🏌🏿‍♂️Bonus: Jordan Bovalina - Australia's Leading Long Driver

A fascinating bonus pod today. Earlier this week we were recording the normal pod and we spotted Jordan Bovalina in the cafe at Golf Australia HQ, never let it be said that we miss an opportunity to talk to Australia's leading long driver at the last World Long Driving Championships, so we hit him for a chat and sure enough he came back to sit down with Nick and Mark.

Jordan chats to us about where the power in his drive comes from, the kind of gym work he does to get in shape for that style of driving, and gives some tips on what you can do to drive the ball a little longer. He tells us how the World Long Driving Championship works, the scoring system, and how he went.

He also tells us about his favourite driver, and wouldn't you know it, it's a PING driver....of course it is !

And he tells us a great story about some veeeeery long-term planning at Augusta.

A ripper pod, well worth a listen!
