Talk Birdie To Me

Ep143: The Course Nick Says Had the 'Best Greens in Queensland', and the Top 5 (or 4) Hardest First Holes in Australia


Listen Later

A feedback pod today, lots of great comments and questions, and plenty of fun.


We start with Tim from Sydney who has sent in two pics for us, one of a number plate on a car at Royal Sydney relevant to the podcast, and one of him and his Dad which is a ripper. How good are Father/Son days at golf clubs, or Mum/Daughters, or Parent/Child...so good. Tim also has a question on how pros select tournaments to play in, and Nick explains the ones he never missed and why.


Mark from Royal Mt Isa messaged us about their Open Championship which is on as we speak. Nick recalls playing Mt Isa on the Troppo tour and said it had the best greens in Queensland. He remembers watching Kieren Perkins win gold in the Olympics whilst in Mt Isa, Mark recalls where he watched it - at Auckland Airport after missing a cut!


Question from Matt on being relaxed in practise, but tensing up in competition....how to deal with it.


Steven has a question about Marks bunker play ranking.


A comment from Adam on Kiwi tour pro Ryan Fox.


Jake has a question about shotgun starts and whether they disadvantage some players based on starting with an easier, or harder, hole. Leads to a chat about the Top 5 most difficult first holes in Australia, Nick and Mark come up with 4 and they need your help with the fifth.....250 bucks to spend at Golf Clearance Outlet for the best suggestion. Let us know on socials, or email.


Dave has a question on Aaron Baddeley


David saw something on Apple TV's Stick and pointed it out for us.


We have an email from Valerie with a funny video, turns out Valerie is not only a wolfpacker but veeeery close to someone on the podcast.


And Brad messaged us from the mighty Red Cliffs Golf Club in Mildura, pumping up the team, the vibe and the course there.
