A huge pod today, we start with Karl Vilips' fantastic win in Puerto Rico - amazing. Nick and Mark chat about his path to this point, from an Australian prodigy at 6-years old to PGA winner, how he did it and why he moved to the US so young. Nick chats about what impressed him about Karl's performance, and Mark raises his swing and suggests it may be the new modern swing. Nick would prefer to see Karl waggling, but at the same time he's doing pretty well without it!
We discuss Jason Day's suble change in his putting. Nick raises some of the changes at Bay Hill and talks about playing that course.
Mark raises 'fast greens' and says that whilst many golfers like to say they play them well, they are not ideal generally. We talk about ideal green speeds.
The Australian Open dates, for all tournaments, are yet to be announced. Mark asks are Golf Australia serious about the Open or not? And he invites James Sutherland onto the pod to explain where it's at.
Mark has heard that the discussions between the PIF and the PGA in Washington have broken down.
Nick's Top 5 is on well known players who wore gloves to putt, in order of worst to best. It won't surprise you to know that it is in fact a Top 6. Surely by now this is an ACCC issue. Nick also tells a great story about the Golden Bear at a conference - very funny.
Feedback today - including a call from David in Brisbane who is heading off next week to the Barossa for a boys drinking , ahem, golf trip and wants some advice on how to maintain energy and momentum under duress (ie: late nights, wines and beers). Also in feedback a couple of whacks for Mark. Always fun.
PING global results - we're yet to resolve the trumpet situation. Watch this space. And Marks masterclass is on how 'locking your shirt' under your armpit can help your putting. Our intern Javier was in charge of audio, might explain why we fired him.

Today we're doing a bonus pod previewing The Players Championship this weekend at TPC Sawgrass, a wonderful event and one that Nick has played multiple times. Nick and Mark discuss the course, particularly the famous 17th hole and how it feels when you know it's getting close.
Nick gives his view on the best way to play the course, what he did. Mark describes it as a 'hitters' course, Nick agrees and says you can't 'short game' you way around Sawgrass.
Mark is bullish on a particular player. He calls up his Betr app and shows us what he's done - he's whacked 100 bucks on a player to win at 46-1. Nick doesn't agree and thinks this player is more likely to miss the cut. Ouch.
We discuss the players who are a chance and why, with particular attention on the Aussies.
And then, and this is a bit of fun, we call our mate Hummer at Betr and ask him to create a multi for Talk Birdie listeners that Nick and Mark have built. It's a very gettable 3-leg multi involving Jason Day, Scottie Scheffler and Ludvig Åberg. We're quietly confident, and the odds are attractive. But....this multi is only for Talk Birdie To Me wolfpackers and only on Betr. You can check it out here.
Opening an account by the way takes about 90-seconds.
Good luck, and remember to gamble responsibly.

Well the pod gets off to a bad start when Mark decides to wear a Joe Highsmith style hat for the duration. Highly recommend you avoid watching this episode on YouTube when it is available.
Some comments and questions to run through.
Christopher has a comment on the suitability of wearing golf attire, and Nick tells a very funny story about going to the baseball in the US looking decidedly 'golfy'.
Rochey has a comment and question on Marks patented 59 ranking system.
Tom went to LIV, and loved it, but has a question about the shotgun starts.
Warwick has an idea for the pod.
And Anthony has a question about Marks changes to his short game, and how players from the past dealt with a specific issue.

