Show Notes
It's another big show this week and Nick and Mark are up and about after the Solheim Cup at the weekend, so much to unpack, some wonderful performances, plenty of emotion, a massive shank, and a snappy media conference. And of course what a performance from Carlota Ciganda. We discuss it all on the pod.
The chip from Lexi leads into a chat from Mark about something he's been trying in his own game, a chipping technique from Gabriel Hjersted.
Mark asks Nick to explain what different pressures are at play when you're playing as part of a team, as opposed to an individual game. With Nick having played Presidents Cup twice, he's well placed to answer.
Mark has also been following the news that Australian company OCM will be redeveloping the Medinah Golf Course in Chicago. Very exciting.
We have a voicemail from Jamie in Tassie, a great fun question to do with the Ryder Cup that Nick and Mark get right into and have a lot of fun with; and we have a bunch of feedback from you, including some constructive criticism on how we have been pronouncing a certain players name. Mark has homework as a result.
Nick runs us through the Aussie performances around the world in the Ping Global Results, plenty of news to cover.
This weeks Top 5 is one that Nick and Mark could only get a Top 3 out of last week, and enlisted your help with. It is the Top 5 golf hugs of all time. You have come through with a heap of great suggestions, and the boys try to narrow it down to a Top 5.
And inspired by 'that shot' from Lexi at the weekend in the Solheim Cup, a great masterclass from Nick O'Hern.
