Episode 218: The Best Logos In Golf

<p>Club logos may be the most talked-about and least examined objects in golf. So George Peper took the deep dive. In this episode, he joins Tom Coyne to unpack <em>The Best Logos in Golf</em>, his new book ranking the game&#39;s best club emblems. Peper explains the seven criteria his panel argued over, why almost none of the winners contain a golf ball or a club, and the list of rules they created for logo life, including one he&#39;s violating during the interview. Peper spent 25 years as editor-in-chief of <em>Golf Magazine</em>, where he built the original ranking of the world&#39;s 100 greatest courses and, he confesses here, rigged the first one so an American course wouldn&#39;t finish No. 1. He also shares the best stories the research turned up: the sea lion that bolted from a 1930s photo shoot and left a nine-holer its logo, the pirate who never existed and now brings Tampa $40 million a year, and why there’s a propeller in the logo of Coyne&#39;s own course.</p><p><br></p><p>The Golfer&#39;s Journal and this podcast are made possible by reader support.
