We mark our 50th episode with an absolutely cracking guest, 2005 US Open winner Michael Campbell. Michael was good enough to give up his time and give us some insight into what it is like to play as a professional, what it is like to win a major and what it is like to beat Tiger Woods. We were bowled over by Michael's warmth and humility and we really hope you enjoy our conversation with him. The episode was recorded a few months ago, just prior to the Masters and it was so special we decided to save it for our big 5oth. Enjoy

Not much golf to discuss this week as we are all in lockdown, which is why its the perfect time for a chat with Christer Holst (@christerholstgolfing on Instagram). Christer is from Sweden, a country lucky enough not to have any lockdowns thus far. This is why he was able to play over a hundred rounds last summer while the rest of us were housebound! Enjoy

This podcast was recorded in late 2020 and the rules around COVID have since changed. Don't worry we are staying safe and sticking to the rules. In our final podcast of the year, we are joined by Matt and Rich Brooker, The Golfing Bros. In one of our more meandering chats, we talk about condiments, Lowestoft, how to evade the wife for a cheeky round and much more. Thank you to all our guests and listeners in 2020.

This week we are joined by Kevin who guys by the name of Golf Guy Reviews on his Instagram, Twitter and Youtube channels. Kev wowed us with his knowledge of golf shoes and by the end of our hour long conversation, we declared him a thoroughly nice chap! Enjoy

Greetings from the 'lockdown' Not much golf is being played out there at the minute. Luckily, a few weeks ago, we were able to chat with Alice Hewson (@alicehewson97 on Instagram) about her golf career. Alice won her first event on the LET recently and we think she'll be a big star in the future. Enjoy

On this week's podcast, we are joined by Mike Jones (@mikejonesdisabledgolfer on Instagram) who has some really interesting insights into his experience golfing with a disability.

On this week's episode we go through the fallout of our recent society game which was cancelled due to a water logged course.

Our guest this week is Steve Brett, a previous guest who is back to discuss his new app - Buddy Golf, an app designed to help golfers find playing partners.

He's been on the Podcast a few times before. Warren refers to him (affectionately) as the Karl Pilkington of our podcast. But we've never dedicated a whole episode to him. So, this week Average Tim (@tim_moo28 on Instagram) is here to talk about his golf journey. Warning - this episode contains much banter and a few naughty words here and there. Sorry mum

On this week's podcast, we dissect our recent round at Ufford Park and Blakey explains the ruling if you find your ball in a water logged bunker. Our guest this week is Sarah Forrest (@sarah_thetravellingladygolfer on Instagram). As the title of this podcast suggests, Sarah has the extremely enviable job of travelling the world as a golf journalist. She has played golf in more countries than she cares to remember and has some amusing stories to share. Enjoy

We've got an absolute belter this week! Warren is joined by Blakey aka @golfrules_questions on Instagram. Blakey has built up quite a following answering his followers questions about the rules of our fantastic but complicated sport. Amongst other things you can hear how he got into golf, how he shook Tiger Wood's hand last year and he's got possibly the best answer for 'worst club in you garage' that we've ever had. Enjoy.

This week Rob sets out his golfing goals for 2020 and we discuss Cameron Smith's recent win dedicated to those suffering from the fires in Australia. Our guest this week is Ronan McDermott, who you can find on Instagram under @cack_handed_golfer.

This week we are joined by Luke James who goes by the handle of @socialgolfing on Instagram. We talk to Luke about his pet hates, music, why he left his former club, ideas for improving the appeal of women's golf and much more.

When we sat down to chat with Danielle Ferry (@danieferry.golf on Instagram) we presumed we would be talking about the women's game not life as a teenage golfer. We had know idea that she had started golf at a very young age, played serious competitions, then fell slightly out of love with it in her later teens and stopped playing completely when she went to university. Now, Danie has rediscovered her passion for the game. This is her story.

This week we are joined by Lewis Reynold (@rookie.golfer on Instagram). Lewis writes a blog (www.rookiegolfer.co.uk), aimed at the average golfer, much like our podcast. Its a good read for anyone looking for product or course reviews tailored for the higher handicapper. Check it out.

This week we are joined by the presenter of the Sky Sports Golf Podcast, Josh Antmann (@joshantmann on Instagram) Josh found it quite the novelty to be the guest on a podcast for a change. We talk about how he got into golf, how he became a producer at Sky Sports, his podcast, golf fashion and of course, his favourite music to get him pumped up for golf.

This week's episode was recorded live from sunny Portugal where we enjoyed 3 days of golf, beer and banter. We stayed just outside Portimao, at the Morgado resort. You can here our thoughts on the facilities, the course as well as the two other courses we played - the Alamos and Salgado. Spoiler - all three were excellent :-) Tchau!

We are back to our roots this week - chatting to average golfer, Phil Murphy (@average_guy_golf) Phil is relatively new to the game but is eager to learn, improve and enjoy our wonderful sport. Enjoy

Last week was our end of season stay-away and our society travelled to Wensum Valley just outside of Norwich for 2 days of golf, food and alcohol. Find out how Rob got on in the final of the knockout cup and whether Warren managed to claw back the remaining points he needed to steal the coveted league trophy. Enjoy

We don't usually cover the pro game on our podcast, but we were both so inspired by the awesome performance from the ladies at the Solheim cup that we wanted to give our views on it. We have also gathered together not 1, but 3 guests. Emma Brown (@theladygolfcoach) talks about the pride she felt for the European team. Ashley Harris (@enablegolf) was at Gleneagles and talks about what it was like for people with disabilities and covering the event as a photographer. Lastly, we have Josh Antmann (@joshantmann) who was part of the excellent Sky Sports Golf team covering the event. Josh is joining us for a proper chat in two weeks time. But if you want to hear more from him in the meantime, he presents the Sky Sport Golf podcast.

This week we are joined by the main man, the internet sensation, the long-haired, pink sock wearing heartthrob known as Average Tim. Between the three of us, we discuss what we both love and hate about our wonderful sport.

We start off this week's episode with a recording we made on a trip to Mill Green Golf Club where we met Shane (@golfing_on_the_daily) for a round. Then the main event is a chat with Emma Brown (@theladygolfcoach) who is a PGA Professional coach at The Kendleshire Golf Club in Bristol. Emma talks us through her golfing life, how she became a coach and her thoughts on the women's game. She is a very warm and passionate lady and we think you will really enjoy our chat with her.

This week we are joined by Dan who makes personalised, hand made ball markers under the name Northern Ball Markers.

If you like what you hear, be sure to follow Dan on Instagram (@northernballmarkers), and check out his website www.northernballmarkers.co.uk

In this cracking episode of the Average Golf Society Podcast, we talk to Patrick Koenig (@pjkoenig on Instagram).

He talks about his personal journey and the challenges he has overcome to get where he is today. It's a very inspiring story and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we did.

We packed an awful lot into this week's episode. Firstly we had our recent society match to unpack and analyse. Then, having not put out a podcast last week, we needed to talk a little bit about The Open. We were also joined by Rachel Hill (@golf_run_train_repeat on instagram) whom discussed her own golfing journey and the joys of playing with her entire family. Then to top the episode off we answered some of your questions. Our dream four balls proved to be quite the point of conversation.
