The Yardage Book Podcast

Hello and Welcome Back! It was a pleasure to chat with both 1991 Open Champion Ian Baker-Finch and our homegrown broadcasting extraordinaire, George Harper Junior to reflect on Ryan Fox's amazing win at Royal Birkdale. 
Ian gave great insight on Birkdale as a tournament test, his pride on how Australasia punches far above its weight on the world stage, and what advice he would give Ryan after his maiden major win.
George has unique insight having been a broadcaster with The Open since 2018 and having played a good chunk of golf with Foxy over the years, including a pre-tournament tune up this year at North Berwick.

It was a pleasure to chat with Michael Donaldson again recently. This time chatting about the world of beer and how it in intersects with golf in New Zealand. 
Michael is the author of the beer magazine The Pursuit of Hoppiness and the host of the Third Pint Theory Podcast. It was fascinating to get Michael's insights on how the beer industry has embraced the golf boom here in NZ, and he gave his insights on some of the must-see breweries in the various golfing regions around the country.

Hello and welcome back!
It was a thrill to be joined by Michael Goldstein and Leo Barber as we discussed the best Par 3s in New Zealand. This is my no means an exhaustive list, but we explored the great one-shotters that NZ has to offer from the deep south to far north.
