Ep125🏌🏿‍♂️Tips for Playing Slow or Fast Greens, Justin Rose at The Masters, and Why Does Mark Say a 59 is 'Not Even Worth Rating'

Talk Birdie To Me

Welcome to another feedback pod, these are the episode where you control the topics and we read out your questions and feedback (good and bad)!

We start with a chat about Mark's comments last week that the Rory shot on 5 was the greatest shot ever made. Some wolfpackers have a different view - we won't read them out today, but we'll wait until Nick is back in the studio next week (he's in Cathedral for the school holidays) and we will do a bonus pod on 'the greatest shot ever made in golf'. Fun.

Mark has sent in a pic of a 59 shot by Elvis Smylie at Southport on the Gold Coast, and would like Mark Allen to rate it. Mark does, and is brutal.

Sam's home course has fast greens and he struggles when he plays a course with slow greens...and asks for some tips.

Dale has written in with some 'useless information' (his words not ours) and both pieces are very good. One of Dale's points leads to a chat about young gun Jeffrey Guan and how he is going.

Voicemail sound goes off, and it's a question from wolfpacker Fraser who played golf as a kid, went away, is back now and looking for some tips on how to improve.

Laurie from Indonesia has a comment and question about Justin Rose at The Masters.

Phil has a question about Max Homa and which of all his changes recently has had the most influence.

A lovely message from wolfpacker Niall from Ireland who likes the 'bluntness' that Nick and Mark have when discussing issues.

And finally a comment from Wayne who feels that some of the big names in world golf are off their game during the first couple of months of 2025.

Mark asks Nick if he feels, as contracts come to an end, that any LIV players will want to come back to the PGA, and if he feels any big names from the PGA will leave for LIV.

Keep the questions coming, and remember if you want any feedback on your swing, putting, chipping - anything - send us a video and we'll have a look at it on the show.
