Hi Rick, I too have a hole in one story. About 3 weeks ago I scored a hole in one at my local course here in Ontario, Canada on the 7th hole of Trehaven Golf & Country Club. I’ve always said if I get a hole in one I’ll quit the game as obviously you can’t get any better, never expecting to get one! The hole is 154 yards and the green is below the fairway so you don’t see it. I’m a below average golfer that has totally enjoyed just about every aspect of the game - except losing golf balls. I said after hitting a 5 iron (Cleveland Turbo Launcher hybrid) that I may have hit the flag pole - to which the others all laughed. According to an app I purchased (SwingU) i have an handicap of 18.6 based on some kind of formulae over the last 20 rounds. Anyway back to the story - we the group I was golfing with got over the little hill at the end of the fairway and I could see 3 balls but not mind. The green has a nasty slope and I assumed that I’d simple run off the back - so with one of the others I proceeded to look behind the green for my ball. There’s a low thick hedge behind the green and if the ball was there - there would be no point to look for it. So I was in the process of dropping a ball back there. While we were looking the two ladies that were now on the green decided to putt out and when the first one sank her ball she proceeded to retrieve it and to her surprise there was another ball in the hole. She yelled out to me, what ball are you hitting? To which I replied a yellow (Colour blind some call lime green) Taylor Made #2. To all of our surprise it was there! The rest of the round was pretty unremarkable and I told them I should have kept to my promise of quitting after getting the hole in one. The next week I did golf once again and once again nothing special and a higher than usual score. But here’s the crutch of my story - the following week (now 12 days ago) I’ve suffered a stroke and have lost my balance. I’m not sure if I will ever be able to play again and in fact not until today I wasn’t sure I’d watch any golf or watch any of Rick’s pod casts or other presentations. So I’m happy to announce I truly enjoyed your show today and thanks for making a tough day fun.

Hi rick & guy about twenty years ago my father & I were playing rounday nine hole golf course in Leeds, we were finishing off the number 8 a par 4 down hill driveable blind shot, these guys behind us were right up our arses and we're a bit impatience, as we were holing out a ball came flying over the hill to land on the green and roll up to the hole resting 3 inches away from what would of been an albertross, but definitely tap in eagle. My old fella was vexed and walked over to there ball and nonchalantly putted it into a nearest bunker, they didn't shout out fore! I walked up to triangle ⛛ bell and hit it with iron rod for a good loud five seconds, then we made our way sheepishly to the nineth tee daring not to look back, then to proceed to get out of dodge city. To this day I wonder if the guy who played the fantastic shot is still perplexed and scratching head of how his ball ended up in a bunker.

It seems that we are more used to seeing money tied with winning in golf and when LIV gives the money without the players winning first, we feel awkward about it.

Maybe we need to change our mindset about how golf players are paid.

The issue isn't the money. No one debates that golfers are underpaid relative to other major sports. It's the only sport where someone can call themselves a "professional" but not actually make any money. That needs reform. The issue with LIV is the SOURCE of the money.

Ill go the opposite way, esports is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the past 10 years. More significantly in the last 5. A tech infused new golf league will bring in so many new, younger, fans that don't otherwise watch golf right now. If it runs in parallel to the tour it will never replace real golf, just pop up as a faster paced "more fun" option for golf fans as well as a way to introduce new fans. I think the "golden format" to bring in new younger fans is actually basically what Good Good have been able to do and what some pros (Bryson for example) are adopting in their free time. Higher energy, fun, unique match ideas but maintaining a respectful and mature attitude to tie into current golf culture. Its reaching a section of the population that "traditional" golf tournaments on TV will never touch. Same idea that some people love sports but can't watch baseball or soccer. If you know the sport you don't mind watching the slower matches because you understand what's going on. But to an outsider, its just slow and boring with nothing happening.

Watching this down in Aus, massive fan of all Aus/NZ golfers but i honestly do believe that C.Smith signed for LIV with there being a commitment to play an event in AUS. He is very much an Aussie to the extent that this year he is coming to play in some Australian events that aren’t affiliated with either the PGA or DP world tour. Just an extra thought to the discussion with C.SMITH and LIV.

I think they need to do Liv VS PGA. The views would be through the roof and massivly benefit both franchises

I completely agree with them talking about money WAY more. They even talked about how the everyone in the field was going to make 500k. And they showed many graphs about the winning between the top 10 and of the ties that would happen and the money they would earn

With LIV golf being “all about money” right now it doesn’t bother me. Truly almost all professions are available to do what you love and provide for your self and your family. Once the dust settles I think the golf will shine through, despite LIV seemingly being all about money right now.

Another great podcast. I do have one question though. I've been playing golf for a good year now I dropped from a 52 handicap to 25 now. I was thinking when would be a good time to have some new clubs fitted? I now play regular graphite shaft but have a feeling they are quite whippy. Grtz Nick
@svalliance83732 жыл бұрын
getting fitted at 25 would be nice but a waste of money, for you to lower your handicap even more will require many more changes in your grip and swing, way to early for a fitting, once you get to single digits would be the time for that
@stephenfowler41152 жыл бұрын
@@davesober2093 Don't worry about a fitting just yet. You're right about the regular flex shafts. Just get your current shafts replaced by stiff flex shafts.

"Rory only won 18' million dollars"....Here I'll fixed that for ya Guy, hang on a sec .....Rory "earned" 18 million dollars "by winning". It wasn't given to him as promotion or as some kinda come be my friends or join my harem type of thing. He played great golf and earned the prizes for it. Well done !!.. what a simple premise, no skipping the ques or a get rich quick scheme.

It would be even cooler if it was somewhat interactive with viewing fans. People could form their own virtual leagues and play along.
