They also talk about the process of beginning a PhD and the challenges of conducting research during the pandemic.Lauren Beatty is a second year Collaborative Doctorate Partnership PhD student, based in Scotland, working in collaboration with Glasgow Cale-donian University and the British Golf Museum.
