Ep130🏌🏿‍♂️'Missed the Cut' Stories; We Analyse Sepp Straka and Ryan Fox's Swings


Listen Later

Following the bonus pod this morning when Mark Allen broke the news of Rory McIlroy at Royal Melbourne Composite this year (so good!), for today's pod we park Rory, there's been plenty of chat about him, and there will be plenty of opportunities to discuss - but we have a full podcast today with some great stuff to chat about.


We start by talking about the Truist Championship in Philadelphia at the weekend and Sepp Straka getting a win. Mark has been on Sepp for the last few tournaments at Betr, was he on at the weekend?


Nick and Mark look at Sepps swing, which is stunning, and give their observations. Mark describes it as a 'touch of class'. We talk about other golf swings, and Ryan Fox's comes up given it is slightly unorthodox. We look at Ryan's from the back, and the side, and break it down. Mark asks Nick what advice he'd give Ryan on his swing, and we kick around whether we could get Ryan's coach Marcus Wheelhouse on for a chat....whilst we're talking Mark shoots a text through, we'll see what comes back.


We had a preview of the PGA Championship yesterday, but it's so close now that we kick it around a little more. Nick had one of his worst ever finishes at Quail Hollow, and tells the story. Nick and Mark each tell a story about some of their good 'made the cut' tournaments - Mark in Singapore and Nick in Mexico. And during the turn, Nick remembers a bad time he missed a cut, and tells us the story in the back 9...ouch.


Top 5 from Mark is on the best Australian Opens ever. Has he missed one? Let us know.


PING Global results from Nick, and Mark is keen to know if Sepp Straka can win this coming weekend. Nick says no, but says he expects Ryan Fox to play well as his game suits the course.


Another tournament on this week is the ISPS Handa Australian Blind Golf Open in Adelaide, and we have a chat with wolfpacker Mark Eschbank who is playing in the tournament and tells us all about it. What is it like to have low vision and play golf? Nick and Mark are keen to find out, and Mark talks us through it.


Feedback today is exclusively on the 'greatest shot ever made', and wolfpacker Chris has identified one that was criminally missed and may in fact qualify. We put it to Mark, and we look at the results of our poll.


Great masterclass from Nick today on fairway bunker shots. And before we wrap - Ryan Fox's coach Marcus Wheelhouse messages back, and he's in for a chat later this week.
