In the old days golf stats were simple. Things like Fairways Hit and Total number of putts taken ere the benchmarks but all that has changed recently with the introduction of Strokes Gained.

Life as a golf pro is nowhere near as glamorous as most of us think and Fiji International winner Jason Norris is living proof. Jason's win this week was one of the most popular in recent memory and he joins Bruce Young and Rod Morri to chat about how things have changed since the final putt dropped. Also this week discussion about the extraordinary show that was The Solheim Cup, a thrilling finish in the US Amateur and could the LPGA and European Tour join forces to save the Ladies European Tour?

Special Guest: Jason Norris.

Sunday's finish was high on excitement but did that mask issues with the PGA? Adrian Logue says yes and makes some interesting and valid points to support his theory. Also, the case for Hideki Matsuyama being golf's most intriguing top flight golfer (the Japan Times story quoted in the episode can be found here: http://bit.ly/2i0EHkk), the world's most important amateur tournament and bring on the controversy - it's time for the Solheim Cup!

It's a long one this week listeners but well worth the effort as we explore all things golf with the insightful, sensible and extraordinarily knowledgeable Mike Clayton. Clayton is a former touring professional turned course architect and commentator whose regular columns in Golf Australia magazine and on the Golf Australia website never cease to inform and entertain but, most importantly, provoke thoughtful, interesting and important debate.

Special Guest: Mike Clayton.

With the number of professional golf tournaments played each week you'd think they'd be easy to organise. You'd be wrong. Today's guest Michael Goldstein has spent the best part of two years to realise his dream of bringing the LPGA Tour to New Zealand and as you'll hear in Episode 18, it's no easy task.

Special Guest: Michael Goldstein.

Cynics have even been heard to proclaim that a caddie has never hit an important shot in a tournament but the bagmen proved their worth at Royal Birkdale last week. iSeekGolf co-host Bruce Young is a former international caddie and on episode 17 we delve into just what role the modern looper plays in the multi million dollar world of tournament golf. We also chat about an Australian amateur's big international win, Peter Lonard joining the over 50's, Hannah Green's continued good play and the unheralded Brett Drewitt quietly making his way in the world game.

Adam Bland tees up in his third Open Championship at Royal Birkdale while iSeekGolf's Adrian Logue covers his first. We chat to both on Episode 16 as well as get Bruce Young's take on what to expect when the 146th edition of the game's oldest major tees off in Southport.

Special Guest: Adam Bland.

One of the most popular wins in recent memory as Katherine Kirk breaks a seven year drought while Curtis Luck continues his relentless push for a US PGA Tour card. Meantime, the rules are in the headlines again with Jon Rahm under the spotlight and the USGA publicly jumping to Bernhard Langer's defence over the ongoing anchored putter debate.

Bryden Macpherson is one of only two Australians ever to win the British Amateur championship but he's also one of the game's more articulate and intelligent thinkers. He joins the podcast on Episode 14 for an enlightening chat about golf, life and everything else and while it's a long one, it's a must listen.
