  • Criminal audio quality

    ‘Audio from the Bronze Age’

    The best Golf minds in the southern hemisphere come together for the most critical and educational analysis of the beautiful game, this content is handsdown perfection. I followed Blakey pre-Covid and admired his clear and concise explanation of the rules. I persisted for the last three years listening to this podcast but have been driven away by the poor quality of his audio recordings. I celebrated their 100th podcast and was happy for their success in the golfing ... more

  • Love it, and…

    Thanks for taking out the “club swoosh” sound. Listening through earbuds or headphones it used to slice right through my head, it was so much louder than the rest of the audio.

    I really enjoy the show and didn’t want to have to unsubscribe but as a migraine sufferer it was really impacting my listening. So much nicer now… Thanks…

  • Love it, but…

    Please please please turn down the “club swoosh” sound. Listening through earbuds or headphones it slices right through my head, it’s way louder than the rest of the audio.

    I really enjoy the show and don’t want to have to unsubscribe but as a migraine sufferer it’s really impacting my listening. Thanks…

  • The best conversational golf rules podcast there is!

    Congrats Blakey and Stuey on 100 episodes! As a born again beginner I’ve found the GRQP very educational (with lots of laughs along the way). I’ve learnt so much about the rules that I now play with more confidence and have become the knowledge bank my group often looks to for rulings. Each podcast gives me an opportunity to consider a new situation and test my knowledge and build on it further (practice makes me better … like golf, I know I’ll never be perfect!). Looking forward to the next 100... more

  • GRQ is the greatest!

    Education, humor, listener involvement, charm & Ivar’s...they’ve got the lot! I’ve learnt so much and continue to do so. They explain and deliver the rules of golf with such logic that for a non regular golfer it makes learning the intricate & vast rules of golf so easy to understand.

    David & Rosco are made for podcast’s, really brilliant stuff guys - keep it up!
