to miss. We're joined by Stuart McColm, Vice-President of Golf Development at Cabot, for a fascinating conversation that takes us deep into the thinking behind the Old Petty course at Cabot Highlands. Stuart shares brilliant insight into Cabot's course design philosophy, the vision for Old Petty, and how it will sit alongside Castle Stuart. He also reflects on a remarkable journey in the game... from his early days in greenkeeping to earning a place on the Old Course cutting squad at St Andrews. With over 35 years in golf, Stuart offers a rare perspective on what it takes to bring world-class courses to life. He also speaks warmly about the late Mark Parsinen, whose vision and influence helped shape both Castle Stuart and Kingsbarns, and whose legacy continues to inspire. A brilliant listen to round off the series.
