Talk Birdie To Me

Ep27: The Matilda's, The Yips, Butt Sweat, & Shorts on the Golf Course


Listen Later

Ironically for a golf show, we start off today with the Matildas and the Women's World Cup, it's all everyone is talking about and Nick and Mark have been enthralled watching it! Leads to a chat about how well the women handled their nerves in the penalty shootout and how Nick and Mark dealt with nerves in clutch moments on the golf course.


Mark was at a function last week at St Michaels in Sydney, where they played 16 holes and he loved it. He reckons corporate golf days should all run with gimmes to help the pace.


Mark and Nick both watched Tommy Fleetwood at the weekend, and Mark was impressed with something that he saw Tommy doing. Onto Memphis; should the Fedex Cup Championship players should have been given an option to wear shorts, given the heat? And Nick and Mark discuss if shorts should be an option more broadly in hot weather. The discussion then turns to the butt-sweat situation we saw from Lucas Glover. Nick gives an early masterclass on how to avoid butt sweat. After chatting about Lucas Glover possibly anchoring last week, Mark reckons someone has had a word to him as he wasn’t doing it this past weekend. Nick talks about how Lucas’ recent form is fantastic.


Mark talks about one of the worst yips he has ever seen. See the video here.


Nick was impressed with Cameron Davis at the weekend, who moves into the Top 50 and into all next years signature events.


LIV was exciting at the weekend! Team Ripper finally got a win, led by Cam Smith who had a ripping weekend. Nick mentions something about the LIV coverage that frustrates him, and the boys discuss a theory as to why it happens.


Gabi Ruffles on the Epsom Tour, wow! Nick and Mark love everything about her and she is killing it. 3 wins in 12 starts. Incredible. Mark raves about the Walton Heath course and how great it looked, and reckons the women are playing on the most stunning courses at the moment. 


Nick and mark discuss the importance of a pre-shot routine after watching Charley Hull who doesn’t seem to have a consistent routine.


Min Woo Lee has confirmed for the Aust Open, and Nick is excited. The boys list the other players they now want to sign on.


Lots of feedback, a couple of questions and a couple of pieces of, shall we say, constructive criticism. Always fun, keep it coming, we love to hear from you and your comments and questions. We chat to Evan from Yarrawonga who has some new info about the great man Jarrod Lyle.


Nick runs through some results from around the world, particularly some of the notable Aussie performances. And the guys have an idea for a future Top 5 on short backswings, and discuss Stuart Appleby’s haircut.


A great Top 5 today, requested by Chris Payne - the Top 5 recovery shots of all time. And a ripping masterclass from Nick on toe down chip shots, video here.
