Talk Birdie To Me21 Nov 2023

Ep41: Micheluzzi, Åberg, Why a Caddy is Crucial, and Golf Clubs in Trees

After a disgraceful effort last week by Nick O'Hern, forgetting to bring any wine to the pod, he has redeemed himself this week with a lovely Pinot Noir to toast David Micheluzzi's win in the Victorian PGA at the weekend.

After that, we discuss some incredible golf performances over the weekend, incredible. Mark Allen says the quality of golf he is seeing is as good as it's ever been. Particularly impressed with Ludvig Åberg and Eric Cole, Matt Wallace birdieing the entire the back 9 in round 3, the women's results were next level. Nick and Mark reveal their strongest performance with consecutive birdies. Mark believes the balls are contributing to this, Nick agrees, but adds some thoughts on driver head size.

Nick and Mark discuss Ludvig and just how good he is, and will be. Mark predicts Top 5 this time next year, Nick says Top 10.

Fun chat about the 'tree' incident involving Joost Luiten, see the video here. Hilarious.

We discuss the Victorian PGA and Kazuma Kobori who played well, but had no caddy. Both Nick and Mark like Kazuma, particularly at Moonah Links, but feel the lack of a caddy hurt his game. Nick and Mark chat about the importance of a caddy, and talk through their experiences.

Voicemail from Sam who has a question about his PING clubs for Nick. You can leave a voicemail for us any time at the website here. Lots of feedback for Nick and Mark, thanks for your comments and questions - keep them coming in.

Nick takes us around the world with the PING global results, some great performances from the weekend - including the final DP World Tour Event of the year.

Mark's Top 5 this week is on the best final holes in the world at courses that don;'t host a major.

Nick's Masterclass is inspired by David Micheluzzi, and is on the importance of continual movement when you're putting.
