The Missing Links Golf Show is back for the 2nd episode of 2026, and it doesn’t take long for controversy to strike.

Listener feedback questions the Yearly Championship countback rules, sparking a debate that leads to a bold (and slightly ridiculous) proposal: a virtual playoff decided by the Dice of Truth. The Pilgrims are officially invited to help decide how ties should be settled going forward.

Steve then breaks down a tough but encouraging round at Royal Dubbo on a hot afternoon, highlighted by 14 consecutive holes of solid golf. The discussion dives into strokes gained data, why it can be misleading without context, and how one bad swing can distort an entire round’s stats.

The boys also explore short-game fear, decision-making versus data, practice tools, speed training, and early goals for 2026—including health, fitness, and competitive plans.

As always, the message is clear: progress isn’t always obvious on the scorecard—but it’s happening!

We’re back for 2026—and somehow we start with the Ashes before finding our way back to golf.

The episode opens with a blunt wrap-up of Australia’s 4–1 Ashes win, unpacking why Bazball was exposed in Australian conditions, why patience still wins Test cricket, and which players stood up when it mattered. There’s praise for those who adapted, criticism for those who didn’t, and strong opinions on leadership, accountability, and one-gear game plans.

From there, it’s back to golf as we officially close out the 2025 Yearly Championship. A dramatic final month, multiple countbacks, and a razor-thin margin mean the champion is decided—but you’ll have to listen to find out who takes the title.

We also recap a post-Christmas round at Kooindah Waters, featuring solid banter, average golf, and one of the wildest tee shots you’ll ever hear about—seriously.

Andy provides an honest update on his ongoing wrist issues, how Christmas habits and manual labour caught up with him, and what comes next as he looks to get his body right for the year ahead.

The episode wraps with exciting High Performance Centre updates, including new launch monitor tech, simulator golf, and why wedges inside 100 metres are the biggest scoring opportunity heading into 2026.

Same show. Same obsession. New year.

In this episode, we turn the spotlight inward.

We unpack recent guest feedback that challenged Steve’s mindset — specifically the belief that he may not yet see himself succeeding beyond a high single-figure handicap. While confronting, there’s truth in it, and it opens the door to a deeper conversation about self-belief, ceilings we subconsciously set, and why mindset will be a key development focus moving into 2026.

Andy then reflects on a recent round where ongoing swing changes were difficult to trust under pressure. We explore why committing to change is often harder than making the change itself, and how doubt can creep in when results don’t immediately show up on the scorecard.

Finally, we tackle one of the biggest challenges facing everyday golfers: finding time for meaningful practice in the middle of busy work and life demands. We discuss why “doing more” isn’t the answer, and how clarity, intention, and realistic expectations matter more than hours logged.

This episode is about honesty, awareness, and recognising that sometimes the biggest thing holding our golf back… is us.
