POPULARITY
This week is US Open week for the women, and there are a bunch of Aussies playing, a couple with a real shot, we discuss who might be able to win. Nick is veeeery confident about one particular golfer given the nature of the Riviera course, and how it may suit them. Nick gives Mark an impromptu pop quiz on how many Australians, and who they are, have won at Riviera, and we talk about how the course is set up.Nick and Mark discuss the 10th hole, one of Nicks faves, which leads to a chat about unusual golf holes, ones that course designers wouldn't be able to build today for fear of being laughed out of the room....we list a few.Memorial this weekend, and it's a big one, honouring the legendary David Graham this year....well deserved and very exciting.Mark was fascinated by Bryson's use of AI to help him with an issue at the weekend, and discusses what happened with Nick. Mark then decides to see if AI, ie: Grok, can help Nick with some tips to get more width in his swing. Results are mixed it's fair to say. But, Mark has been watching some YouTube instructional videos and trying some stuff out....his masterclass today on one thing he's been trying that seems to have worked well.For Hostplus, this weeks 'Plus for Golf' is the US Womens Open being at Riveria, it's a great course, and the tournament will be sensational. Nick nominates Joaquin Niemann as the BMW Touch of Class winner this week for something he did in Korea....and it wasn't when he was playing.After the turn, Nick's Top 5 for Betr is the Top 5 celebrations he has seen in golf....there are some rippers!For Southern Golf Club....feedback today. Lots on Bryson and his decision on where he might play next season, heaps of feedback on Slow Play, including one bit of feedback from a superstar Australian sportsperson (not golf) who has written in, and we have received a video from wolfpacker David in the UK on something concerning that he saw in the Byron Nelson a couple of weekends ago, and wants the boys view.Heaps to discuss in the PING Globals, lots going on, and we debate Russell Henley's ranking....we think he might be Top 10, but are unsure where....so we check on the Find My Player app. He's quite under rated, including by us apparently!And finally the masterclass for the Golf Clearance Outlet, Mark has a tip he's found on YouTube, and he is tweaking his takeaway a touch, is it working? He seems pretty happy!And tomorrow, for Hostplus, a fantastic episode - we host the incredible Dottie Pepper on Talk Birdie To Me, that is an unmissable ep!We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Hostplus, Talk Birdie To Me's official retirement partnerBMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;The Find My Player app - follow every player on every tour;And Southern Golf Club.

We must apologise for the start of today's pod. Mark and Dan were ready to go, Nick was extremely unprofessional and decided to send a text just as the show began, so there's a slight delay while Nick finishes his extremely important, far more important than Mark, Dan and the Wolfpackers, text message.But...once we get through this hiccup in the Talk Birdie Zen, we get on with the show! JH has a request for Nick and Mark which the boys don't mind....and this leads onto a chat about a very famous, and very funny, movie that Nick has (embarrassingly) never seen !?!?!?! He really is having a shocker today. Onto Andrew, who has a comment on 'golf farces'. Tony heard Mark talking about his desire to travel to Ireland, and has some course suggestions for him. Whilst in the UK, Craig played the London Club last week and gives a report on the conditions. Trevor has messaged us about slow play and aim point, and believes a particularly massive Tour Pro is guilty of the former - but is a protected species.Mark has been shopping on Temu again....sheez.Alex has a question. His club head speed isn't great and he has found a way around it that works for him, and is interested in Nick and Marks thoughts on it. Peter watched John Senden play a few months back in the Australian Open, with Parkinsons, Peter also plays with Parkinsons and has asked if we can get Sendo on the pod to chat about how he does it, some of the tools he uses. Mark tells a great story about playing with Sendo in New Zealand where a shot went extremely pear-shaped.And Chris from Toronto writes in to let us know he enjoys watching the pod on YouTube, and has a recommendation for another pod we should check out....we've not heard of it, but when we google it, it is massive!We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Hostplus, Talk Birdie To Me's official retirement partnerBMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And Southern Golf Club.

