(Hint: He hasn't).</p><p><br></p><p>We discuss Anthony Quayle's very unfortunate 7-shot penalty at the Vic PGA from the weekend, and Nick explains how it happened. Nick and Mark discuss players who copped penalties and still won. </p><p><br></p><p>Nick brings up one of the best 'even par' performances he's ever seen from the weekend, and Mark tells a story about Peter Thomson and how he had prepared Kingston Heath years ago to have even par as the winning score, but the weather had other ideas.</p><p><br></p><p>We had a voicemail yesterday from Mark in Hawthorn with a question about national opens and their importance. Marko heard it, and rates the idea, we discuss.</p><p><br></p><p>Exciting news this week with Karrie Webb being announced as an Honorary Member of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews. A wonderful accolade and well deserved, however Mark has noticed an oversight in Australia regarding Karrie's recognition which he brings up.</p><p><br></p><p>The hotline rings and it's Warren who has a 13-year old young bloke who loves golf, and he'd like to arrange lessons, but is after some advice on how to start.</p><p><br></p><p>Mark's Top 5 this week is on the Top 5 duffed chips, some very funny stories, and we'd like to hear about any chili dip zones at your club - let us know on socials.</p><p><br></p><p>Nick's PING global results this week are big, plenty to run through, and Nick has a Q School TV idea which is very good! </p><p><br></p><p>We discuss the new Trackman centre at Southern Golf Club in Melbourne which is sensational, and opened a fortnight ago. Lots of feedback, heavily weighted again on the format of the Australian Open, and then we call pod listener Lorraine who has a question for Mark about his book, 74,582 tips to simplify golf, and we chat to Lorraine and her Dad Ron who is still playing golf at 93 !!!</p><p><br></p><p>Nick's masterclass this week is on Scheffler's new putting grip which he is experimenting with.</p><p><br></p><ul><li>PING will help you play your best, like they have for Nick O'Hern.
