Ep79: Cam Smith - How Golf NSW Got Him,  How Craig Parry Screwed Over Nick Faldo, The Hardest Tee Shot in the World

Ep79: Cam Smith - How Golf NSW Got Him, How Craig Parry Screwed Over Nick Faldo, The Hardest Tee Shot in the World

Nick and Mark are amped over last weeks Cam Smith news that he will be playing the NSW Open at Murray Downs in November, so much so that we start the show by calling Golf NSW COO Graeme Phillipson to ask him how it happened, and how Golf NSW pulled off such a fantastic get. Great chat, and some fantastic insights into the process, and what it now means for the NSW Open.


We discuss the Fedex Cup final round, and the win (sort of) by Scottie Scheffler. Mark is annoyed that one of the commentators described it as a wire to wire win when it clearly wasn't, Nick agrees. We discuss if it counts as a win given the way the final was structured. And Nick talks through Scheffler's shank in the final round. And we talk about the Sahith Theegala incident in the bunker and the self-reporting that cost him a lazy 2.5 million.


Nick starts telling us about an unfortunate incident he had in Abu Dhabi where he self-reported, which is interrupted when the hotline rings, and it's Talk Birdie Wolfpack member Sammy J from Melbourne who has a couple of comments on women's golf participation, and diversity more broadly in golf. He makes some excellent points, and then undoes all his good work by telling us a joke that he thinks Marko will enjoy. Mark does, Nick and Dan do not.


Back to Nick's Abu Dhabi story, and then Mark tells a cracker about Craig Parry and Nick Faldo playing in Bali. It's very funny, although not for Sir Nick who was leading by a boatload when disaster struck, courtesy of Craig Parry.


After the turn, Nick gives us a great Scottie Scheffler stat. Then, thanks to our mates at Southern Golf Club, Mark lists his Top 5 weird stuff in the golf swings of some champions. Nick has watched the Lee Trevino documentary at the weekend, Mark is horrified that Nick was out of the lounge room making a coffee and missed the best part!


A fun story about PING's Bubba Watson from Nick, and Mark talks about the 'flags' at Augusta. Lots to run through in the PING Global results from Nick, and Nick names what hole at what course is the hardest tee shot in the world of golf.


As usual plenty of feedback to run through, so much so that we run out of time, so we'll drop back later this week and do another Q&A bonus pod.


And thanks to the new watchMynumbers app, download from the App Store or Google Play, Nicks masterclass today is on spinning the ball on your wedge shots.

Ep45: Tiger Woods, LIV/PGA, Top 5 best things in 2024 & Min Woo Sizzles!

Ep45: Tiger Woods, LIV/PGA, Top 5 best things in 2024 & Min Woo Sizzles!

It's the last Talk Birdie To Me pod for 2023, thanks for listening through the year we appreciate it. We will be back in 2024, so look forward to seeing you then. In the meantime, we've got a massive final episode to get through!We kick off with Footjoy/Nike gate and Tiger Woods. Is the Tiger/Nike partnership over? We'll know for sure in a couple of weeks, but Tiger certainly isn't talking as though it will continue. Mark is staggered that he hasn't tried to create his own footwear line.On Tiger, Mark suggests to Nick that Charlie Woods has a better swing than his Dad...big call, but Nick and Mark discuss. One thing is for sure, Charlie is developing very fast and he is already an excellent golfer. Nick and Mark explain why the young kids coming through in the US are so good.Onto LIV. Plenty of players rumoured to be moving across in the wake of the Rahm move, and we discuss. How will it end? Nick believes ultimately they'll come together, but that it is not out of the question that they may remain separate. Mark asks Nick what he would do with the kind of money offered. Nick believes the PGA's most powerful bargaining tool is the majors, as ultimately players want to win majors. Mark suggests that once LIV gets more involved in women's golf, that will be a game-changer.Mark is impressed with the Min Woo Lee sizzle reel that he saw online this week. We have a listen.Mark then raises the idea of moving the Australian open to February right after the tennis. And he has an idea about a Sandbelt Masters....interesting.We discuss weird drinks at golf clubs, there are always a few strange ones. Mark has had a new one and he is hooked on it.Plenty of feedback this week, including a couple of whacks for Nick and Mark, and an apology to the boys from pod listener Dazzler. And our final PING global results for the year, and there's lots for Nick to run through!It's back to a Top 5 this week after Nick made an executive decision to expand last week to a Top 10. Mark counts down the Top 5 best things he has seen in golf this year. Includes Mark trying to claim credit for one of the best young players in the world.Masterclass this week is from Nick O'Hern and for the final one in 2024 Nick talks about effortless power.Thanks for listening this year, we appreciate it - we'd love you to share the pod with a friend or two, and maybe listen back to some of the other episodes from the year - lots of good gear.Talk Birdie To Me is back in 2024, with new episodes weekly from mid-January wherever you get your podcasts. Subscribe and you'll never miss an episode! We'd love you to share the podcast with them, and if you can rate and review us wherever you get your podcasts that would be great.We'd love you to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok, or send a voicemail to us here.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And watchMynumbers and Southern Golf Club.
