    (Ep 107) Martin Simonsen
    Dec 6 2023
    In tonight's episode Craig is joined by DP World Tour & Challenge Tour professional Martin Leth Simonsen calling in from holiday in Texas! Martin is a pro since 2015 playing from Aalborg in Denmark the same place as Lucas Bjerregaard & a graduate of the University of Texas El Paso playing in the same fields as the likes of Jon Rahm, Jordan Spieth & Bryson DeChambeau. We learn of how Bryson would just come out with the most random stuff! A 2x European Am Team member for Denmark in 2014 at Linna in Finland & 2015 at Halmstad GC in Sweden losing in the final to Scotland that year. Martin alongside his good pal Niklas Norgaard & Nicolai Kristensen competed in the 2014 Eisenhower Trophy together in Japan with was won by USA (DeChambeau, Hossler & Denny McCarthy) other notables include Jon Rahm, Thomas Detry, the dangerous trio of Corey Conners, Taylor Pendrith & Adam Svensson as well as the 2 long sons of Italy Matteo Manassero & Guido Migliozzi. Martin reveals how Matteo was delighted for him winning his tour card even in his own struggles and is fastly the nicest guy on the tour and how great it is to have Manassero back playing well again! Martin would win Challenge Tour card in 2019 from the Nordic Golf League and a DP World Tour card in 2022 after finishing 14th overall in the Race to Mallorca standings for the season gaining full playing privileges on the DP World Tour for 2023 winning his only career title as a pro at Kaskada Golf Challenge in Prague at -20 beating the talented Marco Penge by 4 shots going wire to wire all the way! Although injuries and poor form happened in 2023 for Martin there is a sense of optimism that 2024 could be a great year on the challenge tour as Martin looks to win back his DP Tour Card for 2024/25 season!I hope you enjoy!

    (Ep 105) Alfred Dunhill Championship (Craig Edwards)
    Dec 5 2023
    We are back doing tournament previews after a couple months away from doing it and Craig is joined for the first time by former Snooker pro & now Golf Writer & Tipster Craig Edwards @EdwardsTips on X. The 2 Craig's go at it about Burmester & Niemann winning in South Africa & Australia respectively while looking at how the LIV players are getting easy exemptions back onto the Tour that they walked away from. We discuss the massive talking point of World #3 Jon Rahm now confirmed going to LIV Golf and we discuss how that might play out along with going over some of the new DPWT graduates from Challenge Tour & DPWT Q School Finals as we say who we fancy to go well out of the graduates and who we think will be a first time winner in 2024 on the DP World Tour! We then make our picks for Alfred Dunhill Champs this week at the iconic Leopard Creek in Malelane, Mpumalanga the home of Kruger National Park. Be sure to Follow @ThomsonGolf94 on Twitter for more. Thank you Craig for a fun episode!Enjoy!

  • D+D Real Czech Masters with Nigel (GolfNutter)

    D+D Real Czech Masters with Nigel (GolfNutter)
    Aug 22 2023
    In the return of the DP World Tour it was a comprehensive runaway victory for Englishman Daniel Brown who went wire to wire to win ISPS Handa World Invitational by 5 shots after having a 6 shot lead in both R3 & R4 it was a first win as a pro for Brown while on the PGA Tour at BMW Championship it was an incredible 61 from Viktor Hovland that including a back 9 of 28 shots to win by 2 heading into East Lake. It was a naff week with only Marcus Helligkilde sharing a place at 40/1 in T4th alongside 4 others while Rasmus Neergaard Petersen challenged after 36 holes then faded away slightly over the weekend!Moving onto this week where it's a good field for D+D Real Czech Masters with big permutations for the Ryder Cup seeing the likes of Lowry, Aberg, The Hojgaard's, MacIntyre & Yannik Paul all playing as they look to impressive captain Luke Donald this week at Albatross Golf Resort. Albatross is a long golf course mainly focused on Driving Distance which is massively advantageous while other shorter hitters with amazing short game can also compete. I am again joined by Nigel @GolfNutter3 to go over this week's event in Prague as we go over the top of the market which includes an invitation for the Belgian sensation that is Adrien Dumont Du Chassart. Listen in to see what we think this week!Enjoy

    The DP World Tour returns this week after it's 4 week layoff after The Open Championship at Royal Liverpool and the Barracuda at Tahoe. While I've been busy with player interviews it's good to have the main reason we do this back and that is chat DP World Tour golf! This week I am joined for the first time by Nigel who is better known on Twitter as @GolfNutter3 calling in all the way from Brisbane, Australia to chat this week's ISPS Handa World Invitational presented by AVIV Clinics in co-sanction with the Ladies European Tour at Galgorm Castle in Antrim, Ballymena 30 mins outside of Belfast! This 7,200 yard Simon Gidman design opened in 1997 & has played host to Galgorm Open on Challenge Tour in 2018 won by Calum Hill and has been a mixture of Challenge Tour & more recently DP World Tour host to the ISPS Handa World Invitational since 2019 with its initial inception on the CT in 2019 where Jack Senior won, John Catlin won the 2020 Irish Open here at Galgorm Castle, while Dan Gavins & Ewen Ferguson have won the last 2 editions at both -13 & -12 respectively so expect more of the same a tougher test! Check out who Craig & Nigel fancy for this week's tournament at Galgorm where we both have a consensus pick & agree on a couple of other longer shots! I want to thank Nigel for taking the time out (night time in Aus) to chat with me for the first time on Chasing Pars!Enjoy!

    Ep 80 Charles Schwab Challenge
    May 24 2022
    Justin Thomas was the deserved victor as he tamed Southern Hills Country Club to defeat Will Zalatoris in a playoff to win his 2nd PGA Championship title. This week the PGA moves back to Fort Worth, Texas for Charles Schwab Challenge at the classical test known as Colonial Country Club. Jason Kokrak was crowned champion last year defeating a spirited Jordan Spieth to cap off his remarkable 18 month trophy turnaround! Other champions at Colonial include Daniel Berger, Kevin Na, Justin Rose, Jordan Spieth & Chris Kirk. This 7,209 classical Perry Maxwell Par 70 design is a really tough test of Golf for the Players it is tough but fair. With Jamie still on hols in Portugal, Craig is joined by Geoff Fienberg of Mayo Media Network/Oddschecker US and BetSperts to go over how we think it'll play out and who we reckon can reign supreme at Colonial on Sunday.
