  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Friday Feedback: Mark 'When Gary Player was Rude to Me', Spot Lining, The Yips, and Aaron Baddeley News!
Q: What should a golfer do after trying many approaches to overcome the yips?
Nick asks the listener to send videos of their putting stroke from behind and from the side so they can assess whether a technical issue may be contributing.
Friday Feedback: Mark 'When Gary Player was Rude to Me', Spot Lining, The Yips, and Aaron Baddeley News!
Q: What or how would you define as your dominant hand and how would you make that choice?
Nick suggests rolling a ball toward the hole with each hand, like a lawn bowls delivery, and trying the putting stance that feels most natural.
Monday Mini: When Caddies made a difference. And why Stevie Williams said 'No Tiger No!' before one shot.
Q: Can you recall any times where a caddie had a material influence on a shot, and the result, and who would be your top five famous caddies?
They share stories of caddies influencing club and shot decisions, managing pressure, and helping players recover mentally, then name several famous caddies including Stevie Williams, Fluff, Bones, Fanny Sunesson and Big Herman.
Friday Feedback: Adam Scott, Anthony Kim, Shaft Weights, and 'Were you beaten by a Tour Pro when they were a kid?'
Q: How do players like Jeeno Thitikul and AK choke down two to three inches and not have the toe dig in at impact?
Nick explains that gripping down effectively makes the club flatter and can help counter a shot going left for a right-handed golfer. He says toe contact is less likely on a half shot, while a heel-first strike is the more problematic contact.
Friday Feedback: Adam Scott, Anthony Kim, Shaft Weights, and 'Were you beaten by a Tour Pro when they were a kid?'
Q: I'm wondering if you have any thoughts on shaft weight and how that can impact your game.
The hosts say shaft weight can affect comfort and confidence. Nick prefers lighter shafts, while Mark likes lighter shafts in longer clubs and heavier-feeling wedges, and recommends a shaft system that gradually reduces weight toward the driver.
