This is not our normal podcast - This is the audio, cut from a chat we had post round at Burntisland Golf House Club in the first episode of our new 2021 'World Tour of Fife' series of videos.  Just thought we'd put this out on its own too in case you don't want to watch our ugly faces!!

BUT please make sure and watch the video and SUBSCRIBE to our Youtube channel - https://linktr.ee/talkgolfscotland

Your feedback would be great on this one...

We look back at a great week in golf where 9 of the top 10 players in the world were competing albeit not in the same tournaments!  Dustin Johnson dominates in Saudi and Brooks gets back back to where he belongs in Arizona.  Much to talk about...

This week we are back to a Zoom recording to talk Bob MacIntyre, Paul Casey, Rory McIlroy and the man they are all talking about, Patrick Reed!!

We are finally back for a new season of Talk Golf Scotland and this week we catch up on Justin Thomas and his 'F' word, as well as talking Rory, Hoody Hatton and Tooony Feenue..

With Donald, Scott, Peter & Stewart!!!

Our second most popular interview so far was with one of the most interesting characters in Scottish golf. In 1994 and 1995 these was nothing more certain than the fact that Gordon Sherry was going to leave the amateur game and become a leading light in world golf.  Sadly that didn’t work out.  Gordon’s story is a fantastic one and well worth a listen!

Our 3rd most listened to podcast so far was this chat with Andrew Cotter. Known as much for his love of dogs since lockdown, Andrew is a Scottish sports broadcaster who works primarily for the BBC, covering mainly golf and rugby union, but also tennis, athletics and The Boat Race!!  One of the most recognisable voices in all of British sports and a really down to earth, good guy!!  https://linktr.ee/talkgolfscotland

In this chat from summer 2020, we talked to the man who developed and built the ‘Strokes Gained’ system which is now used on the PGA Tour to better measure player performance as well as greatly improving our television viewing experience!  In this great episode you will find out how Strokes Gained can really help you improve your own game and understand better how to go about lowering your scores.

To celebrate the end of our second full year of podcasting we have decided to repost our top 5 listened-to interviews and downloaded episodes we have recorded so far.  This one was from the summer of 2019.  A really interesting story of a small town lad from Durban in South Africa who stumbled into a university scholarship in North Carolina before making his way to the top of the game by winning The Players Championship at Sawgrass.  Tim also finished runner up at The Masters and tells of the time he beat off Tiger in the World Matchplay.  Lots of stories and a great listen.

This week we cover the year-end DP World Tour Championship in Dubai and talk about the 2020 Race to Dubai champ, Lee Westwood.  Also, we look back at 2020 and discuss our highs and lows of this very strange year!!

This is the story of a humble Glasgow lad, who rose from reporting news in the local rag to sitting alongside Jack Nicklaus while presenting the Masters live from Augusta National.

David admits to stumbling into TV and golf after joining Sky Sports in its infancy.  He presented 12 Ryder Cups, umpteen major championships and travelled the world following the best players in the game for over 25 years. He has worked alongside some amazing people including Tony Jacklin and Jack Nicklaus as well as interviewing everyone from Arnold Palmer to Rory McIlroy. He talked about his relationships with Seve and Tiger Woods and tells some great stories of his best pal, Butch Harmon. He gave an insight into what is involved in broadcasting a golf tournament and how things have changed over the years. In a very honest chat, David also talks about his thoughts on Augusta, Earl Woods and even the BBC.

Unassuming, professional, great fun but most of all a gentleman.

This week we sadly saw the passing of a true golfing giant.  Peter Alliss had a fantastic playing career but probably an even better second career in the golf commentary box for the BBC.  We give out thoughts on the big man.  Also, we look forward to the climax of the European Tour in Dubai this weekend at the DP World Championship.  We also name our new Club of the Week!

With Scott, Peter, Donald and Stewart

This week we talk about the new long driving sensation on the European Tour, Wilko Nienaber who this week averaged 57 yards longer than the field from the tee.  We also discuss how and why 1st tees are still, in November, so busy.  Charlie Woods, Ronnie O'Sullivan and Spiderman also get a mention.

For the first time ever, Augusta held the Masters in November! There were so many stories this week - what's wrong with Rory, Tiger makes a 10, 63 isn't too old for Bernhard, Bryson feels a bit dizzy and DJ finds a new gear.  All of this as well as announcing which listener won a 4 ball at Royal Dornoch and we move inland to Perthshire for our next Club of the Week!