Another fun pod today. We start with the huge win of Ryan Peake in the New Zealand Open, without being dismissive of the past, it is a wonderful redemption story and Mark says a great example of what second chances can do. Mark and Nick both want to get Ryan on the pod when he is back in Australia.
However, Mark is not a fan of the NZ Open being a Pro-Am calling it 'garbage'. Nick understands why it is and proposes a compromise approach, Mark then offers an alternate compromise.
Jake Knapp's 59 at PGA National needs to be analysed by Mark Allen's patented 'Talk Birdie To Me 59 Analyser'. Which he does. Nick discusses Jakes plug shot out of the water.
Joe Highsmith. What is with that hat, and what about that putting? Discussions are had, and laughs are had. Both are ridiculous.
And why does Mark Allen call Ricky Pointing a 'disgrace' ? Trouble in paradise.
We discuss Luke Clanton getting his card and his Dad's beautiful reaction, which gives Nick an idea about Q-School mini's...he reckons riveting viewing. Speaking of riveting viewing, for the wrong reasons. Mark plays the famous video of Joe Daly at Q-School in 2000. Brutal.
We play a video of Jeff Guan's driving, looking pretty sharp. A tough road for him, but we wish him all the best.
Marks Top 5 today is a cracker. The Top 5 ridiculous putting actions on tour that he has seen. It is very funny. Has he missed any? Let us know.
Couple of stunning reno's in Sydney: Royal Sydney, and NSW Golf Club, we look at some pics of both and discuss.
Lots of results to run through in the PING Global results, in what has been a big week for lefties. Unsurprisingly, Nick is pleased with that. And we run through some feedback, Mark gets a whack from Wolfpack member Don, and Mark gives tour pro David Micheluzzi a whack (again!). This could end in court. Lucky we've got our lawyer Dennis Denuto on retainer.
And a great masterclass from Nick, inspired by Jake Knapp, on how to play plugged lies.

Lots to discuss on the pod today. As you know we're filming the pod for YouTube, and this is week two. We're still ironing out the bugs, and we had a big bug this week, so no YouTube show this week - but we'll sort it for next week.
Onto the pod - Mark bumped into Marc Leishman a day or so ago, after Marc played in Warrnambool at the weekend with his Dad and Son. Nick and Mark discuss Marc's near win at St Andrews, and other Aussie performances at the venue.
Nick and Mark reveal why pros never ask another pro how they played, apparently one of the unwritten rules of being a pro is to never tell other pros about your round.
We discuss the likelihood, or not, of LIV players being welcomed into The Players Championship in March. Outside of those already exempt, will they be welcomed in? Mark asks Nick if there will be room made for them.
What about PING's Brian Campbell winning the Mexican Open. His first win in 178 events. And he did it in well, perhaps with a bit of luck on one hole in the playoff.
Nick and Mark discuss chipping with a strong top hand grip, which some players do, but it is rare, and not ideal. Mark puts Nick on the spot to say what current tour pros have an orthodox, or unorthodox swing. One tour pro's swing, according to Nick and Mark, when you look at it would not make the Kingston Heath pennant team.
Speaking of swings - Nick has brought a video in of Akie Iwai, whose swing he loves. We watch a video of Tiger Woods and what he calls the 'most embarrassing moment of his golfing career'.
Mark is angry over something that has happened at a golf course in Wales.
Nick's Top 5 (a Top 6 actually) is on players who had a lucky break which helped them win a major.
Plenty of feedback, lots on our chat with Bradley Hughes and James Watson - watch them at the links. And we run through some entries, and announce the winner of our caption contest - who wins $200 to spend at Golf Clearance Outlet.
Heaps of results to run through with the PING global results from Nick, interrupted after Mark's phone decides to play a role in the show. Awkward.;
And a masterclass from Mark on 'nervous chipping'.

Mark Allen particularly is a bit excited today as we have one of his heroes on the pod, the legendary Bradley Hughes has joined us at the Talk Birdie To Me desk.
Hugo tells us how he got into golf, and Mark asks him why he chose golf over football - he was a very good footy player. He also talks about his experiences with Greg Norman as a young player. Nick asks Hugo about his acceleration and ball striking.
We find out about the process of turning pro, and how his first tournament went. Hugo had a dream start to his pro career, playing very well, very early.
Hugo describes his first year in Europe as a 'disaster' and explains why. He tells Nick and Mark what the pinnacle of Hugo's tournament career was. He played in the inaugural Presidents Cup and explains what that was like, and when he had a crack at his playing partner Nick Price.
Mark asks Hugo about his coaching techniques, and he explains why he initially ignores grip and swing, and just teaches people how to flush the ball. He tells us about his 'guinea pig' student.
Hugo gets into the simulator to show us what he teaches - apologies for the audio here, we're still working on that mic, but you'll be able to hear his comments - and when the video goes up you can watch Hugo in the simulator.
Hugo explains and shows how his DownUnder board works. It's a game changer and you can order at the website here and he has a website with over 600 training videos that you can watch, as a member, here. Cheap as chips considering the calibre of Hugo, and the information he's outlining.
A cracking guest pod, and great to have the legendary Bradley Hughes dropping by.

