It's Friday and that means a Friday Feedback pod. Plenty of great comments and questions for Nick and Mark to discuss today.
01:00 Following our conversation a couple of weeks ago about women golfers who were (or are) absolute flushers, there's a couple of suggestions on golfers we missed.
03:00 Nick and Mark discuss the importance of not focusing so much on the quality of your good shots, but the quality of your bad shots....they explain.
04:00 Our discussion about local rules really has sparked some comments, and yes gimmes come up again (much to Marks frustration)
05:00 Mark notes that in the US it can be quite different, mulligans and gimmes are almost negotiated for.
05:50 Last week Mark talked about 'airspace' on a particular hole being out of bounds, we get a message from Ray in the UK who had the same thing at his club
07:00 An idea from Mission Hills on how to manage gimmes
07:30 Ian has a comment and question about YouTube golf tips, he may have misunderstood a recent conversation on the show, but that's okay, we have a chat about it.
10.30 Are bunkers still hazards, or are they too well groomed?
11:30 Radar - A fun story about the great man.
After the turn:
14.00 A few messages and stories about the recent passing of Metropolitan (Melbourne) golf legend Brian Twite
17:00 Can golf instructors destroy a swing?
20:00 A story from Graeme about the Dunvegan
22:00 Nick tells the story of how Jack Newton helped him win the PGA Championship at Coolum
23:00 And into a story about Payne Stewart at Coolum
And unfortunately the show ends on a low note with Dan cracking an appalling joke. A possible suspension for him from next weeks show is being considered by the Talk Birdie Team.
