We say it every week, but it's another massive show, starts off a little rough when Nick admits to forgetting to bring the wine. Flog behaviour.
But on a positive note, Nick and Mark - probably the entire golf world - are so pleased with Camilo Villegas win at the weekend. With what he's had to deal with on a personal level with his daughter's passing, it's a great result\, particularly with him now having the next 2-years locked in with starts.
But....Hong Kong. Oh. My. Gosh. What we saw in Hong Kong on the 16th hole at the weekend was insane, and Nick and Mark discuss at length what happened, how it could happen, and call our rules expert Stuart McPhee live on the pod to break it down for us. Mark puts Stuart on the spot to give us a Top 5 most broken golf rules later in the pod, and gives him 25-minutes to get it ready.
Finally the first glimpse of the LIV schedule, a small part of it anyway, with Adelaide being announced for April 2024. And there is no clashes with any local events, so good news all round. Speaking of LIV, Mark has a friend who spotted Greg Norman at Melbourne International Airport, so is curious as to whether that was to do with Adelaide, or something bigger. Nick talks us through the LIV trade structure for the off-season.
After the turn, Mark Allen has some advice for Jam TV on the weekend coverage, pertaining to the menu for the commentary team. He's a fan of Saturday food, less so of Sunday food. No doubt someone will get onto that.
Nick tells a great story about playing the World Matchplay against Dudley Hart where they both halved the 3rd hole at metropolitan with a triple bogey!
Voicemail comes in from Peter who has a question for Nick about playing left-handed vs right-handed. Nick and Mark kick it around, and chat about some great golfers who were left-handed, but played right-handed. Mark tells a story about two well-known golfers who started as lefties and changed to being righties.
Some great feedback this week. Lots of comments on the 1996 Australian Open card that we discussed on last weeks show. Nick tells a story about being partnered with The Shark in 1998 and how nervous he was, but not as nervous as his caddy !
Then we get the the PING Global Results, and Mark has a surprise for Nick....he has created an opener for the segment. It sets up the results nicely!
To the Top 5. Mark has enlisted Stuart McPhee to create a Top 5 of Golf's most broken rules. Stuart gives us a great list, a lot of fun.
Inspired by The Shark and Camilo Villegas, Mark Allens' masterclass this week is using your hips to give yourself space through impact.