Our Guest today on Talk Birdie To Me is James Watson, Senior Vice President of Production at LIV Golf, so a big gig!
James tells us some of the figures from LIV Adelaide, they are impressive. He talks about how they had a very short timeframe to get the first London event up, and it was only in Adelaide that he felt 'LIV had arrived'. We find out about James career, and how it led him to his current role with LIV, via Cricket Australia, Asian Tour Golf, and Tennis Australia. James talks about the graphics on screen during golf, and why he believes they are so important. He goes on to talk about what he calls the 'second screen experience' and the importance of this for fans.
Nick asks James about the drone tracer, and James explains how they developed this innovation at LIV.
Mark asks if James is happy with the LIV Adelaide product, and if they have more in the tank. He says that it is the best era for participation in 30-years, however that is not yet translating to viewership.
James tells us what it's like being in the LIV Production truck with 60 cameras to direct, he talks about the importance of having a tight team and great communication lines. James talks about how they use fan data to drive decisions on how they execute the coverage, and gives examples. He talks about the inspiration that LIV has taken from Formula One and The Australian Open tennis.
Mark asks about whether James has exposure the big boss Yasir, and how much exposure he has had to The Shark over the journey. He tells us what The Shark is like to work with. We ask James about whether there is a feeling that LIV and the PGA getting back together is imminent.
A fascinating chat with an Aussie who has a massive gig on a world scale.

A disclaimer: today we're using the Talk Birdie video gear for the first time. Audio goes up first, and video at 7pm the same day. Please bear with us, we're still learning how it works, what buttons do what, and the various camera angles. So the first few shows will be a bit rocky here and there - we will 100% screw some stuff up. If you see a camera shot pointing at the floor for 20 seconds you'll know why.!
Onto the pod. We start with Nick's report on Mount Lawley following the recent OCM makeover, Nick was in Perth for the weekend and had a run at the course, did he enjoy it?
LIV Adelaide, a wild success, looked great on TV, the crowds were huge, Mark has about ten people he knows who were there who said it was the best sporting event they've even been to. Mark talks about how the players have great stories, and attract crowds, which is what golf needs - big names. Nick didn't go this year, but he went two years ago and talks about the noise and vibe. We discuss the TV ratings and how they went.
Tiger, Adam Scott and Jay Monahan met with Trump, and Tiger made some comments following that meeting about a potential unification of the different parties.
Has Joaquin Niemann given away the location of The Australian Open? And what Aussie rising PGA star was seen deep in conversation with multiple LIV teams in Adelaide. The money is clearly attractive - Mark asks Nick if Alana would have allowed him to turn down that kind of money?
Torrey Pines. How excited about Ludvig Åberg is Marko? Pretty excited as it turns out. Nick and Mark discuss his performance, and Mark pops into the simulator to show us some examples of Ludvig's pre-shot routine. Apologies for the audio issue here, the mic in the simulator was playing up - we'll fix it for next week. Mark says Ludwig will be a Top 10 machine, and will win a major this year. Which leads to Marks Top 5 - golfers who he believes will win a major in 2025.
We have an update on the PING global opener. Nick is pumped as there were 3 PING players this weekend. Lots of feedback from the Wolfpack, keep it coming on socials, emails, carrier pigeons.
Mark asks Nick - what do you have to do to be considered a 'black belt golfer'? We hear a voicemail from listener Mark with a question on slow play. Nicks masterclass on is on Ludwig, and again apologies for the audio - we'll sort for next week.
Remember this episode will be on YouTube at 7pm Wednesday 19th, AEDST.

Damien was at LIV at the weekend and was following the group with Richard Bland, Charl Schwartzel, and Tyrell Hatton and had some comments after hearing our feedback pod on Monday where Wolfpack member Jenko asked about how players would deal with 'antics' from other pros.

We've been getting lots of fantastic questions from listeners to the Talk Birdie To Me pod, and it's great fun running through them - so today, another feedback episode of the pod.
We start with a question from new listener Jenko, welcome to the Wolfpack Jenko! The comment is on an idea for the LIV/PGA compromise structure. Jenko also has a question about Tyrell Hatton's behaviour.
Lamb asks about the US pension for pro golfers, and how it works. Nick talks about his pension status from his time in America.
Peter wants to know what's going on with Karl Vilips and why he's not seen much tournament action from him.
Richard has a question for Nick and Mark about The Pews at Oakmont.
Brad is unhappy with the PGA and GA and not a a fan of TGL
Mark heard the episode where Nick and Mark spoke about the Two Ball Worst Ball format, and gave it a crack - he reports in on how he went.
And we finish with a song from Marko - inspired by Jenko's question. Jenko this song, if it is no good, is your fault - you are risking a ban for a month if it goes pear-shaped.

