So this weekend we're checking in with wolfpacker Steve in his quest to get under a 5-handicap, we'll get to that shortly. Firstly though, a couple of comments and questions.

Wayne asks whether Nick and Mark would have benefited from a TPI swing analysis in their pro days, and he has an idea for the Australian Masters involving LIV and the DPWT. Whilst on LIV, Jake is curious as to why the flow of big name signings is not what it was, and have they changed their approach to now sign younger players.

The TPI question leads to a good chat on the perils of chaining your technique as a Tour Pro and why it is a huge financial risk.

Then onto Steve. He has sent in some chipping and putting videos, whilst they're clearly visual, the commentary and advice around them from Nick and Mark is easy to understand and take in. Worth a listen. Steve, you may recall from his appearance on the podcast a month or so ago, is trying to get his handicap down from a 7.1 to under 5 in order to play the Victorian Senior Amateur in 2026 to honour a mate who has cancer and is unable to himself. Fantastic to check in with Steve and get an update on his progress.
