  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Monday Mini: We build the Perfect Prototype Golfer, Using 5 Categories and the Best Player from each
Q: Hi, guys. If you break down the game into five components, driving, iron play, short game, putting, and mental toughness, which players have the best attributes in those specific categories?
They discuss Aussie and international picks for each category, highlighting standout drivers, iron players, short-game specialists, putters, and mental strategists, then debate how to balance the teams with both domestic and international legends.
Monday Mini: Nick O'Hern - 'Three things I had to fix in my Golf Game when I turned Pro'.
Q: When did you feel you could hang with the top pros you were competing against?
They describe gradual confidence building as they started performing well in big events and seeing their names on leaderboards, marking a turning point in believing in their ability to compete with the best.
