  • Ep91: Live at Kingston Heath. Guests: Cassie Porter, Richie Ramsay, and Predictions for the Open Mens & Women's Winners
    Nov 26 2024

    What a week, a wonderful Australian PGA, and it's Open week. We're live at Kingston Heath in the leadup to the Open. A slightly longer pod today given we're at Kingston Heath and there is so much to see and discuss, and we also got excited!


    Mark entered Monday Qualifying, and whilst he wasn't necessarily expecting to make it through he had a lot of fun and he talks us through the scores that the 4 Monday Qualifiers ended up shooting.


    We discuss Elvis Smylie's brilliant performance in Brisbane. Nick and Mark both loved his performance and loved him winning. We discuss the matching of player and caddy and how important it is. Mark confesses something about Elvis's length that he had under-estimated.


    Tour Pro Cassie Porter stops by with her caddy, former tour pro Dan Morrison, for a chat. Cassie tells us about getting her card for next year, and how it happened on the final putt, although she didn't realise at the time! She talks about the 'kick in the teeth' that spurred her on to the next level, and whether she will now move to the US or remain Australian based?


    Nick returns to Elvis and discusses the rules official giving him a bad time warning in Brisbane. Is the party hole in Brisbane in the right place? Nick and Mark discuss. Mark mentions Nelly Korda's comments this week on slow play, and Nick and Mark name 5 things that they would do, were they in charge, to address slow play.


    After the turn, we're about to do the Top 5 for Southern Golf Club, and Scottish tour pro Richie Ramsay, 4-time winner on the DP World Tour, walks up to say hi so we grab him for a chat. He tell us about his views of Kingston Heath, how he loves the 'element of risk' the course provides. Richie tells us, of his 4 wins, which was the most special and why.


    Mark heard Ian Baker-Finch on radio this week discussing the joint Male/Female Open approach, making some interesting comments. We play IBF's comments and discuss. Today's Top 5 is from Mark on the best sub-60 rounds in professional golf. And Nick gives us all the results in PING globals. Slightly shorter feedback this week as we've got a full show, but a couple of whacks to hear from the Wolfpack, and then Paul from Brisbane calls the hotline with a question on Tiger from last weeks show. Nicks Masterclass is on using a 3 wood around the green.


    And we wrap with Nick and Marks predictions for who will win the Open this weekend, men's and women's !

    Nov 22 2024

    Talk Birdie to Me Wolfpack member Shaun McCorkell heard Nick and Mark discussing hitting the ball into nets to address changes or technique refinement with your swing, and he had a story about hitting into nets as a kid - where it went slightly pear-shaped.

    Bonus Q&A pod today.


    We hear from Alex who heard Nick and Mark talking about Corey Lamb's nickname and wants to know what some other tour pro nicknames are (or were), very funny, including Markos story about Lumpy the Caddy - which he has told before but never gets old.


    Daniel has a question about 7 Mile Beach in Tassie and whether it is potentially Australia's Tara Iti, which we discuss.


    Hef has a question for Nick following last weeks masterclass, we give him a buzz to elaborate.


    And finally Daniel messages us from his tractor in the Yarra Valley asking why people like hard courses, or hard holes, when golf is in his view meant to be fun. We discuss and Nick and Mark talk about some of the holes they found the toughest in their pro career.


    And we wrap up with a few predictions for this weekends Australian PGA in Brisbane.