We start today's show as we did last week - by congratulating Hannah Green, 3 wins in a row and she appears well on track for a major in 2026. Nick and Mark discuss how she looks so comfortable and in control at the moment, Nick awards Hannah the Hostplus 'That's a Plus' for golf this week...hard to argue.Matt Fitzpatrick played beautifully at Valspar to win, he's in great form. However it wasn't all smooth sailing as he was frustrated by the slow play of his playing partner Adrien Dumont de Chassart who played with the speed of a slow moving turtle. Matt has spoken about this before, and he was clearly unhappy after the tournament - and rightly so. Nick and Mark discuss what the punishment should be, and why the powers that be seem to never do anything about it.An alarming story, that Nick and Mark were unaware of until they saw it on the Monday Q Twitter account about a young Tour Pro being banned for 6-months for cheating, however playing in a tournament in China at the weekend. We talk through the problems with this, and how the governing bodies could better approach it (rather than keeping it secret) to both act as a deterrent and a punishment, but also provide a path to redemption for one mistake.Jon Rahm's appeal has been dropped, what does it mean for the Ryder Cup?Rory McIlroy's menu for The Masters dinner is all over the internet, we discuss it - particularly the wine. Nick awards the BMW Touch of Class to the wine list. Leads to a chat about Nick and Mark playing at the weekend with Hostplus honcho's David and Mark at Victoria Golf Club, and particularly how it ended in the clubhouse!After the turn, Nick lists his Top 5 fast swings on the PGA Tour for Betr.Then into feedback for Southern Golf Club: feedback today on Tiger, Cheating from Tour Pros, clarity on our legal terminology that we mangled last week, Hawthorn's Mitch Lewis and his amazing round at PK North last week, and lots of comments on Radar - including some feedback from one particularly big name!Nick takes us around the world in the PING Global results, and Mark's masterclass for Sam and the team at the Golf Clearance Outlet is inspired by something Ludvig Åberg does in his pre-shot routine.

Welcome to yet another Victory Monday episode of The Shotgun Start! Andy and Brendan went LIVE on YouTube on Monday morning to recap the Valspar, LIV South Africa, and more. Andy and PJ are rolling into the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament, so a brief Basketball Minute kicks off the show. Brendan shares some tales from his experience at the first round in Philadelphia, where he learned that UConn might be the new Duke for kids growing up in the 2020s. Andy continues to tout the Big 10's supremacy and that even extends to golf! Northwestern's own Matt Fitzpatrick avenged his loss at The Players by winning the Valspar Championship, his first PGA Tour win since 2023. Despite Brendan's uncertainty that we need an event the week after The Players going up against the NCAA Tournament, the Valspar delivered with a tight finish on Sunday. The two discuss Fitzy's win and continued ascendance back into the game's top tier, something that was improbable to judge at this time last year. They also give Fitzpatrick credit for calling out the slow play of his playing partner, fellow Big 10 legend Adrien Dumont de Chassart. Strong showings from Brandt Snedeker, Marco Penge, Brooks Koepka, and Jordan Smith are mentioned before Andy and Brendan give the Valspar some credit for being a different test than what is presented week-to-week on the PGA Tour. The biggest win in golf came at LIV South Africa as Bryson DeChambeau secured his second-straight playoff victory. He defeated Jon Rahm in the individual playoff and also led the Crushers to the team title, taking down the Southern Guards in their home event. Bryson was quite emotional throughout the week and Andy highlights that DeChambeau finds himself in his best form entering Augusta in recent memory. South Africa seemed like it was a massive success as a host for a LIV event, but Brendan wonders if these sellouts in Australia and South Africa are making the league truly viable. Jon Rahm, the loser of this week's playoff, has dug in even further in his fight with the DP World Tour and his 2027 Ryder Cup status is now really in jeopardy. Elsewhere in golf, LPGA's Founders Cup provided some great visuals and possible safety hazards, an American won on the DP World Tour, and the Champions Tour found a new level of social media innovation. Things wrap up with a brief bit of news on more PGA Tour scheduling possibilities and a further delay of the rollback by the USGA.
