A bonus episode today which came about after New Zealand golfer Ryan Fox won the Myrtle Beach Classic last week, which gave him a spot in the US PGA Championship in Charlotte this week....huge. Ryan is a fantastic golfer with a slightly unorthodox swing, that Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen discussed on Talk Birdie To Me this week. During that chat, we thought we'd see if we could grab Ryan's coach, former tour pro Marcus Wheelhouse, for a chat to ask him about it. He was happy to oblige, from the beautiful Royal Auckland and Grange Golf Club in Papatoetoe.
We started with Marcus telling us how he came to work with Ryan 15-years ago, and a bit about the journey. Nick was interested to know how Ryan's swing has developed over that time, Marcus says that he was 'in awe when he saw Ryan smash a 5-iron over 200 metres'. We talk about the unorthodox nature of Ryan's swing compared to Sepp Straka, and Marcus tells us about an injury that Ryan had when he was younger which influences in part how his body moves and why his swing is how it is.
Fascinating chat, and a great insight into how a coach works with a tour pro.
