Ep217: LIV Golf: the latest on the funding and criteria. Fedex Cup - Players who missed out. And Bryson being Bryson again.

Welcome to this weeks Main Talk Birdie To Me, and as usual there are plenty of things to discuss in the world of golf.

01:00Mark raises Cam Davis' form, he really has fallen off a cliff, and Nick and Mark discuss what is happening with Cam.

02:00Lots of LIV news, and it really seems to change almost daily. What to make of it? Nick and Mark discuss the latest news on the LIV funding situation, and the criteria around said funding - specifically that it appears contingent on the key players re-signing with LIV.

07:00We touch on next weeks Claude Harmon 3rd chat, which we recorded this week and will publish next Tuesday....it's a ripper!

09:00The next LIV events

10:30Nick was in New Zealand last week and bumped into Elvis Smylie in Queenstown.

11:30The Fedex Cup, we discuss a few of the players who missed out, and do a deeper dive on Jason Day.

15:00This week our Hostplus 'Plus for Golf' goes to Brooks Koepka, for an unusual reason. Nick explains.

17:00Nick says Tiger was the master of never making excuses when he played poorly, and we discuss Jack's consistent position that he never 3-putted in a tournament, or something along those lines.

20:00Our BMW Touch of Class goes to a legendary figure in South Australian golf who we lost this last week - Nick McCormack OAM.

After the turn:

23:30Nick's Top 5 for Betr is the Top 5 players that he'd like to see turn their form around.

28:00Feedback for Southern Golf Club, we have comments and questions on LIV and the player departures, OCM and Cypress Point, Marks comments about the Cypress bunkers, and some suggestions for Nick and Mark's bespoke designed golf course.

38:00Nick talks about he has never played golf in Tasmania, Mark shares some memories of playing there.

40:00Feedback on the Cathedral Invitational, there's been plenty of positives, and a couple of negatives - we deal with the negatives front on.

43:00Nick takes us through the global result highlights from the last week or so.

47:30There's been another 59! Mark rates it on his 'patent pending official Talk Birdie To Me 59 ranker'.

49:00We look at, and discuss, an hilarious premature 'anti-celebration'.

51:00And for the Golf Clearance Outlet, todays masterclass from Mark is on playing bunker shots out of thick, wet, sand.
