Golf Is Ruining My Life

GORDON SMART | The Most Nerve-Shredding Tee Shot In Golf History 😳 #TalkBirdieToMe

Golf Is Ruining My Life

Show Notes

WE'RE BACK with a new episode of Talk Birdie To Me

This week we're joined by broadcaster and proud Scotsman, Gordon Smart. 30 minutes of chat about learning to grip a club with his grandad, the perfect golf handicap (spoiler: he agrees with us) and quite possibly the most horrendous first tee experience ever told on this show, hungover at Sunningdale, following Geoff Hurst, Jimmy Tarbuck and Lee Sharpe. 😳

We also hear how golf got him through losing his voice and his job in lockdown, playing the Old Course in reverse (something Tiger's never done), his run-in with Sean Connery at a urinal 🍺 and his DREAM four ball. 👀

Alright Par Pals 👋

Oct 11, 2026

A genuinely miserable 72 hours in our golfing lives. TP bent the entire world to get to the medal (dog walked, kids’ football sorted, chipping practised) and then shot 15 over, went in six bunkers, lost a ball under a bridge in three feet of leaves and announced on the fifth that he was going home. 😩
