Talk Golf Scotland

To celebrate the end of our second full year of podcasting we have decided to repost our top 5 listened-to interviews and downloaded episodes we have recorded so far.  This one was from the summer of 2019.  A really interesting story of a small town lad from Durban in South Africa who stumbled into a university scholarship in North Carolina before making his way to the top of the game by winning The Players Championship at Sawgrass.  Tim also finished runner up at The Masters and tells of the time he beat off Tiger in the World Matchplay.  Lots of stories and a great listen.

This week we cover the year-end DP World Tour Championship in Dubai and talk about the 2020 Race to Dubai champ, Lee Westwood.  Also, we look back at 2020 and discuss our highs and lows of this very strange year!!

This is the story of a humble Glasgow lad, who rose from reporting news in the local rag to sitting alongside Jack Nicklaus while presenting the Masters live from Augusta National.

David admits to stumbling into TV and golf after joining Sky Sports in its infancy.  He presented 12 Ryder Cups, umpteen major championships and travelled the world following the best players in the game for over 25 years. He has worked alongside some amazing people including Tony Jacklin and Jack Nicklaus as well as interviewing everyone from Arnold Palmer to Rory McIlroy. He talked about his relationships with Seve and Tiger Woods and tells some great stories of his best pal, Butch Harmon. He gave an insight into what is involved in broadcasting a golf tournament and how things have changed over the years. In a very honest chat, David also talks about his thoughts on Augusta, Earl Woods and even the BBC.

Unassuming, professional, great fun but most of all a gentleman.

This week we sadly saw the passing of a true golfing giant.  Peter Alliss had a fantastic playing career but probably an even better second career in the golf commentary box for the BBC.  We give out thoughts on the big man.  Also, we look forward to the climax of the European Tour in Dubai this weekend at the DP World Championship.  We also name our new Club of the Week!

Covid has meant that the first tee of many clubs are busier than ever with a huge demand for tee times meaning some are struggling to find space for a game.  Also, the PGA Tour & European Tour seem to be working together - is this the start of a world tour? We discuss these and other news in this weeks show.

This week we talk about the new long driving sensation on the European Tour, Wilko Nienaber who this week averaged 57 yards longer than the field from the tee.  We also discuss how and why 1st tees are still, in November, so busy.  Charlie Woods, Ronnie O'Sullivan and Spiderman also get a mention.

For the first time ever, Augusta held the Masters in November! There were so many stories this week - what's wrong with Rory, Tiger makes a 10, 63 isn't too old for Bernhard, Bryson feels a bit dizzy and DJ finds a new gear.  All of this as well as announcing which listener won a 4 ball at Royal Dornoch and we move inland to Perthshire for our next Club of the Week!

With Donald, Scott, Peter & Stewart

In this special episode Scott has a great chat with Tom Boys, a performance analyst who works closely with top players such as Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Wallace, Jason Day and others to help them better understand their game as a whole and what parts they need to improve on.  A really interesting listen - enjoy!

Bob MacIntyre has won his first event on the European Tour!!  A fantastic achievement following a bumpy few months for the Oban lad.   We talk Bob, 48" Drivers and look forward to the first ever Masters played in November.

Also, this week we announce a very special 'Club of the Week'....
