Ep2: It's Scary How Good Jon Rahm Is

It's week 8 of the season, and this is the second episode of the new 'Talk Birdie To Me' podcast where Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen discuss what's been going on this week in golf around the world and at home.

On this weeks show Nick and Mark talk about just how good Jon Rahm is, and in the Masterclass, Nick O'Hern breaks down Rahm's putting tempo. Nick also takes us through his Top 5 short par 4's in the world, and outlines his thoughts on them.

We talk about Riviera, is it the fairest test in golf? Mark thinks so, and the boys discuss why nobody is laying up at Riviera these days. And whilst we're talking Riviera, we obviously have to discuss Tiger. Tiger, oh Tiger, what were you thinking. Nick and Mark discuss Tiger's brain fade. However, brain fade aside, he was hitting the ball at Riviera at 180mph so was impressive.

Wouldn't be an episode without a LIV Golf update, there have been a bunch of new signings by LIV at the weekend, we run through the list and discuss.

And the new Netflix show Full Swing is streaming. Nick and Mark love it, and can't stop talking about it.

Before we forget - we've got a brand new segment featuring, well you.....it's called 'Tweets to the Editor' and Nick and Mark run through some of your feedback (good or bad) from the socials on the show.
