  • Suggestion

    Lawrence will block you for suggesting to keep American politics out of the golf podcast. Ruins the great golf discussion.

  • Used to be a good pod…

    I really liked this pod at the start. Since geoff joined as co-host it has become unlistenable to me now and this final episode was the last time i’ll listen.

    He has to be the most negative person i have ever heard talk about anything and just finds a way to moan about everything and anything.

    A shame as it started as an interesting pod.

  • Suggestion

    Love the golf content, but keep your opinions on US politics out. Annika really needs a drive by 18 months later for receiving an award from Trump on 1/7/22? Stick to golf. Lawrence will block you for this suggestion

  • Not great

    If you listen to No laying Up, or The Shotgun Start, or even The Smylie show, this podcast is very lacklustre in comparison when it comes to genuine knowledge. The Olympics episode (the last one) is fraught with guesswork and inaccuracies. Added to that, they release episodes in a haphazard fashion with zero consistency, and will always add a smidgen of arrogance/ignorance into their style.