Matt Fitzpatrick immediately bounced back from his Players heartbreak to win the Valspar Championship, and overcame some seriously slow play from his playing partner to do it. Plus, an interview with ESPN TGL host Matt Barrie, an explanation of an odd putting theory and the streets are saying that it's time to ban the mallet. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Rachel and Paul first met on Hinge a few weeks ago and she tells us that they did take things a little slow at first. Rachel tells us that they would talk and DM all the time and she thought things were going well. However, Rachel hasn’t heard from Paul in over a week and she isn’t sure why. We call Paul trying to figure out if there is anything else between him and Rachel that happened that may have caused things to go wrong and he tells us that he wasn’t a fan of how much he had to over-extend setting up a date between the two of them. Find out what’s really going on in this Second Date Update! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In recent days, the Tour announced policy changes on a topic that is often the source of complaint: slow play. But the changes they announced were certainly not what many hoped: indeed, they seem to be more tolerant of slow play than before. What's the purpose of these changes? Why are Tour players so slow? And how might the changes affect the viewing experience for golf fans? Greg, Lou, and mark tackle these questions in today's episode.For the best price on the HackMotion sensor, use code GOLFSALE at www.hackmotion.com.Where to find us:Mark Crossfield's weekly newsletter: https://www.crossfieldgolf.com/subscribeMark Crossfield on Twitter: https://twitter.com/4golfonlineMark Crossfield on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/4golfonlineLou Stagner's weekly newsletter: https://newsletter.loustagnergolf.com/subscribeLou Stagner on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LouStagnerGreg Chalmers on Twitter: https://twitter.com/GregChalmersPGAThe Hack It Out Golf Podcast on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HackItOutGolf Learn more about your ad choices.

It's a true Monday episode thanks to the PGA Tour's refusal to move up Sunday tee times with storms forecasted, arriving, and then pushing the Heritage finish to Monday morning. They begin there, fresh off watching Scottie Scheffler move his way around a windy Harbour Town for a fourth win in five starts. They marvel at the achievement while also pondering which one of his peers may be feeling the most anxious about this run and the appearance of it not ending anytime soon. They also discuss some deluded Wyndham Clark comments on TV ratings and the mismanagement of the Monday finish. Then it's over to the dominant LPGA player of the moment, Nelly Korda, who won her fifth straight start and second career major. They ponder whether this makes the Chevron a “true” major and what has been most impressive about the run, including overcoming a six-hour round alongside Brooke Henderson. They ask which run might be more impressive, a debate not really worth having. Then it's on to the happy development in the DR, where Billy Horschel won the white shirt-jacket. They delight in this, and also check in on the results of the sponsor's exemptions for Puntacana. Lastly, they close with the 15-year-old Miles Russell making the cut and finishing T20 on the KFT.
It's Friday! And the one before Masters week at that, which has both Andy and Brendan feeling a bit of anxiety or regret about some corners they've staked out relative to that major championship. They ramble around on that and the news that Rory McIlroy saw Butch Harmon, JT has split up with Bones, and another “global superstar” is looking for a mental coach. At Valero, they discuss Rory looking burly, Spieth's quotes about his scores not reflecting his quality of play, and the crowd in Charley Hoffman t-shirts. At the Augusta National Women's Amateur, they discuss the slow play penalty that knocked a former champion to the wrong side of the cut line and if that example will be made the next week with the men's pros. There's also news of a scoring kerfuffle. The back half of the podcast covers a bevy of quotes coming from LIV, beginning with some refreshing clarity and honesty from Anthony Kim about where he's been, his struggles, not knowing who won any majors since he's been gone, and how forgiving equipment now is compared to when he left. They also discuss Bryson's urgent plea that the game must be brought back together and Phil's similar quotes on disruption.
