Nice.</p><p><br></p><p>Today, Nick and Mark are discussing an issue that consistently comes up, raised by wolfpacker Stockers, on the 'tyranny of distance' and the challenge of the 'big boys' hitting the ball longer all the time. Stockers has a couple of suggestions on this, and on bunkers and how they are treated. It's a ripper point and he has a couple of interesting ideas....but do Nick and Mark agree with them?</p><p><br></p><p>We discuss Stockers ideas, issues with drivers, bunker treatments, and the old 'bifurcation' conversation. Nick and Mark agree, partly, on how bifurcation should be handled with one significant differing view.</p><p><br></p><p>Nick has an idea about a tournament he would love to see come to fruition. He says it never will, but he'd love it. And we wrap the show with some footage of Mark and his buggy casually strolling around the Box Hill Golf Club, filmed from the 4th hole green by Dan, whose house backs onto Box Hill Golf Club. If you're listening to the pod you won't see it, but you can picture Mark, putter in hand, strolling along looking very pleased with himself.</p><p><br></p><p>A fun Monday Mini today on Talk Birdie !</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Nick O'Hern & Mark Allen | Kaizen Media"}
