  • 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

    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Monday Mini: 'Help, I'm consistently a Slow Starter in Comps....How do I fix it?'
Q: What tips do you have for a slow starter?
The hosts recommend warming up in a way that creates game mode before the first tee, use mental cues and targeted pre-shot routines, and consider reversing the warm-up order to include putting and short game first, then progressively work into full-range practice.
Monday Mini: How to Flight your Wedges Lower
Q: How to flight my wedges lower?
Shorten the backswing gradually and land the ball at a shorter distance than your stock shot; this reduces loft at impact and lowers the ball flight. Also, align backswing length with follow-through to keep swing speed controlled and ensure lower trajectories.
Bonus Mini: Help Needed!!! How is your Club Championship Structured? A Wolfpacker needs ideas for their club.
Q: How would you do it, Nick, off the top of your skone there?
The idea is to have 18-hole qualifying, then top two advance to a match-play final; or a variant with top four and two nine-hole matches, adapting to the club's player base and scheduling constraints.
Bonus Mini: Help Needed!!! How is your Club Championship Structured? A Wolfpacker needs ideas for their club.
Q: So again, is Saturday the only day typically your group has tee times and the availability?
Yes, Saturday mornings are the main window with 40 spots, but it's crowded by other clubs and public play, which makes scheduling tight and motivates looking at alternative formats.
Monday Mini: Managing Mental and Physical Fatigue as a Tour Pro (and even as a Social Golfer)
Q: How do you manage fatigue when you're on tour, and what strategies did you use to stay motivated mid-season?
Hosts share that fatigue is both mental and physical; strategies include maintaining a routine, staying physically active (Golf Fit), taking mid-season breaks of several weeks, and reconnecting with friends at the club to keep motivation high.
