Talk Birdie To Me

Ep69: Mark 'The Most Important Player in Golf Right Now', Nick Talks Isleworth. And Pros who had 'Super Slumps'


Listen Later

Another fun show today, we start with a chat about the LPGA tournament at Sahalee in Washington at the weekend, fantastic win for Amy Yang - she has waited a long time for this and it was wonderful to see. Tough final couple of holes, but she got there! And Nick O'Hern claims Amy as an honorary Aussie, find out why on the pod.


Mark loved the tournament, but hated one thing about it. And it had to with nature. Speaking of nature, we talk about the protestors at The Travellers event in Connecticut. Didn't slow Scheffler down though who went on to win in a playoff. He's on fire.


Nick and Mark discuss the rumours that there is an Australian Open announcement coming this week sometime. Might just be rumours, but there seems to be movement at Australian Golf Headquarters. Fingers crossed!


Mark gives us a fun Top 5 today, unless you're a player listed. It's the Top 5 'slumps' in professional golf. His number one is a current golfer on the pro tour.


Plenty of feedback this week, including a whack from a pod listener who says Nick and Mark are 'out of touch'. Ouch. Why? We discuss on the pod, and would your feedback on the specific reason why the boys have been whacked. And in fact we've got plenty of feedback we couldn't get to, so we'll do another bonus Q&A pod later in the week with a few more of your questions for the boys - keep them coming.


Fantastic PING global results this week from Nick, lots of action all over the world, and he runs through some of the key results. And then we have a voicemail question from Chris for Nick about one of the holes in Isleworth, Florida, where Nick lived for 13-years as a pro.


A great Masterclass from Nick thanks to the team at the watchMynumbers app - this week inspired by the winner of the LPGA tournament at the weekend, Amy Yang, about the rhythm in her swing, which Nick says is very impressive.


And we're working on a bonus pod this week with super coach Jonathon Yarwood from the US. Aiming for friday. He's a gun and we're looking forward to a good chat with him if the timing works.
