Feedback: Was the 92 Australian Open really the strongest field in history? Aim Point, LIV, and Mark defames an entire city!
Talk Birdie To MeShow Notes
A bonus feedback pod today, so many messages, comments, emails that we thought we'd smack out another one.
01:00 We start with a number of comments on our YouTube episode a fortnight ago from Nudgee in Brisbane with young Riley Richards and Tour Pro Matty Guyatt. 07:00Aaron has a question about turning pro these days vs when Nick and Mark did.
After the turn...
09:00 A wolfpacker reveals who the Pro was whose bag Jarrod Moseley destroyed after a bad day on the course. 10:00 Andrew on LIV Adelaide 11:00 JJ on LIV 12:00 Steve from California reiterating his invite for the boys to play a round with him in SoCal. Mark acts disgracefully. 13:00 Aim Point 14:00 Royal County Down 15:00 Feedback, and a fun fact, on Mark and Nicks appalling music knowledge from Susannah. Mark proceeds to defame an entire city. 16:00 Craig from the UK has written in with a compliment for Nick and Mark, and a bit of a driveby for Mark. He shares a story of winning some money form a tournament Nick played in. 19:00 Couple of wolfpackers challenge Marks assertion about the 1992 Australian Open field being the strongest field in history. Fighting words.

This is awkward. The show gets off to a poor start when Mark is insensitive to a team member, nearly derailing the entire pod for today. Trouble in paradise.
On the main show this week Nick and Mark were discussing how great Secret Harbour looked for the WA Open, a course designed by Australian legend Graham Marsh, who also designed Kalgoorlie, where the tour was last week. Nick found out in conversation last week that Marshy is redesigning Kennedy Bay in Western Australia - one of Marks favourite courses, and so we thought let's get the man himself on for a quick chat about what he's doing with Kennedy Bay.
Big show today, and we start with a stretching update from Mark. Riveting we know but as that famous golfer Taylor Swift said, the stretchers gonna stretch, stretch, stretch, stretch, stretch.
Well this is extraordinary. At the weekend Kris Clelland was playing at Lynwood Country Club in Pitt Town, Sydney, where he did something quite unbelievable: scoring an Albatross, and then on the next hole an Ace. You read that correctly.
Wolfpacker Andrew has an issue. He's a very good player, however he is plagued by slow starts in comps and always finds himself having to come from behind to perform well. He's after some thoughts from Nick and Mark who, helpfully, are happy to oblige with some actionable tips to improve and ultimately solve this dilemma of Andrews.