A slightly different voicemail today from Mark at The National. Mark has asked Nick and Mark a question, which we will answer on the pod - but we'd love your input on ideas to address the specific issue Mark is asking about on the course when he is playing.
Have a listen to the voicemail from Mark, and let us know on socials if you have a suggestion for Mark.

A Valentines Day feedback pod today where we run through a bunch of comments and questions from the Wolfpack.
We start with Pete on the phone asking about what he can do to increase his clubhead speed.
Then some feedback from Luke who has a whack for Dan and a correction for Nick.
Glenn asks whether Cheltenham Golf Club is in trouble with Victoria Golf Club sniffing around.
After the turn, we get our first product review - Mike reviews a FootJoy product....is it a positive review? Of course it is.
Justin wants to know why Royal Melbourne has not had an Australian Open for 34 years, and has an opinion on the timing of the event.
And we wrap up with comments from Robert on the evolution of golf equipment over the years, which he feels has gone too far.

Massive week in golf as always, so much to talk about. We kick off the show, unfortunately, by Mark singing happy birthday to the Shark. Just what Greg would have wanted....an out of tune birthday song.
However after that Mark plays some audio of Brandel Chamblee talking about the discussions between the PGA and Trump this week. Leads to a chat about what it might mean for a unified game, and with Golf Australia CEO James Sutherland just having returned from Saudi Arabia, and a media conference scheduled by GA at LIV Adelaide this Thursday .... is there news on the horizon ? It does seem as though there may be, and we discuss what it may be about - and what we hope it is about. We have no idea, so we're just speculating.
Nick says that he has heard a rumour the Australian Open's Women's tournament will be held in Western Australia which he's excited about. He also mentions the the 'pace of play' policy coming in from the LPGA.
More LIV chat - the night tournament in Riyadh had no spectators and was, according to Nick and Mark, arguably LIV's worst event - and they're about to swing into their best event, LIV Adelaide.
Mark reads out the comments tour pro Marcus Fraser said on ABC Radio about the Australian Open.
Changes coming to the Monday Qualifier structure in some tournaments ....are Nick and Mark happy about this? Mark talks us through the remarkable performance of Will Chandler, the Monday Qualifier who beat Scottie Scheffler by 6. We discuss some of the great Monday Qualifier stories. And this inspires Nick's Top 5.
Wolfpacker Greg calls on the hotline with a question about governments and their support of other sports, but not golf to the extent he feels could be provided.
Plenty of feedback today to run through and during feedback Nick gives his tip for the Aussie he reckons might go all the way at Torrey Pines. We're checking our Betr app as we speak to suss the odds.
Then a voicemail comes in from Jon with a fun question for Nick and Mark.
We've had movement on the disaster that is the PING global intro music...thanks to a couple of wolfpackers. Watch this space.
And Marks masterclass is inspired by Thomas Detry after his great performance in Scottsdale at the weekend.

Today we have a chat with the Chairman of Golf NSW Michael Medway about their support program for younger golfers on their journey into the big league.
He talks about the players they are supporting, and talks about Corey Lamb in particular and why they are investing in him. he tells us how the arrangements are structured, how the funding is released, the non-financial support they provide.
Michael also talks about what they have done with their prize money and payments for players in tournaments.
Michael explains why Golf NSW are separate to the national body, and why he has no desire to 'hand the keys' to Golf NSW to Golf Australia. He comments that his member clubs would 'revolt' if they did, and one of issues he sees is that Golf Australia is 'not run by golf people'. Michael says that the Golf Australia board is 'narrow-sighted' in their treatment of The Australian Open, and goes on to say that he wants to protect NSW events from what has happened to many other state opens saying that the Vic Open is a 'shadow of its' former self'.

A feedback pod this week where we run through more of your questions, comments, and feedback.
Lots of comments from you on the Links 100 list that Mark brought up last week on the pod, including a pretty blunt assessment of Pebble from one Wolfpacker. Nick and Mark run through Pebble hole by hole and give their thoughts.
