    Unpacking the AAC with Rich Lerner

    03/11/2026 | 1h
    Hello and welcome back! 
    The AAC at Te Arai Links delivered, and it was an absolute pleasure to be onsite for 5 days and watch 9 Kiwis make the cut. However in the end Fifa Laopakdee was too strong for both Zack Swanwick and Cooper Moore as he took a 3 shot victory to claim back to back AAC wins.
    At the start of the episode Mitch Powell and I gave a quick debrief of the event before our interview with broadcasting legend Rich Lerner. Rich gave such great insight on his time in NZ, his thoughts on Te Arai Links, and much more.

    Cooper Moore and Rodney Yee On Preparing for The AAC at Te Arai Links

    26/10/2026 | 45 mins.
    Hello and welcome back! It was a pleasure to have Cooper Moore back on the podcast this week as he prepares for one of the biggest events of the year with the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship at Te Arai Links which kicks off on Thursday. 
    It was great to get Cooper's insight in what has been a pretty spectacular year so far with a runner up at the NZ PGA, Semi-Final at the US Junior Amateur and a spot on the Junior President's Cup Team. On the back half of the Episode we had a great chat with Rodney Yee, who work's primarily out of the Sir Bob Charles Centre and is Cooper's Coach. He gave some background on how he and Cooper started working together and what the last year has been like from his perspective in the lead up to this week at the AAC.
