Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Are You Playing Par 5s All Wrong? + Winter Golf Goals | Iona Stephen & Dan Walker
Q: What's the best Par 5 strategy for those of us trying to break 90 or stay under 90? On my last round, I was six over for the round, but 10 over for the Par 5s.
Iona Stephen recommends aiming for par, choosing a route that reaches the green in regulation with three shots, and avoiding overly aggressive attempts. Dan Walker adds that higher-handicap players can treat some par 5s as par 6s and play to their handicap.
How Would You Change Golf? Ryder Cup, Mixed Golf & Room 101 | Listener Q&A with Iona Stephen & Dan Walker
Q: How can we make a mixed men's and women's match play comp work in the mainstream?
Stephen suggests making the President's Cup a mixed event using a format like the Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup. She notes that scheduling and course setup would be challenges, but says mixed events can give women's golf valuable attention. Walker points to the planned mixed event at the Los Angeles Olympics as a promising example.
How Would You Change Golf? Ryder Cup, Mixed Golf & Room 101 | Listener Q&A with Iona Stephen & Dan Walker
Q: How good would the Ryder Cup be as a three-way between US-Europe and the International Team?
Stephen and Walker oppose changing the Ryder Cup, saying its two-team format creates its distinctive tension and a third team could weaken that dynamic. They suggest an International Team competition could instead be created separately.
How Do I Get Better at Golf? | Listener Q&A with Iona Stephen & Dan Walker
Q: What is it really like to interview the biggest names in the game?
Dan describes interviewing stars as an exciting privilege, often requiring brief, focused conversations. Iona says preparation and rapport help players relax, while interviews during competition demand efficiency and sensitivity to how a player has performed.
How Do I Get Better at Golf? | Listener Q&A with Iona Stephen & Dan Walker
Q: What is the main piece of advice for someone looking to get down from a 15 to a 10 handicap?
Iona and Dan recommend sound course management, keeping the ball in play and reducing double bogeys. They also advise identifying weaknesses with performance statistics, practicing those areas and improving putting.
