  • Drop Huggan

    This podcast would be infinitely better without the dinosaur John Huggan. A constant reference to the poor quality of golf in the “amateur game” and a necessity to often bemoan the modern golf ball. For an Aussie podcast, TTAGP would do well to drop him. Aside from him, it’s superb.
