Description

In this third and final instalment of podcasts about the life of James Braid, we finish up at Walton Heath talking about his life as the club's professional, a position he held for nearly 50 years. 
 
Braid took up the role in 1904 when the club was only just starting off, and continued in post until his death in 1950. We couldn't think of anyone better than Philip Truett to help us bring this season to a close; A lifelong member of Walton Heath and one of the most passionate historians in the game, Philip has spent countless hours in not just researching Braid's involvement at the club but also in helping to preserve his legacy which can be seen in the James Braid showroom, only a short chip from where we recorded this podcast. .
