In this special 15-minute episode, we sit down with Neil Hampton, General Manager of the legendary Royal Dornoch Golf Club, to unpack the visionary growth formula that’s reshaping one of Scotland’s most historic clubs. Under Neil’s forward-thinking leadership, Dornoch is thriving—not just preserving tradition, but innovating for a bold future in global golf.
We discuss:
The long-term strategy behind Royal Dornoch’s success
How Neil balances heritage with innovation
Why Dornoch is becoming a global benchmark for club excellence
The community, member, and visitor-focused approach that’s fuelling growth
No need to talk about the now-infamous FOXY thread on X (formerly Twitter), sparked by the No Laying Up podcast, and those oversized FOXY hats that stirred up a storm. We zoom out from that because the real story at Royal Dornoch is far more meaningful than social media squabbles. This episode goes deeper than the threads and trending memes—this is about real leadership, real legacy, and a real plan for the future of golf.
