We dug up 17 different ways to play private golf clubs without being a member — and some of them might surprise you. In this episode of The Golf Podcast we reveal 17 ways to play private golf clubs without being a member, including some strategies you may have never considered. Every golfer has a bucket-list course they'd love to experience, but getting access to exclusive private golf clubs can seem nearly impossible. We break down everything from the obvious routes—like receiving a member invitation, playing in charity golf outings, and entering tournaments—to lesser-known strategies such as writing directly to a club, leveraging relationships with golf professionals, joining golf societies, becoming a course rater, exploring reciprocal club privileges, and finding stay-and-play exceptions. We also share stories from our own experiences gaining access to some of the most exclusive golf courses in America and explain why networking, being respectful, and simply asking can sometimes open unexpected doors. Whether you're hoping to play a prestigious local country club or dreaming about checking one of America's top private golf courses off your bucket list, these tips can help you find opportunities you didn't know existed. Plus, we discuss which strategies actually work, which ones require some luck, and a few approaches we'd recommend using with caution.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

A Monday Mini today, and we chat with wolfpacker Kell who has a couple of questions for Nick and Mark.Kell is from Sydney and was a junior at Moore Park, which has been in the news for the wrong reasons lately with the NSW government making some appalling decisions, and Kell starts with a fantastic snapshot of how he started learning and enjoying golf at Moore Park, and of his school holidays spent at the course. So good. Kell describes what has happened to Moore Park as 'really sad', Mark describes it as a 'shiteshow'. Both are correct and what has happened to Moore Park is nothing short of a disgrace.But onto Kell's questions.Kell watched Nick and Mark play The Lakes a few times, and followed them around, and his first question is around their early years as pros, and how they initially felt playing with the big guys, how they grew into feeling as though they belonged, and when they felt like contemporaries rather than the young guys making their way.Mark explains his career trajectory onto the tour, and Nick talks through his - both were different. Nick identified three areas that he had to address when he turned pro, and he focused on them right away. He explains what they were and why they were important. He talks about 'levelling up' his golf, and 'sliding door' moments.Mark talks about his first pro tournament, where he finished high up, and then proceeded to miss 13 cuts in a row, and had to turn that around (he did).Both Nick and Mark kick around some of the wonderful tournaments that existed back then, and how much they loved playing them.Kell's second question is about his driving, he's having trouble off the tee at the moment and he recently heard Nick talking about how much he loves his current Driver, and asks Nick about that, and his setup, Nick obliges. Mark discusses Driver technique, and talks about the difference length (of the driver) can make.A fantastic Monday Mini with Kell today, keep your comments and questions coming in, we love them!

A bonus Talk Birdie To Me Mini today, which comes following a question from wolfpacker Dave who wrote:Hi Nick and Mark, Watching the Wyndham Championship, I noticed Tony Finau putting one-handed. Apparently he struggles with short putts and he tried it based on Tiger's well-known one-handed practice drills. He made the cut so I guess it worked! I thought it might make a good discussion - weirdest putting styles of Tour Pros. Here's one for starters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSd0a2NjftkLove the pod! Thanks, Dave.So we decided to kick it around on the show.

Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse was standing over a par putt this summer when his phone rang: LeBron James was calling. Basketball and golf constantly overlap for Nurse, who the sports world now knows as James' new coach. But most don't know that he is also a golf course owner. On this episode of the TGJ Podcast, Nurse joins Tom Coyne to talk about rescuing his course (Carroll National GC in Iowa), what 40 rounds at Disney during the 2020 NBA bubble playoffs in Orlando did for his game, and why the Philly golf scene may have had something to do with LeBron's decision to sign. This wide-ranging conversation shows a different side of the coach everyone will soon be watching.The Golfer's Journal and this podcast are made possible by reader support.

