Guest: Peter Senior - 'I'm the King of Spain!', and He Reveals the Person Who 'Resurrected My Career' When He'd Lost the Enjoyment

Well this is exciting. Today for Hostplus we're hosting a legend - Australian golfing superstar Peter Senior joins Nick and Mark for a chat about his brilliant career, what he's doing now, and his plans for the next phase of life.

Pete talks about his tournament wins, the ones where he came close, and his time on the Troppo tour. We specifically ask about 1989 which was a year where everything went right. Pete describes that year as having a 5 or 6 week period where he believed he could not hit a bad shot, it was a real purple patch.

Nick talks about one aspect of his game that he changed directly as a result of watching Pete, and he talks about being a 'victim' of Pete's brilliant run of form at one point.

Pete talks about a time in the late 90s when he, in his words, lost enjoyment of the game. He explains how he got it back and who the person was who helped him do so, and 'resurrected my career'.

And then after the turn.....what happened in Morocco when, for a moment, Pete claimed that he was the King of Spain. Arguably one of the best stories ever. And he talks about getting sprung wagging school 4-days a week, only going on Wednesdays, to go to the golf course.
