Mark played golf with a new partner at the weekend, and was surprised to see this bloke using a hybrid, he had three in fact, and was hitting well. Mark does not understand why more amateur golfers don’t use hybrids, Nick agrees. When will the manufacturers make a good set of hybrids for men?

Discussion on Jason Day’s great performance at the weekend. The boys both were excited by Jasons performance, and unsurprised at the win. Nick was impressed by Austin Eckroat at the weekend, in coming second to Jason. Mark has a story about Austin finding an old putter in his garage, and using it! Nick tells a story about a Wilson 8813 putter - Mark gets veeeeery excited.

Nick and Mark are both impressed with Jason Day’s golf barn at his house. Wowee, impressive. Check it out here on YouTube.

Adam Scott in some good form going into the PGA this week, the boys both excited to see how he performs. And it wouldn’t be an Adam Scott discussion without talking about how good his swing is.

Chat about the women’s PGA coming up next month, which leads to Nick posing the question why do they not play a women's major at Augusta? Both Nick and Mark want it to happen.

At the weekend, Mark lost a bet that Nick recommended he make. 50 bucks lighter in the skyrocket.

Mark raises the one concern he has with Cameron Smith’s game. Nick and Mark discuss.

Plenty of feedback this week, most of it about last weeks Top 5 golf movies of all time - who won the poll as to the best Top 5 ? We discuss and read out your feedback on the show. Leads to some homework for Nick who put Seven Days in Utopia on his list, but hasn’t seen it for years - Mark asks Nick to rewatch it, and give a review on next weeks show. So he'll be getting all Margaret Pomerance on us.

Nick takes us through some other results from the weekend, some solid Aussie performances including Cameron Smith finishing second in the LIV tournament. 

Top 5 this week, Mark lists the Top 5 ‘lost their game, and found form again’ players. It’s a ripper. And a great masterclass on this weeks pod from Nick on pre-shot routines, why players do it, why it’s important, and how you can do it.
