"pitchmarks" is an independent golf blog, written by Richard Pennell and distributed by Substack. It is a blend of reports of course visits and nostalgic reflections on this strangest of games.

Out of the original version of this blog - "Stymied" - comes "Grass Routes", a collection of essays about courses from The Berkshire to Borth & Ynyslas, and Ashridge to Aberdovey. It includes several new chapters and some glorious photography - mostly not the author's!
A debt of gratitude to Grant Books for their generosity and patience in bringing a lifelong dream - to publish a book - into reality. Since 1971 they have been publishing the best in golf writing; it is humbling to appear among such gorgeous company.
This site gives you the opportunity to help Richard clear a large pile of boxes from his hallway and maybe fund one or two future golfing adventures and a few more golf balls, for which many thanks in advance.
