<p>We're live from Titleist & FootJoy HQ and we start todays show with a story from Mark about the Australian Open Stonehaven Cup that Peter Lonard won at Moonah Links, and how the Cup was 'lost' for a number of months. Mark is convinced the story is accurate, but Nick and Third Man feel it sounds so unbelievable that we feel that it needs to be checked. So we drop a message to the former Australian golf boss Andrew Langford-Jones to give us a call and confirm or deny. Hopefully he calls before the end of the show.</p><br><p>The Chevron. Nick and Mark describe it as 'mayhem', with the grandstand on the final hole an 'abomination' according to Nick. It resulted in a disaster for Ariya Jutanugarn with her shot ricochetting off the grandstand. Nick watched the whole thing, although the 5-way playoff went for a veeeeeery long time, with slow play an offender again.</p><br><p>Nick raises the TIO ruling not only in the Chevron, but for the Hoygard twins in the PGA teams event in New Orleans. We discuss poor grandstand placement, which happens around the world, and Mark says it has to be better.</p><br><p>Mark raises the LIV ratings from Florida which have been released and were soft. He is keen to have a look at how Mexico's LIV ratings go, given it was up against one of the great Womens PGA events, and what he describes as a pretty ordinary Mens team event in New Orleans, that he found difficult to watch. The world feed comes up (again) and, again, Nick and Mark unimpressed and they play some audio from Trevor Immelman analysing Justin Thomas' swing, illustrating what we are missing out on due to receiving the world feed.</p><br><p>Mark says the Korn Ferry tour cut this was crazy - a 9 under cut and 30 under won the event. Nick discusses the difference between playing the Korn Ferry and the PGA tour when he was playing.</p><br><p>After the turn we get Andrew Langford-Jones on the phone to either confirm or deny the Australian Open Peter Lonard story.</p><br><p>Great Top 5 from Mark, listing the most unique golf holes in the world. Has he missed any?</p><br><p>PING global results from Nick, as always plenty to run through, and lots of feedback from wolfpackers again - including a request from Jarrod which Nick and Mark love, and workshop live on the pod.</p><br><p>And we wrap the show with a masterclass from Nick, inspired by Ariya Jutanugarn in the Chevron, on how to avoid chunking shots around the green.</p><br><p>We do the show from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;</li><li>FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;</li><li>PING will help you play your best.

<p>The most common question that comes in for Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen at Talk Birdie To Me is along the lines of 'what should I practise', 'how should I structure my practise', 'what tips can you give me to ensure my practise is effective in converting to results on the course'.</p><br><p>So this week when we received this email from Wolfpacker Matt, we thought we'd do a short bonus pod discussing it. Here's Matt's question:</p><br><p>"Hi Nick and Mark! </p><p>Huge fan of the show, looking to improve my game and my practising on the range. </p><p>Just seeing what you would recommend with structuring my session, how would you suggest I train, what would you suggest I practise.</p><p>Thanks guys,</p><p>Matt'</p><br><p>A question that, in various forms, we get a lot. So today Nick and Mark discuss the three things to do on the range that will improve your game immediately.</p><br><p>We do the show from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;</li><li>FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;</li><li>PING will help you play your best.

<p>Welcome to another feedback pod, these are the episode where you control the topics and we read out your questions and feedback (good and bad)!</p><br><p>We start with a chat about Mark's comments last week that the Rory shot on 5 was the greatest shot ever made. Some wolfpackers have a different view - we won't read them out today, but we'll wait until Nick is back in the studio next week (he's in Cathedral for the school holidays) and we will do a bonus pod on 'the greatest shot ever made in golf'. Fun.</p><br><p>Mark has sent in a pic of a 59 shot by Elvis Smylie at Southport on the Gold Coast, and would like Mark Allen to rate it. Mark does, and is brutal.</p><br><p>Sam's home course has fast greens and he struggles when he plays a course with slow greens...and asks for some tips.</p><br><p>Dale has written in with some 'useless information' (his words not ours) and both pieces are very good. One of Dale's points leads to a chat about young gun Jeffrey Guan and how he is going.</p><br><p>Voicemail sound goes off, and it's a question from wolfpacker Fraser who played golf as a kid, went away, is back now and looking for some tips on how to improve.</p><br><p>Laurie from Indonesia has a comment and question about Justin Rose at The Masters.</p><br><p>Phil has a question about Max Homa and which of all his changes recently has had the most influence.</p><br><p>A lovely message from wolfpacker Niall from Ireland who likes the 'bluntness' that Nick and Mark have when discussing issues.</p><br><p>And finally a comment from Wayne who feels that some of the big names in world golf are off their game during the first couple of months of 2025.</p><br><p>Mark asks Nick if he feels, as contracts come to an end, that any LIV players will want to come back to the PGA, and if he feels any big names from the PGA will leave for LIV.</p><br><p>Keep the questions coming, and remember if you want any feedback on your swing, putting, chipping - anything - send us a video and we'll have a look at it on the show.</p><br><p>We do the show from Titleist and FootJoy HQ (except when Nick is in Cathedral) thanks to our great partners:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;</li><li>FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;</li><li>PING will help you play your best.
