Massive show, we start by discussing the US Women's Open this week at Erin Hills, Nick and Mark talk through the Aussies and Kiwis, and the international stars. Nick's tip - on this course is to keep an eye on the 'power players', and Mark says watch out for Steph Kyriacou who is in great form. Mark loves the fact that the prize money is $12 million. Predictably, Mark finds a way to pump up his man-crush on Sepp Straka.
And then. The story Mark has been chasing for a few days now. Mark tells Nick and Dan that he has reliable information that LIV is looking to buy the DP World Tour. Nick and Mark discuss what it means, if it is a good thing or not, and how it may happen. Mark calls it 'the best possible outcome'. Would be big. Really big.
In Australia this week - today at the time this pod is posted - Rugby League State of Origin is on which is, for overseas wolfpackers who may not be aware, the pinnacle of Rugby League in Australia, and the world. Nick and Mark put a golfing twist on it and discuss the best Australian golfers by their 'State of Origin'. Who did they miss? Who did they over or under rate? Let us know.
Mark saw a video this week about imperfect greens and discusses. We discuss the end of The Colonial at the weekend, Nick and Mark loved it and they talk about Ben Griffin, Matti Schmid, and Karl Vilips. After the turn, we hear about Nicks new website with some excellent golf videos, tips and ideas for your game. There is a (very reasonably priced) subscription fee, but the content is excellent and it's worth checking out. Video and website link here. Thanks to Southern Golf Club, Marks Top 5 is 'courses that were built to be the toughest, but the pro's ripped them apart'.
Voicemail from Ric in Perth with a question for Nick O'Who, leading to a business idea from Mark....he needs the profits to fund his relentless investment with Betr on Sepp Straka. PING globals from Nick, including one result which gets mentioned only as Nick finds the players name amusing. Feedback, and we decide to do a bonus episode on 'mean tweets'. Want to whack us? Message us, or put it on socials with hashtag #meantweets. Bonus ep on the way. More feedback on bunkers, and lots on last weeks chat about whether LIV is the best place to prepare for a major or not. Some blunt comments from wolfpackers.
Great masterclass from Nick on playing the percentages and managing risk.