LIV Golf just pulled off a stunning comeback—but is this really a new beginning or just buying more time? In this episode of The Golf Podcast, we react in real time to one of the biggest twists in professional golf as LIV Golf appears to secure the massive investment needed to survive into 2027 and beyond. Just days after reports suggested the league was on the verge of bankruptcy, Scott O'Neill announced that a lead investor has signed on, with additional investors reportedly interested in supporting LIV's future. We break down what this means for LIV Golf 2.0, including the rumored $250–300 million investment, a reduced 10-event schedule, player equity ownership, potential roster changes, and how stars like Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm could fit into the league's long-term plans. We also discuss whether the 2026 season finale in Michigan is still in jeopardy, what this restructuring means for LIV's financial future, and whether a new relationship with the PGA Tour is now possible. Is this the comeback that saves LIV Golf, or simply a temporary lifeline before even bigger challenges arrive? Join us as we analyze the latest breaking news, debate what comes next, and share our predictions for the future of professional golf.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

Slightly different episode today as Nick is in New Zealand on holidays for a week or so with the family, so it sounds a tad different to usual, but plenty to discuss as always!01:00Nick is in Millbrook, near Queenstown in New Zealand and gives us a snapshot of what he's doing and how it looks (hint: it is beautiful!)02:00Royal Lytham hosted the WOmens Open, and Shiho Kuwaiti had a stunning playoff win to claim the title.

They discuss their experiences playing the course, and what they'd love to see improved.12:00Nick talks about playing Cypress with surfer Kelly Slater.14:00Plenty of LIV news. We discuss their search for sponsorships, and Mark is doubtful that the eyeballs will be enough for the money they want given LIV 'only worked in 2 or 3 markets'. 20:00LIV's player payments are reportedly unpaid, which does not bode well22:00Nick awards our BMW Touch of Class to Donald Trump for his 'humility' in 'winning' the Club Championship at Bedminster.

He also defines great renovations in a slightly ususual way....37:00Okay - during the Turn we saw some breaking news from our mates at Flushing It Golf about LIV, specifically that they have given a number of employees and contractors notice that their employment will end in September. We discuss this evolving story which will develop further over the coming days.39:00Nick runs through the Global results highlights.42:30Feedback for Southern Golf Club....phew okay....last weeks Top 5 swings got a mountain of feedback, and we run through some of the names you said should be there.

A Monday Mini today, and it is inspired by a comment from a wolfpacker who listened to our recent Graham Marsh episode, where Swampy talked about his career - including significant work designing golf courses. They suggested Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen should design a golf course....and we thought, okay, if Nick and Mark were to design a course what elements would they make sure were there, what style of course would it be, what would they build?So we asked.What are the must have elements?What par would the course be, and would it be different in tournament golf (of course).We pick the mix of par 3's, 4's, 5's.Are there any holes at other courses that they might take inspiration from?And a sideline where we chat about the time when Metropolitan Golf Course hosted the World Matchplay, Mark tells a couple of stories.Nick muses over whether the opening hole should be a 'warm handshake' or a 'kick in the teeth'.Mark is a fan of having a quirk on the course, he names a couple of quirks that he likes. He also would like plaques around the course, so it is 'dripping with history'.We discuss the style of clubhouse we'd build, and some of the elements that would be included in the clubhouse.Would there be a driving range? Mark is keen on having a Team Matchplay comp at the course.Nick is keen for the final hole to be a risk/reward hole. Mark agrees, as long as it is not a big green.So there it is. In about 15 minutes, Nick and Mark have designed a cracking golf course (and club house). Now we just need to find $100 million or so and we can build it !Let us know if you reckon we've missed anything that should be included in the course, or if you disagree with any of the inclusions.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;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.

LIV Golf may be filing for bankruptcy—but could a $250 million investment save the league before it's too late? In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down the biggest and most confusing LIV Golf story yet as reports emerge that the league is preparing for a potential bankruptcy filing while, at the very same time, other reports claim LIV has secured up to $250 million in new investment to keep the league alive. We unpack what these seemingly contradictory headlines really mean, why bankruptcy doesn't necessarily signal the end of LIV Golf, and how a restructuring could pave the way for a dramatically different LIV Golf 2.0 built around player equity and outside investors. We also discuss what this could mean for stars like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, whether players would choose ownership over guaranteed contracts, and if the league can realistically survive with a leaner schedule and reduced purses. Plus, we revisit the mystery surrounding LIV's Michigan Team Championship after reports of its cancellation stalled without an official announcement, and debate whether a last-minute funding deal could change everything. Is LIV Golf truly on the verge of collapse, or is this simply the next chapter in its evolution? Join us as we separate fact from speculation and examine what could be the most pivotal moment in LIV Golf's short but turbulent history.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

