Podcast appearances and mentions of Peter Thomson

ABOUT TOGETHER WE ROARED  Steve Williams, arguably the greatest caddie in golf history, teams up with renowned golf journalist Evin Priest to give his definitive account of his 12-year partnership with the legendary Tiger Woods, sharing personal, never-before-told moments of their friendship on and off the course. When Tiger Woods went on an extraordinary majors run between 1999 and 2008, one man stood at his side: his caddie Steve Williams. Together Steve and Tiger dominated the PGA Tour and won an astonishing 13 major championships, their sights set on breaking Jack Nicklaus's record 18 majors. Before they could overtake Nicklaus, however, their partnership ended abruptly, and a 12-year period without talking began. Years later, the two reconnected. Steve, with PGA Tour journalist Evin Priest, reflects fondly on his years as Tiger's caddie and their relentless pursuit of greatness. He revisits all their best moments, from Tiger's iconic shot on the 16th hole at the 2005 Masters to the famed Tiger Slam of 2000 and 2001, to his against-the-odds victory on a broken leg at the 2008 US Open. Steve goes behind the scenes of their on-course success and shows their friendship off the course, like Tiger caddying for Steve on his wedding day and Tiger giving a heartfelt best man speech. Steve also shares fascinating, never-before-seen photos and ephemera. Together We Roared offers an inside look at what it is like to ride alongside greatness and is a heartfelt ode to the friendship that produced one of the winningest duos in golf history. ABOUT STEVE WILLIAMS  Steve Williams is widely regarded as one of the greatest caddies in golf history. Originally from New Zealand, he has carried the clubs for Peter Thomson, Greg Norman, Ian Baker-Finch, Ray Floyd, Adam Scott, and Tiger Woods. During his time with Woods, the golfer won more than 80 tournaments worldwide, including 13 major championships. In 2014, Steve was inducted into the Caddie Hall of Fame by the Western Golf Association.Get the book, Together We Roared: Alongside Tiger for His Epic Twelve-Year, Thirteen-Majors Run:https://a.co/d/3GvjDmfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

 If we have to decide to do it in our way and risk or to do it in the popular way, what to do? I have read a lot of biographies and always the greatest artists never have done any compromises … And remained unpopular.After their death they became famous. Too late?  Why not try first to become successful and afterward become yourself and creative?If we sell out our meaning of life for our success we become uncreative and unmotivated.  Goethe said: we sell our soul to the devil… Is it really so important to become successful? What is to be successful for you? Is it not better to be just yourself and don't care what other people think?What is if we end up poor and we regret that?Imagine you are a young girl and you do have a loving relationship and then you have the chance to marry a rich one? In all cases, we do not know our outcome. A loving relationship can end soon, our great talents can turn in a nightmare… And that had happened all to me… Still, I am happy that I tried so hard, even it didn't have worked out. As a kid, I was outstanding in technique and loved to become an engineer… But… I was too stupid in the school, no chance at all…. Never less I did it… And, then it was a nightmare to solve all these technical problems, even I was very good in that. And then I wanted to have a passionate love relationship and I got many of them… And always, I wanted to marry every darling, it never worked out. Should I be frustrated or should I be grateful for the amazing moments in my life because I tried it?The only son of Peter Thomson (British famous business strategist) wanted to become a famous musician… Peter Thomson supported the son ambitions, even when all the other relatives and friends had been against that. Because Peter Thomson wanted that his son becomes happy. After 10 years working as a musician with a good earning, his son quit his courier and started to work with his father together. We have only this moment and this life. The greatest sin is to wast our time for meaningless things.Just try it, if it is not working out try the next thing.The worst thing is always after we have been knocked down by the circumstances not to go up immediately. And to try the next thing. Life can be amazing or depressing or just a prostitution for …That is your choice!My Video: Become yourself or a people pleaser? https://youtu.be/I8sOSAyeDIQMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/Become-yourself-or-a-people-pleaser.mp3

