Talk Birdie To Me

Ep179: Nick O'Hern: "He Has No Clue What He's Talking About', and the 'Magic' of the St Andrews Old Course.


Listen Later

A feedback pod today and we start by looking at a tweet from golf stats guy Lou Stagner that a wolfpacker sent in, both Nick and Mark enjoy Lou's insights usually, but this time he has made a comment that they both vehemently disagree with regarding the St Andrews Old Course.


We discuss the Old Course and why it is special.


Mark brings up the 1984 Open Championship, famous for Seve, but tells the story of what happened to Ian Baker-Finch on the last shot of the day as a result of the sprinkler the night before.


Speaking of IBF, Paul has written in with a suggestion for Australian golf coverage. Ken replies to wolfpacker Martins comments last weeks about The Players being a possible major, and Ken pretty much gives everyone a whack - Nick, Mark, Golf Australia.


Ross has a question about Tour Pro's moving back to amateur status, and Nick and Mark talk through why they would never do it.


A question from lefty Matt on his concerns about being fitted for new clubs.


David reckons Nick and Mark are being too kind to LIV Golf and believes it is a failure. We discuss some of the players currently re-signing with LIV.


Scott has an idea regarding the Australian Masters, and it reminds us that we've not reviewed Royal Sydney yet - if you've played it, we'd love your thoughts.


And we finish on a comment from Paul about returning to golf after some tideway, and the difference hybrids have made for him.
