After a stunning week for golf content Martin & Des go into the studio to analyse all that has occurred. Joining them is Martin's son Mark (a sports nut but only a casual golf fan) as a temporary replacement for young Mike and to ensure that the younger demographic is heard. Bernard Langer wins again, John Rahm wins again and Lydia Ko wins again proving the insane consistency that these three produce. Tiger plays all four days at Riviera and Netflix drop their behind the scenes of the PGA Tour series "Full Swing". Is it any good? Has it been overhyped? Plenty to discuss and debate.

Lots happening in the world of golf but nothing more important than the news that Tiger is playing a tournament this coming weekend! However, plenty of other things to talk about before then including Scottie winning in Phoenix and getting back to world no1, the mad crowd at Scottsdale and the leaderboard for the first elevated event. Plus, we take our podcast kit out on location as we seek to find the best driver for a 63 year old, 9 handicap player with a tendency to fade the ball.

Deserted by his usual co-hosts, Martin drafts in Pat and his son Paul to discuss the events in Dubai. Rory's resolve to win, Patrick's determination not to lose and stateside John Rahm's mini collapse. Paul brings us his top ten courses played and his top 5 bucket list options, always a good way to get golfers talking. A quick run around the twittersphere rounds out the episode with some topical talking points. Interact with the podcast via our twitter link @ITFOG_podcast

Martin and Des discuss the stellar start to the year by John Rahm, the outcome at Yas Links (a course the boys played in 2019) and some memories of their visit to the Emirates Club in 2008. Following Greg's announcement of the CW tv deal for LIV the boys talk about the likely impact/engagement of real golf fans and Martin makes a bold prediction about LIV's life cycle. Is the end already in sight? Interact with the podcast via our twitter link @ITFOG_podcast

Martin and young Mike review the Sentry Tournament of Champions and preview 2023. As usual for a new year podcast we have a go at predicting who will win majors in 2023, both mens and ladies, and also how will the Ryder/Solheim Cups play out. Will LIV Golf stride forward or are we already seeing the cracks in their business strategy widening? Plenty to discuss as we look forward to a new golfing year. Interact with the podcast via our Twitter feed @ITFOG_podcast if you wish to agree/disagree with our predictions. Happy new year to all our listeners.

For the last time in 2022 Martin, Des and young Mike hit the studio and try to distill, disseminate and discuss everything that has happened  in this most unusual of golfing years. Who were 2022's biggest winners and losers? As ever there are a range of varied opinions but unusually quite a lot of agreement. 
With thanks to all our listeners for their loyalty throughout 2022 and we hope to keep bringing you interesting content in 2023. Interact with the podcast via our twitter link @ITFOG_podcast

As Christmas approaches Martin, Des and young Mike get together to discuss some of the off season events, the New York Times investigation into LIV finances and viability, plus our hopes (and fears) for gifts at Christmas. We wish all our listeners a very happy and peaceful Christmas with their families and friends.

Martin and young Mike welcome local amateur Mathew McClean into the studio to talk about his recent victory at Erin Hills in the US Mid Am championship. Mathew's win comes with opportunities galore in 2023 including invites to the US Amateur championship, the US Open and probably (whisper it quietly) the Masters at Augusta. Playing off a +6 handicap is something average golfers can not truly comprehend but as we find out it is all about mindset. Interact with the podcast via our Twitter feed @ITFOG_podcast

Martin and Des tie up the loose ends from the 2022 DP World Tour with a recap on both the Nedbank (Africa's major) at Sun City and the DP World Tour Finals on the Earth Course in Dubai. The boys also discuss the validity of Greg Norman's claim that he hopes to sign 7 OWGR top 20 players to LIV ahead of the 2023 season.  Patrick Reed's lawsuit dismissal gets a touch before the boys consider some of the new rules coming in in 2023, something Patrick Reed should also do.  Plus some quirky news from around the golfing world.

We recently organised a budget golf tour to Lisbon, Portugal and this episode discusses the pros and cons of a blitz tour. From budget airlines to overcrowded/average condition golf courses, excursions to do and ways to ensure you get good value for your hard earned euros. Martin & Des reminisce (well the bits Des can actually remember) whilst young Mike asks a few pertinent questions as he listens to the tale of the tour.  Was it a good tour? Opinions certainly vary on that point. Interact with the podcast via our twitter feed @ITFOG_podcast.
