Golf Is Ruining My Life

Alright Par Pals 👋

TG is properly poorly and blowing his nose directly into the microphone, so apologies in advance. But stick with it, because this one gets emotional at the end. 🤧

Harrison writes in with a genuine dilemma: his grandad, an avid golfer of 60 years, has passed away and left him his clubs. Does he keep them for the memory, or trade them in for something newer?

Also in this one: the golf crime of asking to play nine instead of eighteen, why there should genuinely be a golfing Tinder for people with no mates to play with, how people game the winter league pairings, and a brilliant "would you rather" from Johnny involving range balls that splits us completely down the middle.

TP is hungover and has a speed awareness course to get to, so this is a brisk one. But there's a genuinely good lesson in it: when you're playing well, do NOT take your foot off the gas. Attack, attack, attack. TG shot 79 yesterday, his first round in the 70s in months, and the two holes where he got defensive cost him everything.

We also get into the handicap divisions debate again, because it turns out the answer might be Stableford points.

Plus, how golf runs in families (and the people who've somehow caught it alone), the unmatched joy of transferring everything into a brand new bag 🎒

Also, we're agonisingly close to 1,000 Spotify reviews. Five stars would be lovely. ⭐

WE'RE BACK with the FINAL episode of series one of Talk Birdie To Me, and we've saved a brilliant one for last. We're joined by Sky Sports commentator, coach and former Ladies European Tour pro Sophie Walker, who played over 150 events on tour, never lost her card, and finished runner up at the Women's Scottish Open. ⛳

She also fixes TP's chipping live on air, explains why pros actually swing at 80%, and gives the single best tip for anyone trying to break 100 for the first time. Plus the truth about why brilliant amateurs so often fail as professionals, TG's disastrous attempt to meet Charley Hull 😬, and her DREAM four ball.

Huge thanks to Golf Now for powering series one. We'll be back in April with series two, and we've got some very big names already booked. 👀

Max emails in with a proper gut-punch of a round at the Rolls of Monmouth (a course he only played because of this podcast, which we're still not over). Three under with one to play, a par needed for a 69, and then Noel Fielding turns up uninvited on the 18th tee. What follows is a seven iron rocketed 50 yards right into a river. His reaction is the entire lesson.

We also get into the annual membership renewal punch in the guts 💸 (TP has done the maths on what each round actually costs him and immediately regretted it), and TG has found driver again simply by slowing down for the first three holes.

Plus, why we all play better at a course we've never seen before, advice for Ben whose mate shoots ten shots better than everyone and still moans about it, and TP opens a Hoover bag live on air because the content well is officially dry. 🧹

Something a bit different this week. We've invited Rob Jerram and Alex Perry from Today's Golfer back on, because for once we'd quite like to talk to people who actually know what they're talking about. We've also invested in a giant wheel of topics, which we spin to decide what we discuss. It works about as well as you'd expect.

Plus: Rory shoots 60 in the Wednesday pro-am and we debate whether that's actually a good thing, a genuinely lovely story of Rory and Erica having a coffee while Poppy scoots down the first hole 🥹, and the Michael McIntyre range incident that explains exactly why the pros hate pro-ams. 😬
