We also discussed the new 2021 European Tour season, the €3 Million prize fund for the Irish Open at Mount Juliet in July and whether we'll see the likes of Tiger, DJ, Jordan Speith and Justin Thomas make an appearance at the Kilkenny venue, with the JP McManuc ProAm two days later there could be some big names knocking around.

Friend of the pod, Darren Reynolds and his new partner Antoine Rozner won the week after coming on the pod, are The BogeyMen the European Tour king makers?

Have you been fit for your golf ball? Why do you play you ball? What are the factors that go into choosing your golf ball? The golf ball is the only element you use on every hole, from the tee to green it is used more than any club, so why do we neglect the golf ball?

Mark O'Mahony from Titleist joined us to talk through the importance of getting a golf ball fitting and how much it could improve your game!

Jonny and Dave spoke about their own journeys toward picking what golf ball they play and why.

Mark also shared his thoughts on the distance debate and whether the golf ball should be rolled back...

What does it take to make it on Tour as a caddy? What makes a good caddy? And how does a caddy identify a good player?

We caught up with Tour caddy Darren Reynolds to go through his experiences from his work with great Irish talents from Padraig Harrington & Paul McGinley to winning the British Masters with Paul Dunne to currently working on the European Tour with Antoine Rozner.

Darren shared some stories from his time on tour, and also told us who he thinks has the greatest short game he's ever seen, as well as what young player on the circuit at the moment makes you stop and stare on the driving range.

It has been both a busy and a quiet week in the world of golf. Irish golf is in lockdown, but not everyone is playing by the rules. 

Jonny Caldwell had his best finish on tour, coming T5 at the Italian Open as Ross McGowan claimed his first win in 11 years.

Rory Mcilroy snapped his club in frustration, just how far off peak form is he?

Jack Nicklaus has come out to support Donald Trump in the upcoming US Presidential Election and we give our opinions.

Next week will be our first Masters preview show, so we'll be doing a lot of research to talk about all aspects of the golf tournament and the club Augusta National.

Thanks for listening, if you have any feedback or people you'd like us to talk to then get in touch with us on Twitter or Instagram!

Golf Clubs across Ireland have closed once again. How negatively will this affect the Irish golf community and who is to blame? If anyone?

Dave & Jonny sit down to react to the recent GUI announcement and dissect some of the factors that may have gone into Sport Ireland's decision to close Irish Golf Clubs.

Dave also explains the new World Handicap System and what it could mean to you.

We also announce that John Catlin will be on the pod next week! Be sure to tune in for that chat

Thanks for listening.

We talk to the people behind golf data, the backroom team that brought the Ryder Cup back to Europe, these guys are golf's version of the Oakland A's except they have the ring!

Justin Ray and Dylan Beirne joined us on the pod this week to give a little insight to the data that drives golf's top performers and informs, educates and entertains viewers on a weekly basis. We get a behind the scenes look at what goes into the Ryder Cup, from the Captain's picks to choosing the pairings even what courses you should play if you want to earn your spot on the team!

Take notes because there is a lot in this!

Thanks again for listening to the pod, we have some exciting guests coming up soon, multiple tour winners, Ryder Cup legends and more!
