Unsolicited: The Chipping Forecast

A little brand concept work for golf podcast The Chipping Forecast, hosted by Andrew Cotter, Iain Carter and DP World Tour Player Eddie Pepperell which I’m a huge fan of.

No brief. No commission. Nobody asked. Which, naturally, felt like the perfect reason to do it.

I started with a TCF Badger sketch, inspired by former special guest Iain Carter (iykyk), which quickly became an excuse to explore what a wider visual identity for The Chipping Forecast might look like.

A bit of golf. A bit of broadcasting. A bit of Britishness. And a visual language that hopefully feels as knowledgeable, irreverent and slightly wayward as the podcast itself.

Completely unsolicited. Made with affection.

This year marks an incredible milestone for Course Manager, Barry Nichol, who celebrates 25 years of dedicated service to The East Renfrewshire Golf Club.

Over the last quarter of a century, Barry’s passion, commitment, expertise and pride in the course has helped shape East Ren into the club we all know and love today.

Im working with the club on a short tribute film about him and his dedication to the course and club. This is a short teaser with the full film be released at a special event in honour of Barry at the club in September.

Looking forward to sharing more soon.

Connemara Links is a spectacular links golf course set along the rugged Atlantic coastline in County Galway, Ireland. Surrounded by rolling dunes, mountains, and sweeping ocean views, the course offers a true test of traditional links golf, where coastal winds and natural terrain shape every round. Along with Jason Page and Fescue & Dunes we created a new primary crest for the club along with a new alternate logo based upon the Vickers Vimy bomber which British aviators John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown crash-landed in Connemara. The rough landing successfully completed the world's first non-stop transatlantic flight, winning them a £10,000 prize.

More soon

Covesea Links is a wonderful 9 hole course on the Moray Coast of Scotland. We worked with partners Fescue & Dunes to redevelop their brand identity to better work across merchandise and provide them with a new alternate logo for application to clothing and accessories. The full set includes a new re-drawn primary roundel, a secondary simplified roundel and a new icon featuring the top of the iconic Covesea lighthouse which is visible from the elevated areas of the course.

More on this soon.

Designing ‘The Weight of Rory’ for Normal Sport has been one of those projects that stays with you.

Not just because of what it is, a document of one of golf’s most emotionally charged weeks, but because of what it meant to try and translate that feeling into something physical.

Working on a story like this, around Rory McIlroy and everything that moment carried, you’re constantly aware of the weight of it. The pressure, the history, the noise. All of it had to live in the design somehow, without getting in the way of the story itself. Not to mentioning doing justice to the words of Kyle Porter and illustrations of Jason Page which are incredible.

It was a real honour to help shape how this is experienced. To take something so immediate and emotional and give it form.

Proud of this one.

Pre-orders are live and we are shipping real soon.

We’re incredibly excited to be partnering with Fescue & Dunes.

Proud to be collaborating with a partner who shares our love for quality, story, and the quiet confidence that great golf merchandise should carry. More to come.

Excited to announce our collaboration with Kyle Porter and Jason Page from Normal Sport on a new book project celebrating Rory McIlroy's historic Masters win and completion of the Grand Slam.

When I founded AND I wanted to partner with people and brands who share my passion for golf and have an innovative approach. Normal Sport's creative vibe aligns perfectly with this. You can hear Kyle talk about it in the latest Normal Sport newsletter No. 266. I couldn’t be more proud to work with Kyle and Jason on this project and can't wait to share more soon.

We’ve been working with former pro golfer, coach, and broadcaster Henni Zuel on the brand for her new YouTube channel, This Golf Thing — the home for golf insight, coaching, tour life, tips, and culture. Real conversations, smart coaching, and honest takes — brought to life by someone who’s lived the game.

We developed the naming, brand strategy, visual identity, video design, merchandise, and website. More on this exciting project soon.
