Alright Par Pals 👋
A sponsor-free, brought-to-you-by-YOU email corner this week, and it's a good one. We debate whether there's ever a circumstance where it's genuinely okay to be a bandit (Liam from Germany might just have found it), and marvel at the world's longest seven wood, a 250 yard freak shot across a cobblestone bridge that started a full-blown junior vs grumpy members war. 😤
We also get into the tragedy of the hole-in-one nobody can ever know about (anonymous snuck off work, and it might just be the darkest golf fear of all), our favourite non-instruction golf books, and an ongoing existential crisis about whether we've read these emails before.
Plus, the Egypt work trip is happening in November and it turns out some of you are actually coming.
The Link is here if you fancy it. (15th -19th Nov we'll be there) 🐪⛳ - https://www.golfbreaks.com/en-gb/holidays/cairo/hilton-pyramids-golf-resort/packages/7dc84fcf-8016-4e82-8207-cb000d42ddf0/

Big topics this week.
We're on a mission to convince you that a 300 yard drive is worthless because a good SCORE is the only thing that actually sticks with you.
We also finally get to the bottom of artisan golf , make the case for a proper UK & Ireland links swing after Birkdale, and TG tells the story of the mate who asked for advice and then flatly refused to take it.
Also with our friends at England Golf, Ben serves up a genuinely tragic Toast or Roast.
All this and more coming up on this week’s episode of Golf Is Ruining My Life.
See you Thursday!

WE'RE BACK with a new episode of Talk Birdie To Me
This week we're joined by broadcaster and proud Scotsman, Gordon Smart. 30 minutes of chat about learning to grip a club with his grandad, the perfect golf handicap (spoiler: he agrees with us) and quite possibly the most horrendous first tee experience ever told on this show, hungover at Sunningdale, following Geoff Hurst, Jimmy Tarbuck and Lee Sharpe. 😳
We also hear how golf got him through losing his voice and his job in lockdown, playing the Old Course in reverse (something Tiger's never done), his run-in with Sean Connery at a urinal 🍺 and his DREAM four ball. 👀

TG is in a full non-golfing slump (moving house means the beloved shed studio is being retired 😢) but that won't stop us solving one of golf's great debates once and for all: what is the PERFECT golf handicap?
We also get into why being fitted by someone who ISN'T incentivised to upsell you is a total game-changer, and how long it takes for the hope to reignite after a truly disastrous round
It's also the FINAL email corner before we pick our winner for Egypt 🐪, and we finish on possibly the greatest holiday golf email ever.
Thanks to our friends at GolfBreaks for hooking us up with an amazing prize, remember the best email of the summer will be joining us for 4 nights at Hilton Pyramids Golf Resort, In Egypt with 3 rounds of golf (1x Dreamland GC, 1x The Allegria GC, 1x New Giza GC).

Buckle up, because this week TG tells a story so scandalous it could get us sued. For legal reasons, none of it happened to anyone we know it happened to a man called Tommy Greenfield, from Ireland, who mows fields until 1pm. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is entirely coincidental.
We also get into the shyness of the new golfer, the various times we've had to walk off a course early (Celtic Manor, RIP), and TP relives his club championship meltdown.
We’ve also got another Toast or Roast with our friends at England Golf, where Jack takes us through possibly the most heartbreaking scorecard in podcast history.
All this and more coming up on this week’s episode of Golf Is Ruining My Life.
See you Thursday!

TP has turned up sporting a full facial midlife crisis. His hairdresser left the moustache on, his wife hasn't replied to the text and we can't stop talking about it. Genuinely one for the Spotify/YouTube crowd this week. 🥸
We also get deep into arm Johnnies (UV protection, very sexy), the correct sock length for golf shorts (a masterclass, honestly) and the ongoing dream of a GIRML golf day with Stella on draft.
In the email corner with our friends at Golf Breaks we've got possibly the most X-rated email we've ever received 😳
Only ONE more email corner left before we pick our winner for Egypt. Get them in. ⛳

Ryan Fox has only gone and won the 154th Open at 200-1 odds. Nobody saw it coming, and honestly, we love it he looks like one of us, he plays like one of us and he's now drinking wine out of the Claret Jug. Absolutely brilliant. 🏆
We also talk Tommy Fleetwood's three bogeys in a row that cost him his home Open (genuinely heartbreaking), Bryson exiting without speaking to the press, and how the online mood has swung on the whole Rory situation.
Plus we rank all four major winners of 2026 and reflect on the fact that we now have EIGHT MONTHS with no major golf. Grim. 😩
Thanks to our pals at Golf Now for having us at Birkdale, yes, that raucous hospitality by the 15th green was us. 🍻⛳

We're back after a very heavy comedown from Thursday's high at Birkdale (and after accidentally announcing a sponsorship deal with Netjets that... definitely wasn't a sponsorship deal 🛩️). Turns out you can't just say something on a podcast and make it true.
Today it's ALL about Bryson. Did he stamp it down? Did he mean it? Is Rory right? Faldo's gone in on him for having no strategy, despite Bryson beating his best ever round at Birkdale. We pick a side, make our predictions for the final day and TP has a hot take on how to solve slow play in the pro game forever. ⛳
Plus email corner with our friends at Golf Breaks, including the etiquette of playing through and possibly the greatest job interview idea we've ever heard, conducting it over 18 holes. 🏌️

WE'RE BACK with a new episode of the Talk Birdie To Me Series and this week we're joined by comedian, Taskmaster creator and Bad Golf legend, Alex Horne. 30 minutes of chat about why he has ZERO interest in getting better at golf, his theory that winning is actually embarrassing, and the day he played a pro-am with Adam Scott, Michael McIntyre and Clare Balding. 😅
We also find out about his gloriously chaotic golf bag, why he's made peace with a handicap that never moves and his DREAM four ball. 👀

We simply cannot believe it… today’s episode is coming to you LIVE (ish) from a Thursday at a MAJOR. We will be brining you all the action from day one of the 154th Open at Royal Birkdale. AND by all the action we mean following Max Homa relentlessly… it got a bit weird!
We have to say a massive thank you to GolfNow for inviting us down and hosting us for the day. MUCH more to come between us and them in 2027. ALSO a massive thank you to our news best mates at NetJets (lols)
Also, screw the guys at Cookie Jar Golf for pranking us.
Enjoy the episode and enjoy the final major or 2026.
