Imagine spending a record 135 weeks as the number one female amateur golfer in the world but not being able to visit the clubhouse where you're playing because of your gender. Leona Maguire has experienced this first hand.

Like many other sports, golf is working to address the gender imbalance. However, they still have a long way to go.

Dermot & Dave were joined by Cavan native Leona, who is currently in the States on a break from her first ever professional golf tour.

It's a staple in bookshops at the end of every year, and most people in the world want to be in it in some way. But did you know the amazing origin story of the Guinness Book of World Records.

It all came from a row over birds with a man named Beaver.

In Dave's World on TodayFM, Dave brought us all of the info.

We may not be able to hop on a flight and enjoy all the world has to offer, but there's so much to explore on this island and the Government have launched a scheme to encourage you to stay home, spend locally and save yourself money.

The Stay and Spend Scheme has kicked off and will run until April of 2021 and will allow those going on holidays at home to avail of taxbreaks on money they spend on food and hotel stays.

But how does it work? And will it work at all? Sarah Slattery is a travel journalist and runs website TheTravelExpert, she joined Dermot and Dave to explain how the whole process works and when you'll see the difference in your pocket.

At this moment, Gary and Louise Ryan should be packing hospital bags and preparing a buggy for the arrival of their third child, a happy occasion during such an uncertain and scary time. However, earlier this year, Gary and Louise found that tragically their Baby Grace had developed a rare condition and would not survive outside of the womb.

On the 20th of June, Grace was born sleeping.

To mark what would have been Grace's due date, the Ryan family hope to donate a ventilator to the Coombe Hospital to thank them for their endless support.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Gary and Louise told Grace's story and how they will be getting on their bikes and out on the streets to raise money on behalf of their little girl.

It's the reality TV show we all need, what happens when astronauts living millions of miles away from Earth need somewhere to crash and have to move in with the gang across the hall?

There's no cameras but that is what is happening on the International Space Station at the moment where the US astronauts have had to bunk in with their Russian counterparts.

It's all because of a small air leak, and clearly they don't have an inanimate carbon rod to hand to fix it.

Space journalist Leo Enright explained to Dermot and Dave what's going on, and how they might look to fix it.

It's rare that sandwiches end up being discussed in the courtroom, unless it's about lunch, but this week The Supreme Court made a very interesting decision in relation to the bread used in the famous Subway sandwiches.

And it all comes down to VAT.

Galway-based Bookfinders Ltd, a Subway franchisee, argued that it was not liable for VAT on some of its products including their famous sandwiches.

The argument stemmed from a definition of bread as a stable food which ensures its zero-VAT status. However, the court has ruled that because the bread used in the sandwiches has a sugar content of over 10% of the weight of the flour included in the dough, this would not be the case.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, nutritionist Elsa Jones said she was 'surprised' to hear that the bread had such a high sugar content and revealed some other food that might be considered to have 'secret' sugar.
