After last weeks debacle when Mark broke our equipment resulting in the scrapping of half of the main show, let's see if we can get through this weeks without him destroying anything. No guarantees.
But it is a fun show!
01:00\t\tWe loved the Walker Cup, not only for the golf but for the course. Stunning. How good is Lahinch!
02:00\t\tWhich raises the issues of Walker Cup venues, Nick runs through the list....incredible.
03:00\t\tMark asks why aren't Australian amateur tournaments at some of our great courses, and while they're at it, why aren't they matchplay?
06:00\t\tWe look at the great bunker shot from amateur Josh Hill in the Walker Cup, at a critical moment.
07:00\t\tBig chat.....Pros getting their amateur status back, and playing amateur tournaments. Nick and Mark are, with certain exceptions, not fans.They explain why, and give some examples.
12:00\t\tNick explains why he turned down the opportunity to play in a tournament of this nature when he returned to Australia.
13:00\t\tMark says it is ridiculous to have Pros playing pennant.
15:00\t\tFor Hostplus, this weeks plus for golf is as 12-year old 'Beat the Pro' entrant in Switzerland! And Nick and Mark discuss the famous Seve 'over the wall' shot at the same venue.
18:00\t\tA LIV update on the 'White Knight' investor, and we discuss the debt for equity approach that appears to be being taken.
26:00\t\tBMW Touch of Class, we go back to Switzerland for the DP World Tour and the runner up in the tournament Paul Casey is our winner this week.
29:00\t\tNick raises the issue of clubs, and holes, being shutdown by local councils. Royal Park in Melbourne and Rottnest Island being two recent examples - along with Moore Park in Sydney.
After the turn:
32:00\t\tMore on Amateur Tournaments at great courses.
34:00\t\tNicks Top 5 for Betr, the Top 5 Golf Courses where he believes the Australian Amateur Tournament should be played.
38:00\t\tMark asks Nick where, if were able to be ranked, Royal Melbourne Composite would rank in the world.
39:00\t\tFeedback. After Marks appalling behaviour last week, we start with a wolfpacker complaining about the end result, ie: a shortened podcast. Mark apologises, and not before time.
41:00\t\tLast week we discussed Scottie Schefflers swing, lots of feedback on that, plenty of opinions.
42:00\t\tWe have a listen to Trevor Immelmann analysing Scotties' swing vs Ryan Gerards'.
43:00\t\tA wolfpacker asks...how much of Scotties' success is due to being an American, based in the US, and largely playing close to home. We discuss if he was from Sydney for example, would he have had the success that he has had?
46:00\t\tMickey Wrights swing...very nice.
47:00\t\tMark shows Nick and Dan a photo of weeds on a neighbour's nature strip. We wish we were joking. Sadly not.
48:00\t\tChat about golf technology
50:00\t\tNick and Mark are off to Wagga this week, we reminisce about Nicks Ace from a couple of years ago in Wagga!
51:00\t\tMore on weeds, but this time 'golf weeds' not actual weeds.
53:00\t\tNick found some putting stats from the last 20-years....what do they show?
54:00\t\tFeedback on English golfer Harry Hall's hat.
55:00\t\tNick runs through a short version of the global hightlights
57:00\t\tMark shows off his Fathers Day present....a new shag bag!
59:00\t\tAnd the Masterclass today for the Golf Clearance Outlet is on the benefits of the forward press.
A big show, and we made it through without Mark destroying anything !
