Roll It Back Productions

Welcome to Roll it Back Productions, where golf history comes alive. We explore the golden age of golf, when hickory shafts, persimmon woods, and balata balls defined the sport. Before launch monitors and 350-yard drives, there was shotmaking, course design, and a deep connection between player and course. Each episode uncovers forgotten champions, the origins of iconic courses, and traditions that quietly disappeared as technology reshaped the game. If you love golf lore, vintage equipment, course architecture, and believe the soul of the game lives in its history, you're in the right place!

  Harry Vardon and the Jersey Boys

  Apr 19, 202623 minS1

  <p>Before Harry Vardon won six Open Championships, he was a barefoot kid on a tiny island in the English Channel, hitting marbles with a homemade club. He never had a formal golf lesson. Neither did Ted Ray, Tom Vardon, or any of the other boys from Grouville who would go on to reshape the sport.</p><p>In this episode, we tell the story of the Jersey School — not a school at all, but a group of working-class caddies at Royal Jersey Golf Club who taught themselves the game by watching, copying, and competing against each other on scraps of...

  Allan Robertson - Golf's First Pro and the Ball War That Changed Everything

  Mar 20, 202636 minS1

  <p>Allan Robertson was the first professional golfer, the best player of his era, and a ball maker whose family had been hand-stitching featheries for two hundred years.

That decision cost him his closest partnership, his apprentice Tom Morris, and kicked off the chain of events that created the Open Championship.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, we cover the rise and fall of the featherie golf ball, Robertson's dominance in challenge-match golf, his...