Over this past year, we quietly went back to where we began this podcast and worked on revising our Intro Series, "Stuff You Should Know." We updated the original episodes quietly in September. When we started thinking about what we wanted to release for the end of 2024, we feel like nothing encapsulates how we've grown as podcasters and scholars over the past four years better than these revised episodes, so we wanted to revisit them and share these episodes again.  -- This is Part 2 of our intro series “Stuff You Should Know,” which covers some background and context into the life and times of Shakespeare, because art isn't created in a vacuum. In this episode, we'll be covering some basic information about early modern England during the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras. And when we say basic, we mean basic. This is a quick overview of early modern England, more importantly the England that influenced Shakespeare.  In this episode, we'll be covering some basic information about the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods, as well as the public theatres during those respective eras. We'll review how the transition from feudalism to mercantilism changed English society and discuss facets of early modern English society such as fashion, social mobility, religious freedom, and public health. We will give an overview the history of the public theatre in England and discuss some key features of what theatre-making was like for Shakespeare and his contemporaries.  Want more about the Elizabethan and Jacobean England & Theatre? Check out these episodes that go more in depth on topics we touch on in this episode: Mini: Commerce and Trade in Shakespeare's Time King Lear: Mental Health and Disability in Shakespeare's Time Mini-Episode: The Gunpowder Plot Mini-Episode: The Four Humours Hamlet: Ophelia, Gertrude, and Female Agency Mini: Plague, Quarantine, & Shakespeare Mini: Shakespearean Vengeance: Exploring Revenge Tragedies in Early Modern England Mini-Episode: Shakespeare's Globe Theatre Mini: Traveling Theatre Companies Mini: Shakespeare's Folios and Quartos Shakespeare Anyone? is created and produced by Kourtney Smith and Elyse Sharp.

It's a big pod today, and we start with Mark telling us about being sacked as a young commentator, who was responsible, and whether he has forgiven that person? (Hint: He hasn't).We discuss Anthony Quayle's very unfortunate 7-shot penalty at the Vic PGA from the weekend, and Nick explains how it happened. Nick and Mark discuss players who copped penalties and still won. Nick brings up one of the best 'even par' performances he's ever seen from the weekend, and Mark tells a story about Peter Thomson and how he had prepared Kingston Heath years ago to have even par as the winning score, but the weather had other ideas.We had a voicemail yesterday from Mark in Hawthorn with a question about national opens and their importance. Marko heard it, and rates the idea, we discuss.Exciting news this week with Karrie Webb being announced as an Honorary Member of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews.

This is a fascinating bonus pod, we're at Flinders Golf Club overlooking the water, the waves, and of course the stunning golf course. And today we're going to learn about the course, it's history, some of the quirks of the course.We start by chatting with Andrew Kirby, who talks us through why he loves Flinders and why the course is so special. He says the views are better than Pebble Beach. There are also deep links between Flinders and Royal Melbourne, which we hear all about.Nick likens the view to the Monterey Peninsula, saying you could almost be there. Nick asks Andrew about the legendary Peter Thomson's history with Flinders, and Andrew explains the origins of that.Mark then brings up the trees. Of course he does. The beautiful Cypress trees. They may be imported, but they're now part of the fabric and they serve a very practical purpose at Flinders, which we hear about.Nick says Flinders has a great collection of Par 3's, and that the 12th hole - called Aunt Sally - is a particularly tough one. The names of the holes are full of character, and Andrew tells us about a plan, years ago, to remove a couple of the holes and the protests that occurred at the time. One of the holes is called the 'Coffin Hole', and we find out how that name came about.After the turn we chat to club captain Phil Hurley about the course renovation and the thoughts behind that, and how important it is to retain the magic of the course. Phil says that it has proven to be extremely hard to break par at Flinders, and that few do. We then chat to Life Member Ray Smith, who appears to have forgiven Nick O'Hern for trying to steal his carpark, Ray has been a member since he was a little tacker and tells about why he loves the course so much.It's a fascinating pod, and a great history lesson of this fantastic course that, as Mark Allen says, helped him, and countless others, fall in love with golf.PING will help you play your best, like they have for Nick O'Hern.

