We're getting plenty of feedback and questions coming in, sometimes we take a bit of time to get to them, but we're trying to work through them all as we can. Today on the pod we start by talking about a photo Nick shared on his instagram page - see it here - it's a great pic of Nick's caddy Wilbur at Augusta waiting for Nick.
Speaking of caddies, Mark was lined up this week by one of his former caddies who felt Mark was being a bit harsh on Rory McIlroy's caddy Harry Diamond, and Mark goes on to tell a story about how he nearly killed his caddy driving to Queensland.
Plenty of feedback on the member/guest fee conversation, some different perspectives. And there is a short, yet brutal, whack for Nick and Mark from a wolfpacker called Dougie who is a Monty fan. And back onto caddies, former tour caddy Eddie Munster also wrote in about Monty.
Nick gives two reasons why The Masters is the worlds greatest golf tournament, and Mark gives some feedback to FootJoy.
We have a video sent in by wolfpacker Martin of his mate Steve who uses a putter, perhaps not exactly how it was intended....but seemingly successfully. The vision confuses Nick and Mark, if you watch it when the YouTube vodcast comes out, you'll see why...it is very unusual.
And Nick and Mark discuss Rory's putting and make the statement that if he can address some putting issues, it is scary how good he will be, Nick describes the potential of Rory as 'domination'.
And we finish with some fantastic news about a member at Lake Karrinyup who has achieved something quite special.

Today's podcast is all about The Masters and the extraordinary tournament we watched. And of course, we start with Rory who was clearly already an incredible player, but is now a legend.
Mark describes what we saw as 'breathtaking drama', and Nick and Mark just sit and chat about the tournament. We have no runsheet or plan for todays show, aside from to debrief on The Masters and talk about what we all saw in one of the great tournaments, and particularly on the final day, one of golfs great days.
Nick describes what we saw from Rory as 'resilience', and admired how he continually would come back and never give up. Nick and Mark discuss a number of the holes, the shots, the ebb and flow moments. We discuss how Rory would have been feeling at those moments where it didn't go his way, and how he managed to come back every time.
And on Rory's caddy Harry. Mark describes Harry as a 'good caddy', Nick says Rory needs a 'great caddy', and says that with a better caddy, Rory wins by 6 shots. Mark lists what he refers to as Harrys 'sackable offences during The Masters'.
Nick raises the Monday Q Twitter page and how he loved following it during the tournament. He recommends that if you're not following it, get on board!
Rory's shot on the 15th in the final round. Nick calls it the 'sexiest shot in golf'. Mark makes the claim that given the circumstances, the pressure, what was on the line, it was the greatest shot ever hit in golf.
We discuss Justin Rose's performance, which obviously is overshadowed by Rory, however was brilliant. Nick and Mark full of admiration for Justin.
Mark loved the commentary and was so pleased it was the traditional commentators.
We discuss the footage of Rory in the Champions Locker Room for the first time. Beautiful to watch.
Nick asks Mark how Rory will go over the next few tournaments, we discuss what they are and how he is placed.
Nick says the round of the tournament was from Nick Dunlap, and explains why.
A great Top 5 from Mark today, he lists what he feels are the Top 5 Mens Major Tournaments in the history of golf. How does the 2025 Masters rank?
In the PING Global results, Nick says that Rory must now be considered the greatest ever European player. Mark agrees.
Feedback today, as you might expect is all on The Masters.

Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen have worn FootJoy their entire career, and given we do the pod from FootJoy and Titleist HQ we thought we'd grab the FootJoy Product Manager for Australia & New Zealand, Chris Patterson, to have a chinwag about golf shoes generally, trends, and some of what they've got coming.
We discussed exactly what Chris does at FootJoy, and what he looks for when decided what to range for these markets. Chris talks about current trends in golf shoes, both for 'normal' golfers and Tour Pros. He runs us through some of the current range, and gives a sneak peak at a shoe coming out later in 2025....Nick and Mark are VERY excited for it.
Mark asks what the key differences are between a normal shoe and a golf shoe, and why it is important. Nick asks how golf shoes have changed over the years. Is a shoe fitting beneficial? Clearly for tour pros it makes sense, but what about us normies? Chris talks to that.
Mark is curious as to whether ball speed can be influenced by your golf shows, and Chris tells us about Justin Thomas and Cam Young and what has happened to their ball speed since changing shoes. Extraordinary.
Nick and Mark both love the MyJoy concept and Nick asks what are some of the craziest things Chris has seen?
A fascinating chat with Chris, the FootJoy Product Manager, and a great reminder of why FootJoy are the number one shoe (and glove) in golf.

