Ep132🏌🏿‍♂️The Tour Pro Tiger Woods Tells his Son Charlie to Watch; Mark Allen - 'The US PGA Got This Wrong'; and More on Rakes (sigh...)

Talk Birdie To Me

We start today's pod talking about Scottie Scheffler's thumping win in Charlotte, Nick describes Scottie as 'Tiger-esque' at the moment, and Nick and Mark discuss his impressive performance, and some key moments. Mark loves how the year is shaping up with Rory, Scottie notching big wins, and Nick adds Bryson to the conversation as well.

Nick brings up the multi that we had on with Betr. It didn't go well. Rory let us down, and it appears that we were on the wrong JT. Mark is confident that one will come off for the Wolfpack, and he is doubling down on Straka.

Back to Scottie. Mark was impressed, not only with his performance but with how is caddy Ted Scott spoke about how Scottie handled the weekend mentally. Nick outlines what he sees in Scottie's game when he is under pressure. Mark loved the stats that were being provided on Scottie's misses to the left from Trevor Immelman who he describes as an elite golf commentator. We play a video of Scottie's 2nd shot on 15 on Sunday which Mark describes as his best shot of the tournament - but what a follow through! And on swings and follow throughs, who is the tour pro that Tiger tells Charlie to watch?

Nick questions if the LIV guys are getting effective preparation for majors, in playing LIV. Mark raises Jon Rahm and feels if he made the birdie on 14 and 15, the outcome may have been different, both Nick and Mark feel an in-form Rahm is great for golf.

Mudballs. Should they be addresses? Mark says the mudball situation in Charlotte should not have happened. And we discuss Shane Lowry's ball in another player's pitchmark/plughole, Mark feels this should be address, Nick says it is part of the game and it should be left as is.

What about Jhonattan Vegas' shot into a rake! We watch the video and discuss. Mark starts banging on about rakes again. Illegal drivers. Nick and Mark discuss Scottie's and Rory's, and Mark says Rory's non-media appearance was 'shameful'.

Top 5 from Nick on the toughest final 3 holes he's ever played in a major, he runs through them, explains why, and names what he believes is the toughest Par 4 in the world.

Feedback today is largely on the coverage in Australian at the weekend, and on Rory's announcement last week. Plus we have a wolfpacker comment about Kingston Heath that Mark 'refuses to comment on'.

PING globals results from Nick, comprehensive as always, and Marks masterclass which he describes as 'his greatest ever'.