We love it when we can do the pod from a golf club, and today we're in Melbourne's sandbelt at the stunning Southern Golf Club to celebrate the unveiling of a statue of the legendary Bob Shearer. It looks incredible, we've put some pics on our socials. Nick and Mark have a couple of cracking stories about Bob, including one where Victoria Golf Course was famously deemed 'unplayable' in Round 1 of the 2002 Australian Open with Bob, Mark and Richard Ball. Mark explains what happens to them all on the tee to cause the days play to be cancelled, leading to that famous picture of Peter Thomson dropping the ball to check the green. It was quite a dark day for Australian golf.After the turn we chat with the head honch at Southern, Brad Robb, and find out the backstory and hear some more stories about Bob.Onto some golf news from the past week. Minjee Lee. We love her so it was disappointing to see her fall away in the US Open at the weekend. She was doing so well, but then a rough few holes knocked her out of contention. However credit to Yuka Saso who played beautifully to win the tournament.What kind of Chair will Ian Baker-Finch make? Nick and Mark discuss what the PGA of Australia need, and what his style might be.Nick loved the story of Robert MacIntyre winning the Canadian Open at the weekend, with his Dad Dougie as his caddie.

One may surprise you.Plenty of feedback, lots on young Eden from Coffs Harbour, far too much to read out, but we touch on a couple.

Peter Thomson is the UK's most prolific business development author with immense experience in the field. His story is fascinating as thought he had he retired at 42, only to have to reinvent himself when the sale of his business went pear-shaped. We have an enlightening discussion about the profound impact of personal identity on one's level of success. It's a concept that people will "never consistently do who they are not." This understanding will frame much of our discussion and the insights shared. We delve deep into the role of identity in personal development, particular in training. The conversation reveals how our identity shapes our values and beliefs, and ultimately determines the long-term change and success we achieve. Peter shared his perspectives on how training should be viewed and approached. There is an emphasis on understanding how to align the skills, knowledge, and expertise we're teaching someone with who they are. This revelation is based on the understanding that people are consistent with who they are, and tend to resist who they are not. So the efficacy of training lies greatly in how much it resonates with the person's identity. This information would be incomplete without giving a synopsis of Peter's insightful book 'PAID'. It provides guidance on how to leverage the discussed concepts, the keywords being: pricing oneself appropriately, positioning as an expert, providing valuable content, and growing a client base. How do you ensure you're paid what you're worth? Then we dig into strategies for execs looking to move from formal employment to independent consulting. Peter gives a detailed explanation of a successful approach, from the importance of providing incredible value, to setting the right price for the value delivered. There's a lot to learn here. We also talk about ways you can expand your client base, with emphasis on optimising your referral process. Rather than focusing on irregular referrals, setting up a systematic referral process tremendously boosts growth. The keyword for a successful referral system is personal introductions.

Something a little different today. First some background.When Mark Allen isn't chatting golf with Nick O'Hern on the Talk Birdie To Me podcast, often you'll find him having fun with his great mate David 'The Ox' Schwarz over at the Couple of Blokes podcast here.This week, on the Couple of Blokes pod, Marko tells a never before publicly told story about some exceptionally bad behaviour during the 1998 Presidents Cup in Melbourne. Massive names were involved in this particular Presidents Cup: Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Peter Thomson, Greg Norman, Ernie Els, Stuart Appleby and plenty more. But there was one particular player who took bad behaviour and inappropriateness to a level not seen before, and hopefully not seen again.Listen to the excerpt here on Talk Birdie To Me, the excerpt here is safe to listen to - however the full, unedited version, over at the Couple of Blokes pod comes with a language warning, an NSFW warning, and a 'don't listen around the kids' warning. Full story here.Talk Birdie To Me resumes normal transmission next Tuesday, see you then! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

*** Content Warning ***Bonus podcast today. And we have a content warning on this one, it is edgy, there's no way for Marko to tell this particular story without some of those details, and if you are easily offended we suggest you don't listen.This is a very inappropriate golf story that Marko tells about an incident at the Presidents Cup golf in 1998 at Royal Melbourne. This story has, to the best of Marko's knowledge, never been told publicly before. The tournament featured golf legends Greg Norman, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Peter Thomson and plenty of other big names. None of those golfers were the incriminating person in this story by the way, they were completely innocent. Marko has been considering how to tell this story for weeks, months now. Ox and Third Man have refused to allow him to tell it on the normal podcast, it needs to live in a contained bonus podcast where you, our family members, can make your own decision on whether you listen.We'd love you to follow a Couple of Blokes, and get involved with the show on social media: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok. If you've got a comment or feedback, feel free to send a voicemail to Ox and Marko here. And don't forget to subscribe, rate and review the podcast wherever you listen! Hosted on Acast.

