  • Australia's Top Golf Courses: Numbers 11-20
    Mar 2 2026

    A couple of weeks ago, after ripping some of the Top 100 course lists apart for some dubious selections, Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen decided to do their own list, and ranked their Top 10 Australian Courses, you can find it in the feed if you've not heard it. However, the Top 10 courses were:


    1 Royal Melbourne West

    2 Kingston Heath

    3 Victoria

    4 Peninsula Kingswood North

    5 NSW

    6 Royal Adelaide

    7 Barnbougle Dunes

    8 Cape Wickham

    9 Peninsula Kingswood South

    10 Royal Melbourne East


    So today, we move on to 11-20....which will be tricky, and perhaps a tad controversial. If you think in the 11-20 (or the 1-10) Nick and Mark have missed a course, or gotten a ranking badly out of whack, let us know - the only rule is if you want to put a course in, you've got to tell us which you would remove.


    And a caveat, we have not considered Seven Mile Beach, Huntingdale, Royal Sydney or Long Island as they are too new and we feel need time to settle in.


    Let the debate begin !!!

  • Feedback: Snakes, Sandbaggers, Shafts....and a Wolfpacker Theory on Improving Your Golf Game.
    Mar 1 2026

    Feedback pod today, and we start with a bit of snake chat. Snakes on golf courses, snake names, and snakes on a plane (okay maybe not that last one). Then wolfpacker Andrew poses a question to Nick and Mark that gets some serious pushback from the boys! But it does lead to a chat about pathways for young pros.


    Wolfpacker Greg has a theory on how to improve your golf game. We discuss his theory and whether it has merit. After the turn we have a question from David who has a sandbagger at his club, and he's after some advice on how to deal with this particular gentleman.


    A comment on the chat from a few months back about whether a male scratch marker could beat an LPGA Pro (hint: they wouldn't). A question for Nick about the shaft he uses, and Mark recommends a short doco he saw on YouTube called Tiger 2000 - you can see it here.


    And we finish with a wolfpacker who used to be a caddy and had some exposure to Ian Woosnam, Nick and Mark tell a couple of stories about Woosie.


    A fun feedback pod today, keep it coming!

  • Mini: Funniest Things Seen on the Golf Course! Clubs in Trees, Snakes, Water Hazards, Tantrums and a Nervous Seve.
    Feb 26 2026

    So we received a message from John who told us a very funny story about playing golf with a fancy lawyer whose driver ended up stuck in a tree. Wonder if he could hold that tree in 'contempt of course' ?? (see what we did there?).


    Anyway, John went on to ask what funny things Nick and Mark have ever seen on the golf course....and once the memory bank started flowing, oh my gosh were there some stories!


    • Mark had a story about a putter in a tree;
    • Nick once saw a caddy quit mid round in a tournament after his Pro was behaving badly.
    • A fantastic story about Seve Ballesteros, we hear the audio
    • John Daly sacking someone, and hiring them in a different role - one related to some of his non-golf interests.
    • We remember the time US Pro Hannah Gregg came across a massive snake in the halfway house on an Australian golf course with Mark making an outrageous claim about Rory McIlroy.
    • The extremely amusing, although not for him, incident involving Mike Clayton many years ago.


    And we finish hearing a fun video from a comedian on TikTok called Max Price about a day on the course...sort of...very funny. You can follow him here. Ooops....hang on, whilst we're listening to and watching the video, Nick remembers one other very funny story about when he played the Presidents Cup in Montreal involving one of the US Team Members.


    Thanks John for the idea, this was fun!
