🏌🏿‍♂️Bonus: Nick & Mark Q&A: Par 3's, Minjee, Slow Play, Rules & 'Snot Blocks'

We love a bonus pod, particularly in weeks when we have lots of feedback or questions from the 'Talk Birdie To Me' Wolfpack, too much to fit into the normal pod, so we smash out a bonus pod! Fun!

Today's a ripper with a few voicemails.

We have a voicemail from Peter who has an idea about allowing more holes to be played as Par 3 holes, leading to a chat about tees.

Voicemail from Steve, and an email from Hugh, both asking about Minjee Lee's form and if it has anything to do with moving to Callaway. Mark talks about how he managed the process of changing clubs to ensure it was not any more difficult than it already was.

An email from Paul asking about coaches teaching techniques to golfers that slow down play, and we discuss the importance of reading greens. Nick tells us was the best green reader he ever saw.

And a voicemail from Jack in Camperdown, Victoria, asking about rule changes, specifically bunker play at his course.

A great pod, that takes a turn for the worse when we discuss Snot Blocks, which Nick has never heard of, and Mark and Dan attempt (badly) to explain what they are.