Had a great conversation with golf coach Gary Edwin. We discuss how he developed his teaching philosophy over the years and the swings that influenced him the most. This would include the swing patterns of Peter Thomson, Ben Hogan and Kel Nagle.  We also chat about he goes about fixing golf swings, where to look first, and the importance of getting things right at the start. Gary runs his own teaching academy in Queensland, Australia. More can be found at  https://www.garyedwin.com  

Excited for the show today because we're live from the Peter Thomson room at The Australian Golf Centre, it's a great spot and we love it here. Unfortunately we get off to a bad start when Mark Allen makes the claim that ‘golf is a stupid game', and he blames Ben Hogan. Specifically, Ben's book 'The 5 Modern Fundamentals of Golf' which Mark reckons derailed his career.Mark brings up link courses, and how much he loves them, Nick agrees, and Mark gives the best definition of what a ‘link course' means that he's heard. Nick says that he found Links Golf courses very much suited his game and his natural instincts.The Scottish Open. Mark was enthralled by Bob MacIntyre and Rory McIllroy and how it played out, such an exciting finish. Nick and Mark discuss the two iron shots that Rory shot towards the end, and forcing a playoff on 18. Nick loved seeing Rory playing with a persimmon club. Nick and Mark talk about their favourite club, the one that they just couldn't go wrong with.Mark also reveals something he may have stolen from Renaissance Golf Club. We may need to call the authorities, we have a criminal on the show.Burkie from Buninyong calls in with a masterclass suggestion, it's a ripper, and topical given the Scottish Open. Thanks Burkie, a ripper thought and one that Nick was pleased to hook into.Lots of feedback this week, including feedback on Marks comments on ‘gimmes' last week. Plus a very important question about wine. Nick and Mark always love hearing from you, so keep it coming - feedback (good or bad) and questions are always welcome. Plenty of results to run through, Nick has got all of them, including an incident that happened that Mark believes should have resulted in a spectator being ejected.And a fun Top 5 this week with Mark looking at crazy rehearsals before playing a shot. Some of them are ridiculous.Talk Birdie To Me, new episodes weekly wherever you get your podcasts and don't forget to subscribe and you'll never miss an episode!By the way if you've got a friend who is into golf, we'd love you to share the podcast with them, and if you can rate and review us wherever you get your podcasts that would be great.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok.

On this weeks episode, Mark Allen reveals a big theory about Tiger Woods, and he has a reliable source. A theory which, if it comes to fruition, would be fantastic for golf. Nick likes it, and says a world where Tiger is playing is a better world for golf.Onto Rickie Fowler. What a win in Detroit, Nick loved the emotion in the press conference after the game, and the family involvement. Both Nick and Mark are fans, and Nick says that Rickie is one of the tours' nice guys. Nick and Mark discuss the importance of that win, following the disappointment of the US Open.Mark suggests a masterclass following the Detroit tournament at the weekend for Nick, which will be later in the show today.Nick reveals something about Mark's appearance that he has always admired. Came out of left-field to be honest, but hey whatever floats your boat!Bernhard Langer. 65 years old and what a player. Nick and Mark discuss how impressive he is playing over a long time, and this year. Nick reveals an incredible story about Bernhard that he's not spoken about before...it's a ripper! And Nick reveals the nickname he gave Bernhard.Mark tells a great story about the legendary Peter Thomson. Another cracking story that you need to hear.And Nick and Mark discuss the drug testing on tour, when they got you, how it happened.After the turn, Nick runs through a heap of results from the weekend, focusing of course on the Aussies. It goes slightly pear-shaped when the boys try to guess Anthony Quayle's age - and neither of them are correct. Apologies to Anthony.We also discover that Taylor Gooch's caddy has won more this year than Mark made in his entire professional career. Mark is unimpressed.We talk to podcast listener Finn who reached out with a 'bragline' story about his mate Cooper, which the boys love. Keep them coming in! Plenty of feedback this week, including people agreeing with Mark's comments on Keegan Bradley last week. And a conversation around how Tour Pro's count hole in ones.Top 5 this week, Mark counts down the Top 5 most famous cases of the yips that golf has seen. Both Nick and Mark reveal the time that they each had the yips, and what they did about it.We chat to listener Patrick from Sydney who reckons Mark missed an entry on last weeks Top 5, when he counted down the Top 5 US Open shots of all time.And a great masterclass from Nick, one requested by Mark, on how to hit shots taking spin off the ball like Rickie Fowler did at the weekend.Talk Birdie To Me, new episodes weekly wherever you get your podcasts.If you've got a friend who is into golf, we'd love you to share the podcast with them, and rate and review us wherever you get your podcasts.

