Ep32: Ryan Fox, Golf Dorks & Top 5 'Bad Behaviour' Moments in Golf

After a few shows at various golf clubs, we're back at Australian Golf HQ today, and there's a lot to discuss in the world of golf!

We start the show with Mark making and admission about something he did whenever he played in Singapore or Malaysia; and he then asks Nick for some advice on his game, as Nick is now Mark's unofficial golf coach.

But to more important things - the golf from the weekend. Ryan Fox, a wonderful result swooping back in to with the BMW PGA Championship. Very impressive performance. Nick and Mark discuss the Wentworth course, how beautiful it is, but how it has had some challenges over the years with the redesigns. Nick was also impressed with Aaron Rai's performance, Mark has some concerns about his gear and his clothing - Nick agrees.

Following Min Woo Lee giving Ryan Fox a huge hug after his win, Mark wants you to suggest some of the great hugs in golf history to compile a Top 5. Let us know on the socials or send a voicemail here.

Another great result from the weekend was from Scott Hend on the Europeans Legends Tour, a great performance, and Mark recommends following Hendy on social media - very entertaining. Nick was impressed with the performance of PING player Sahith Theegala in the Napa Valley, both Nick and Mark loved the scenes when he won with his family present, wonderful footage and a victory a long time coming. Mark had a look at what was in Theegala's bag, one of the things that he loves to do - he calls himself a golf dork.

Nick talks about the performance of the European players and has a theory on why they are stronger than the Americans leading into the Ryder Cup.

After the turn, Mark has a crack at Nick over a disgraceful oversight.

We love getting voicemails from you, keep them coming. Today we hear from Paul Higgins with a question about a recent Top 5; and Ry Coleman who asks the guys about left and right holes. Nick & Mark give some great advice.

Plenty of feedback this week, starting with Mark copping a whack. And it's something that he's been picked up on previously. We may have an endemic issue with something he is doing. Keep the feedback, comments coming on socials, or send a voicemail anytime here.

Nick gets Mark up to speed on some recent changes to the PGA Tour with the reintroduction of the PGA Tour Q-School presented by Korn Ferry. And then lots of results from around the world, with a focus on the Aussies and Kiwis.

A fun Top 5 this week from Nick, who counts down his Top 5 'poor form' moments in golf history. If you have any to add let us know.

And todays masterclass is from Mark and inspired by Scott Hend at the weekend on the DP World Tour, and is specifically for people who are slicers.