LIV Golf's season finale may be on the brink of cancellation—and its reported survival plan could completely reshape the league. In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down the latest signs that LIV Golf may be nearing a major turning point, including reports that its 2026 Team Championship in Michigan could be cancelled. With the event only weeks away and no grandstands, hospitality areas, concert stage, or other major tournament infrastructure in place, we examine why the season finale now appears highly unlikely to happen. We also discuss Martin Kaymer's claim that the Michigan event has only a five percent chance of being played, along with questions surrounding the future of the Indianapolis event. From there, we explore another major setback for LIV Golf: the Asian Tour's new partnership with the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, which could weaken LIV's promotion, relegation, and world ranking pathways. We then analyze LIV Golf's reported survival plan for 2027, including fewer tournaments, smaller purses, reduced payouts, and increased equity opportunities for star players. Finally, we play Buy or Sell and debate whether LIV Golf will survive, whether the PGA Tour is stronger because of LIV, whether players matter more than tours, whether LIV golfers should be welcomed back without penalties, and whether team golf still has a future in the professional game.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

Sam Darnold won Super Bowl LX, then skipped the late-night shows, rode the teacups at Disneyland hungover, did a shift at Raising Cane's, and went home to play golf. In this episode, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback and Broken Tee Society member joined Casey Bannon live in the BTS App to talk about life after the Lombardi, the YouTube golf channel he's launching with Josh Allen, Kyle Allen, and Christian Kirk, and an epic Death Valley golf trip where a random naked man sent the group to bed clutching 9-irons. He also covers his golf origin story (a 60-degree wedge to a friend's forehead at the San Clemente Muni), what he would've changed about the Super Bowl (playing better), and his definitive ranking of the best hangs in golf.The Golfer's Journal and this podcast are made possible by reader support.

The warning signs are piling up for LIV Golf—but is the league really finished, or is there still a path forward? In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down the latest trouble surrounding LIV Golf, including a new $1 million lawsuit alleging unpaid licensing and usage fees, Jon Rahm's noncommittal response when asked whether he expects to play for LIV in 2027, and the growing questions about the league's long-term future. With LIV returning after a nearly two-month hiatus, we discuss whether these developments could represent the final nail in the coffin—or whether the league can still secure the investment and sponsorship needed to survive. We also examine LIV Golf's lasting impact on professional golf, from larger PGA Tour purses and greater player influence to schedule changes, international expansion, and the continued debate over team golf. Then we play “Win or Lose” to determine how LIV's disruption has affected LIV players, PGA Tour stars, the PGA Tour itself, golf fans, major championships, and tournament sponsors. Plus, we revisit Bryson DeChambeau's controversial two-stroke penalty at The Open, his public response to the ruling, and whether the incident risks undoing the image transformation he has built through recent success and his popular YouTube channel. Was the penalty justified, did Bryson handle it poorly, and will LIV Golf still exist in 2027? We debate it all.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

Playing a private golf club for the first time? Here are the unwritten rules that can help you fit in, respect your host, and hopefully get invited back. In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down the unwritten rules of playing a private golf club for the first time. Getting invited to a private country club can be exciting, but it can also feel intimidating if you do not know what to expect. We cover the etiquette every guest should know before arriving, including how to research club policies, what to ask your host, where to go when you pull in, how to handle the bag drop, and why you should avoid changing shoes in the parking lot. We also discuss private club dress codes, cell phone rules, tipping etiquette, caddies, pro shop purchases, and how to properly return the favor after someone hosts you. Once you are on the course, we explain why pace of play matters so much, how to respect the golf course, and how to make the most of the full private club experience without overstepping. Whether you are playing your first private club, visiting an exclusive country club, or hoping to get invited back, this episode will help you feel prepared, respectful, and ready to enjoy the day.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.