This week on Need a 4th, Alan Shipnuck and Michael Bamberger are along for the ride as Geoff Ogilvy welcomes an old mate and a fellow Aussie, the golfing polymath Michael Clayton! Michael can do it all. He played for years on the Australian and European tours, he writes about the game with spectacular clarity, his course-design work will stand the test of time, and as you are about to find out, he talks about the game like a Down Under version of Ben Crenshaw, with some Peter Thomson mixed in. Elsewhere at FPC this week, we celebrate golf in the great cultural, financial and sporting capital of Melbourne and we revisit the December fun of the Sandbelt Invitational, the tournament co-founded by Clayton and Ogilvy.  There are few people in the world (if any) who know more about golf in the sand, and golf in Melbourne, than Clayton and Ogilvy. Give a listen and hear for yourself. G'day!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The name Thomson is synonymous with golf, not only in Australia but globally. Five times Open Champion Peter is, of course, one of the game's greats but ask his wife Mary and she'll tell you that you never would have known it. The Peter Thomson the public saw, listened to and read his words was the same Peter Thomson Mary saw at home and the couple enjoyed more than 50 years of marriage, which remained strong from the day they met in the 1960's to Peter's passing in 2018.Mary Thomson is a remarkable woman and in this detailed chat with host Rod Morri, she gives an insight into life with one of golf's greats that few got to see.

Wise words from Peter Thomson. Hard working and dedicated to the ocean.

Composer Sally Beamish tells Anna Bailey why she decided to write a concerto about bees for the BBC Proms. She reveals that Hive was inspired by a ballet that she's collaborating on with her partner, the writer Peter Thomson, who shares her fascination with queen bees.

It was quite an emotional day when I interviewed this week’s guest, the former rugby international turned best-selling author, Peter FitzSimons. Because it was the day after my father died. I’ve written about my Dad, Desmond Zwar, a lot on social media. He was the author of 20 non fiction books, including The Loneliest Man In the World about Rudolf Hess, In Search of Sir Keith Murdoch, This Wonderful World of Golf, where he went on the golf tour with Peter Thomson, and the runaway best seller, Golf: The Dictionary with illustrations by the great Jeff Hook. Dad, an avid reader, was in a nursing home towards the end of his life, so I ran his Kindle account. Whenever he wanted to read another book, I would buy it and sync it into his Kindle. And the last book I bought Dad, and the last book he read, was Peter FitzSimon’s biography of Ned Kelly. So it was strangely appropriate that the day after Dad’s passing, I was interviewing Peter. I didn’t tell him the situation. I didn’t want to make him feel weird. But the coincidence was not lost on me.Some would know Peter from his seven rugby tests with the Wallabies as a lock forward from 1989 to 1990. Others would know him from his columns in the Sydney Morning Herald. But most would have read, or at least threatened to read, one of his 27 books – many of which have become best sellers. There have been the rugby books, which we’ll talk about later, joke books, a book on Nietzsche, historical biographies on Nancy Wake, Kim Beasley, Douglas Mawson, Kingsford Smith, Breaker Morant, and James Cook, and then there have been the books on big subjects like Gallipoli, Kokoda, the Batavia and the Eureka Stockade. And now he’s written The Opera House :The extraordinary story of the building that symbolises Australia. In this interview, we get into the guts of how Peter came to be a writer, the word he most overuses in his books, and how he gave up the grog and managed to fit even more into his day.

