Host Colin Weston met Graeme McCubbin at the 2025 PGA Show in Orlando and their mutual love for design and visual storytelling immediately connected them.
Graeme generously gave Colin a copy of The Links Diary, which led to an invitation to participate in The Stand on Solway, a three day Scottish golf experience with more than a dozen other links-loving people gathered to create memorable experiences and new friendships.
While relaxing post-round at the manor house where everyone was staying, Colin sat down with two of the four Links Diary co-founders Kenny Pallas and Graeme for a chat to learn about the magazine's origin story.
"The Links Diary started when the world shut down during COVID. We were bored with mainstream media and how they portray golf. All they do is sell you an advert on every single page for another golf product. We felt disenfranchised with that side of golf and thought, 'Wouldn't it be cool if we did something different? Tell real stories, use beautiful imagery and when combined with a clean, modern design aesthetic, compels you to feel something deeper.' So when you read the magazine and see the imagery, you experience the quality and become part of The Links Diary journey."
