Monday Mini: Nick O'Hern - 'Three things I had to fix in my Golf Game when I turned Pro'.

A Monday Mini today, and we chat with wolfpacker Kell who has a couple of questions for Nick and Mark.

Kell is from Sydney and was a junior at Moore Park, which has been in the news for the wrong reasons lately with the NSW government making some appalling decisions, and Kell starts with a fantastic snapshot of how he started learning and enjoying golf at Moore Park, and of his school holidays spent at the course. So good. Kell describes what has happened to Moore Park as 'really sad', Mark describes it as a 'shiteshow'. Both are correct and what has happened to Moore Park is nothing short of a disgrace.

But onto Kell's questions.

Kell watched Nick and Mark play The Lakes a few times, and followed them around, and his first question is around their early years as pros, and how they initially felt playing with the big guys, how they grew into feeling as though they belonged, and when they felt like contemporaries rather than the young guys making their way.

Mark explains his career trajectory onto the tour, and Nick talks through his - both were different. Nick identified three areas that he had to address when he turned pro, and he focused on them right away. He explains what they were and why they were important. He talks about 'levelling up' his golf, and 'sliding door' moments.

Mark talks about his first pro tournament, where he finished high up, and then proceeded to miss 13 cuts in a row, and had to turn that around (he did).

Both Nick and Mark kick around some of the wonderful tournaments that existed back then, and how much they loved playing them.

Kell's second question is about his driving, he's having trouble off the tee at the moment and he recently heard Nick talking about how much he loves his current Driver, and asks Nick about that, and his setup, Nick obliges. Mark discusses Driver technique, and talks about the difference length (of the driver) can make.

A fantastic Monday Mini with Kell today, keep your comments and questions coming in, we love them! Hit em well !!
