This week Geoff Shackelford and Lawrence Donegan take at explaining the apparent comeback by the PGA Tour - terrific TV ratings,and the continuing descent of LIV into golfing irrelevance - and conclude it's all down to the Rory bounce. There also a look ahead to this week's event at Philadelphia Cricket Club , the weird DPWT event just announced at Trump International in Scotland. Who is paying for that? Not Donald, we bet. Finally, Donegan has a rant about the British government's disgraceful behaviour in trying to force the R&A to stage the 2028 Open at Turnberry in order to stay in Trump's good books.

In this episode of Golf and Politics, Matt Parker and Rob Ellsworth kick off the new year by discussing their golf goals for 2025. Matt shares his mission to reduce double bogeys, improve his mental game, and embrace the process of getting better at golf. Rob focuses on playing fewer but more meaningful rounds, aiming for consistency on the courses he loves. The conversation also touches on bucket-list destinations like Cypress Point, Bandon Dunes, and iconic West Virginia courses, with an eye toward making these trips as memorable as possible. The hosts also dive into strategies for refining their game, such as utilizing a "fairway finder" off the tee, balancing power and accuracy, and rethinking club setups for optimal performance. Beyond technique, they emphasize the importance of golf as a platform for connection, growth, and mental health. The episode closes with a preview of upcoming podcast projects, including plans for a Ryder Cup-style event and conversations with top golf architecture expert Geoff Shackelford. Takeaways: Make War on Double Bogeys: Matt's top priority is to eliminate unnecessary mistakes, focus on smarter decision-making, and avoid turning bogeys into doubles or worse. Focus on Quality Over Quantity: Rob aims to reduce the sheer volume of courses he plays, prioritizing meaningful experiences with friends and family. Refining Tee Shots for Consistency: Adopting a “fairway finder” off the tee ensures accuracy and reduces penalties, setting up better opportunities for scoring. Improving the Mental Game: Both hosts discuss controlling emotions, embracing a positive attitude, and staying present, which they agree are critical for better performance and enjoyment. Exploring Golf Course Architecture: Matt expresses a desire to deepen his appreciation for course design, enhancing his understanding of the game and making rounds more engaging.
