A Talk Birdie To Me feedback pod today, and we start with a voicemail from Rob in Ryde, Sydney, who has a rules question about matchplay and having too many clubs in your bag. Nick and Mark think they know the answer, but we decide to get our rules expert Stu McPhee on the show to confirm....lucky we did, because we were incorrect! Whilst we have Stu, Nick clarifies a comment about changing balls that Mark made a couple of weeks ago.

Then we have a video message from wolfpacker Rion from Saudi Arabia, who is calling with a shoutout, and a very cool one at that!

Andrew has written in asking whether Nick and Mark feel Rory is a chance to win all 4 majors this year. Damian wants to know why Tour Pro's sometimes say, or commentators do, that they change their plans of how to play on the morning of a tournament after they've been on the range.

Michael from Los Angeles has written in about the conversation on club fees, and has some staggering figures on a particular Californian golf club.

A Top 5 suggestion for Nick from Ross in Mackay, which leads to a chat about some of Nick and Marks favourite clubhouses around the world. Tom suffers from foot pain, and recalls a chat a few pods ago about a pro who had the same thing - wants some info. And Stefan from South Australia has been playing for a year or so - already down to 20 mind you - and is after some advice of how to play different kinds of fairways.

A fun feedback pod today!
