So we've decided to do, from time to time, Talk Birdie To Me 'mini's, which run no longer than about 10-minutes and see Nick and Mark discussing only one issue, or answering one question.

This one is great fun. Wolfpacker Joseph, a greenkeeper from New Zealand has asked Nick and Mark to construct their team to face off against the others. For their teams, here are the rules:

• 1 x Australian player
• 1 x US player
• 1 x European player
• 1 x International (any other country)
• They can be current or older players
• No player can be chosen twice, so once a player is selected, he is unavailable to the other person
• And they have to choose the venue for the tournament.

Have a listen to their selections - there are a couple of surprises - and we'll put a poll on Twitter over the weekend (so as not to spoil the choices) and we want you to decide whether Team Nick or Team Mark wins!

A great Talk Birdie Mini today, thanks to Joseph from shooting it through all the way from Aotearoa !
