  • Masterclass feedback

    Hi guys, Love the podcast, really enjoy listening to both Mark and Nick’s opinions on golf both past and present! I’m a golf professional myself and played full time on the Australasian Tour for about 5 years until an accident cut my playing career short. I took inspiration from a young Nick O’Hern carrying his green carry bag around NSW Golf Club in a professional tournament. I was about 15 at the time and I still wish to this day that I had of asked you whether I could have caddied for you tha... more

  • Talk Ads to me

    Ping, Footjoy, BMW, Host Plus, BetR, Callaway, Titlest. I get you need revenue but on top of the incessant ad reads slipping more into product placement into the conversation as content makes the show unlistenable. I want to like it but you guys show disdain for the listeners with excessive shilling.

  • Nick is great, Mark is hopeless

    Unfortunately one of the hosts has no credibility, having been a failed touring pro. Nick though is great, and has credibility, although he always looks uncomfortable when Mark keeps touching him.

Marsh recalls a turning point at Gosnells Golf Club where he won a club championship, followed by the realization that a professional path would require moving beyond local clubs and seeking opportunities overseas to develop his game.
