We always enjoy a bonus pod answering some of the questions that you send in. If you have a question or comment, leave it on our socials, email us, or leave a voicemail at our website at the link below.

Today on our bonus Q&A pod, firstly we hear from Joe the Greenkeeper from Aotearoa who asks a question about the Solheim Cup, and the Presidents Cup. Right in the boys wheelhouse Joe. Mark then raises an idea, an old one, about how to reset the Presidents Cup.

Next we hear from Marshall who commented about our post on under-rated Tour Pro's. Nick and Mark name some players they feel are under-rated, and Mark tells (another) great story about Craig Parry.

Alistair has a question about Matt Fitzpatrick and Rory McIlroy.

Then just before the turn, Mark 'food-shames' Dan for eating a small sausage roll, even though he is hoovering down a massive milkshake. Not sure how, but this then leads to a chat about Top Golf on the Gold Coast and in the US.

Next question. Dave has written in and asked about how courses get their Royal status, and how they keep it.

And we wrap up the pod with a ripper question from Chris about how Nick and Mark handled being out of form, and what they did to work through the slump.
