A weekly podcast. Geoff Shackelford and Lawrence Donegan discuss the main events of the week in golf.

Lawrence Donegan and the great Geoff Shackelford look back on a tremendous (and tumultuous) year in the world of golf, from the major championships to the major bust-up between the PGA Tour and  LIV golf. Be warned - we only had an hour so we couldn't get round to everything, just highlights (and the lowlights), but  as always we had an entertaining, informed conversation.

This week host Lawrence Donegan is joined by Geoff Shackelford and James Corrigan, whose work at the Telegraph newspaper on LIV Golf has dominated the coverage of what is golf's biggest story since the emergence of Tiger in the mid-1990s. It's a great discussion, full of insight and little nuggets of new information. 

The podcast is back. This week our man in the big chair Lawrence Donegan is joined by legendary BBC golf correspondent Iain Carter and author of the smash hit "The Quadrilateral" substack newsletter (subscribe if you don't already) Geoff Shackelford. We tried not to spend too much time talking about LIV but failed miserably. But before that, we discuss the Old Course and its genius. 

We are back! In a new episode, host Lawrence Donegan is joined by Mark Cannizarro of the New York Post and Geoff Shackelford of The Quadrilateral newsletter to discuss Phil Mickelson, the ethics of journalism, the limitless supplies of hypocrisy in professional golf and the corporate world, the Saudi golf league and where does the professional game go from here. Big stuff. Smart chat. 

Big infection points demand "emergency" podcasts. Lawrence Donegan is joined this week by Geoff Shackelford of The Quadrilateral newsletter and Mark Cannizzaro of the New York Post to discuss the potential upheaval in the landscape of the professional golf and the PGA Tour's self-defeating silence when confronted by the existential threat of Saudi billions.

This week Lawrence Donegan is joined by Geoff Shackelford to discuss, amongst other things, the South Course at Torrey Pines, site of the 2021 US Open. In his story in the new edition of McKellar Magazine (mckellarmagazine.com/shop) Geoff describes Ress Jones'  2019 redo of his 2001 redo  of the San Diego muni as one of golf's biggest missed opportunites. In the podcast, he explains why. 

An all-star major championship deserves all-star guests. This week Lawrence Donegan is joined by Iain Carter of the BBC and Mark Cannizzaro of the New York Post to discuss Phil Mickelson's victory at Kiawah Island. But first, we discuss the feud between  Brooks and Bryson and what it means for Team USA...

This week Lawrence Donegan flies solo and talks to  golf agent Chubby Chandler about the political and business machinations in the world of professional golf. Chubby takes us on a tour through the money mountains and comes to some startling conclusions about where the game is heading. 

Please note: we have a brand new edition of McKellar magazine out now. You can buy your copy at McKellarmagazine.com/shop .

This week Lawrence Donegan and Mark Cannizzaro are joined by friend of the pod, Iain Carter of the BBC, to discuss a tsunami of news in the world of golf - golf equipment rollbacks (proposed), Patrick "handsy" Reed, awkward press conferences we have known, and a whole lot more. Really fun show this week. Lots of laughs.
