Advertise on podcast: The 1457 Podcast

Scottish rugby royalty Gavin and Scott Hastings join the 1457 Podcast for a warm, wide-ranging conversation that blends sport, golf and nostalgia. The brothers reminisce about unforgettable childhood rounds across the Scottish Highlands, from Boat of Garten and Nether Bridge to Grantown on Spey and Pitlochry, before bringing the story up to the present day as members in East Lothian, sharing stories that capture the spirit of the game and the places that shaped them. They also reflect on their charity work, and just how fortunate they feel to have played so many memorable charity days on some wonderful courses. A relaxed, entertaining listen with two true Scottish sporting icons.

Winter golf in Scotland isn't a pause button... it's a different kind of pleasure. In the latest episode of the 1457 Podcast, Malcolm, Dave and Ross chat all things winter golf: shorter days, crisp air, quieter fairways and why there are still plenty of reasons to keep your swing going right through the off-season. From staying sharp to enjoying the game at a slower, more atmospheric pace, it's a timely reminder that golf doesn't stop when the clocks change.

After a long hiatus, The 1457 Podcast is back. Malcolm, Dave and Ross catch up on a busy year, sharing reflections on golf, work and everything else that shaped their 2025. A relaxed, honest return as the conversation picks up where it left off.
