In this special year-end edition of Inside the Ropes, host Brian Bailie walks you through the December issue of GolfCask Magazine: Revelry & Reflection—straight from the pages to your earbuds. You’ll spark things up with Eddie K’s ode to My Father Cigars Blue, a cigar built for honest self-assessment and post-round storytelling.
From there, Megan Miller takes you to the French Quarter with Crescent Simples and her Vieux Carré riff that carries all the chaos, charm, and cocktail culture of New Orleans in a single glass. High-performance coach Charles Sandison Woods then reframes what excellence in golf really looks like—where art, ownership, and honest coaching meet. Finally, Lorcan O’Connor brings you to Corballis Golf Links, a rugged, affordable Dublin gem that proves you don’t need a major’s price tag for a major experience.
As a bonus, Brian closes with his own “Chew on This” feature—using Wrigley’s gum as whiskey training wheels—turning a $1.29 pack into a full-blown sensory toolkit. It’s cigars, cocktails, coaching, links golf, and palate training—all poured into one year-end celebration.
