This week we take a deep dive into the stunning form of world No. 13 Hannah Green, who narrowly missed a victory on the LPGA in Singapore.

We talk to Simon Magdulski about Golf Australia’s new handicap app, which has proved to be a hit with golfers, and we learn the inspiring story of Queensland’s Special Olympics star Natascha Tennent, whose golf prowess is growing despite her issues with autism and Tourette Syndrome.

We also have a look at Rory McIlroy’s continuing struggles… winless since 2019 as he reaches 32 years of age.

All this and a wrap of golf around the world with hosts Andy Maher and Martin Blake.

To kick things off this week we run the “pub test” over the latest Matt Kuchar drama, with rules guru Simon Magdulski offering a far more balanced opinion than our hosts Andy Maher, Mark Hayes and Mike Clayton.

There’s nothing we like more than guests who speak openly about dramatic moments in their golfing lives. So we couldn’t be happier than to have had a great chat with Sydney’s Jamie Arnold, who enjoyed the best season of his career despite agonisingly missing out on his PGA Tour card.

We then chat with a genuine legend of Australian golf – Brian Twite, the legendary club pro at Metropolitan who, at 93, joins us in studio to chat all things from how he came to leave England for Melbourne sight unseen, his experience at Royal Portrush in the 1951 Open Championship … and his dislike for golf carts.

All that and the complete rundown of Aussies in action around the world.

On Episode 102, Australia’s top amateur David Micheluzzi drops by the studio to speak of his 2019 plans and his experience on the Japanese Tour last week on the toughest course he’s ever played (2:16). GA rules guru Simon Magdulski talks through some tiny tweaks to the handicapping system to make it fairer for all (34:44) and we finally catch up with Reg Ballard, still churning out the rounds at age 100 (56:41). Mark Hayes and Andy Maher wrestle over hosting duties, while Martin Blake provides the calming influence.

On Episode 60, we’re headed overseas to check in on the global tours (17:10), we take a deep dive into the new rules of golf with Simon Magdulski (37:19) before chatting to Ali Orchard on the new phenomenon, Top Golf (1:01:50). Andy Maher and Mark Hayes are joined by Martin Blake in the host seats.
