Talk Golf Scotland

This week we go back over the Genesis and Ludvigs firast win of the year.  We also discuss the new pace of play rulings coming into force on the LPGA as well as LIV, TGL and how greasy faces effect your shots!

One of our favourite events of the golfing calendar took place this past week with a Ryder hopeful winning by 7 shots!  Also LIV, TGL, Qatar and Tiger..

A look back at Rory McIlroy and his dominant display at Pebble.  Is this the year...?  

LIV golf signs Rick Sheils to help them reach a wider audience while Justin Thomas encourages his fellow PGA Tour members to show more of themselves to help atract a newer crowd.  What a strange ere we liv in!!  Also, slow play again rears its ugly head...

Tyrrell wins again and Sepp wins on PGA Tour.  Are they both a shoe-in for a Ryder Cup place?  We talk about all of the past weeks golf plus give our Major Championship predictions for 2025.

Now into our 7th season and still going strong(ish).  This week we look back at the new simulated TGL golf and ask if it works, will last or is it here to stay?  Also, Hideki shoots -35, and we loose another talent to LIV golf.  This and more..  Many thanks to Breadalbane Finance for the continued support. TGS has much to look forward to in 2025!

In our final podcast of 2024 we look back at the golfing year, revisiting all 4 major championships and talking winners and losers of the season.

Thanks again for supporting us in 2024 and we will be back in early 2025!

Thanks also to the amazing support we recieve from the fabulous Breadalbane Finance! 

This is an episode we recorded in 2020 with long time Sky Sports Golf lead presenter, David Livingstone from Glasgow which we thought is well worth a revisit.  We will be back to our normal pod next week with a review of the 2024 golfing season.  

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 US 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.

With the world of golf in sleep mode we brought a couple of questions of our own to the podcast.  

Does golf need to be dumbed down a little to help attract newbies?

Is golf club membership too expensive?

How important is keeping your stats?

All this and a little more in this weeks episode..

Another great week at the DW World Championship ended in a win for Rory.  Can he become the GOAT of Europe?  We also look at the 10 players graduating to the PGA Tour next year and ask why was this not followed better on TV!  Slow play, broken clubs and the Mid Amateur Championships make a return to Scottish Golf.