Episode 35: Algonquin's Early Beginnings: The first Official Canoe Trips Summer-Fall 1893 In 1893 the Algonquin National Park Act was passed and soon after Peter Thomson was appointed Chief Ranger. In this episode I share his first report of his activities in the summer of 1893. As well is another provided by Mr. James Wilson Superintendent of Queen Victoria Niagara Falls Park who was asked to tour ‘the territory' which he did via canoe during the late fall of 1893. His observations, descriptions and recommendations are for the most part just  as insightful today as they were when reported in early 1894.  This episode's musical interlude is called Forest Song from Dan Gibson's Solitudes' CD called Algonquin Suite.

Lecture summary: The legal regime for deep seabed mining in the international seabed Area is a rare example of the international community joining forces to regulate a potential new industry in the interests of humankind as a whole. As set forth under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the international seabed Area and its mineral resources are the “common heritage of mankind”, on whose behalf the International Seabed Authority (ISA), an autonomous organization established under UNCLOS, is to act. The mandate comes with concomitant obligations for the equitable sharing of financial and other economic benefits and adoption of the necessary measures to ensure the effective protection of the marine environment from the harmful effects of deep-sea mining. Despite this historic legal framework based on visions of equity, common interest, environmental health and prosperity for all, tensions are rising. In late June 2021, the Government of the Republic of Nauru called for the ISA to accelerate its work on regulations for exploitation of deep seabed minerals so that NORI, its sponsored entity, could submit an application for authorization to mine as soon as 2023. Just prior to that, hundreds of marine scientists and policy experts issued a Call for a Pause to Deep-Sea Mining, expressing concern that deep-sea mining could result “in the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning that would be irreversible on multi-generational timescales.” In September 2021, members of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) adopted a resolution calling upon IUCN Member States to support and implement a moratorium on deep seabed mining until specific conditions have been satisfied, including improved scientific understanding, independent review, application of precaution and institutional reforms (IUCN, 2021 WCC Motion 069). Despite recognizing the need for rigorous and binding environmental safeguards, the Secretary General of the ISA has described the rising calls for a moratorium on deep seabed mining in the Area as “anti-science, anti-knowledge, anti-development and anti-international law.” All this is happening at the same time the United Nations is developing a new agreement under UNCLOS for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond national boundaries, and the UN Ocean Envoy, Peter Thomson has called on the global community to recognize the importance of ensuring “synergy between the forthcoming global conferences addressing climate change, biodiversity loss and the well-being of the ocean.” (Open letter by Peter Thomson, UN Special Envoy for the Ocean, to Patricia Espinosa, Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC). The Open Letter further stresses that “the days are gone when any one of these existential challenges can be meaningfully negotiated without bringing the other two to the table.” This presentation will explore these issues in light of the legal regime established under UNCLOS and its 1994 Implementation Agreement, modern environmental norms, procedural principles and current scientific understanding about deep sea ecosystems and the potential impacts of deep seabed mining. It will further describe prior examples of internationally declared “moratoria” or conditional pauses on specific activities. Finally, it will explore some pathways ahead for addressing the potential contradictions between deep sea mining and protection of marine biodiversity beyond national boundaries.

The oceans today face extraordinary threats. But the funding to conserve and restore them is currently extremely limited. We need to make a fundamental shift in how we think about financing ocean conservation. In this first episode, BNCFF manager Dorothée Herr will introduce the world of blended finance; how private sector money unites with public and philanthropy to bridge the funding gap. With special thanks to Peter Thomson, the United Nations Secretary-General's Special Envoy for the Ocean; Torsten Thiele from the Global Ocean Trust; and Melissa Walsh from the Asian Development Bank.