Fantastic win from Warrnambool's favourite son Marc Leishman in Florida at the weekend, and we begin today's show chatting about the win....Marc becomes the third Aussie to win a tournament in the last couple of weeks, following Min Woo and Steve Allen. Mark loves the 'drive, chip, and putt' competition and thinks there should be more of them prior to tournaments.
We discuss the elephant in the room, will we get the world feed for The Masters. Neither Nick or Mark has been able to get clarity. They're hopeful that we get Jim Nance and the traditional team. We discuss how wonderful Jim Nance is, and how long he has left commentating. Mark raises the LIV commentators. Nick and Mark feel that the LIV commentators get too excited too early in the tournaments.
Nick says the Fedex Cup should be Matchplay, Mark says the 'handicap system reeks of someone who does not understand golf', and wants more matchplay in golf. We've had our Masters preview pod, but we can't help but talk about Augusta again. Mark asks Nick about the creek on 13, Nick explains how he approached it and why, plus which holes suit lefties and which suit righties.
In a prelude to Nicks Top 5 'unwatchable golfers', despite his winning form, Nick and Mark comment that Brian Harman or, as we prefer to call him, Ricky, is a great putter with great power, but an 'unwatchable golfer'.
Following some anonymous feedback to Mark, we discuss the prices clubs charge at members courses, specifically guest fees. What is causing it, is it too much? Mark would you like you to send in what your clubs member/guest fee structure is. Whilst we're talking complaints. Mark reckons Nick and Third Man have been taking advantage of his generosity, and he has a crack at both of them on the pod. Harsh.
Plenty of feedback, lots on the aim point comments from last week, including a couple of whacks - and one wolfpacker calls Nick and Mark 'a couple of old grandpas'. Clearly they're wrong, neither have grandchildren. And wolfpacker Tom from California has sent in his swing for Nick and Mark to review.
PING global. Big news. After last weeks excellent trumpet playing by Anthony from Woodlands, our lawyer Denis Denutto has reviewed the legalities around Timmy Trumpet. We may end up in court. So Nick has found a new, legal PING global results intro which he plays. Oh, and gives heaps of results. No masterclass this week, but thanks to Frank and the team at watchMynumbers it returns next week.

It's Masters week and we kick off our Masters preview show with Nick and Mark sharing memories of some of their favourite moments, and of watching it when they were kids Nick talks about the first time he played Augusta, and what he did on the 12th green before the tournament. And he talks about the course preparation and some of the 'tricks' they use to keep the players on their toes.
Mark asks Nick about the trickiest hole on the course, and wants to know from Nick what it's like when they call your name to the tee on day one.
Onto this years Masters. Nick and Mark discuss the Aussies, and how they expect them to perform. Nick gives his view on each Aussie as to whether they will perform well or not.
Nick expects Scottie Scheffler to win, Mark would love Rory to win given what he is looking to achieve with regards a grand slam. Both give some roughies who should play well. And then Nick gives us show and tell with some fantastic memorabilia from his times playing Augusta!
We've decided to construct a Talk Birdie To Me multi exclusively for the Wolfpack on Betr - the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia. You can access it here, it is a ripping multi paying 31 bucks, and only available on Betr! Get on board - but remember to gamble responsibly.

Happy Masters week!

Lots of feedback on the international feed, and Nick and Mark have made their views clear. The overwhelming majority of feedback has been that people want the old feed back, however in fairness it hasn't been one-way traffic. We received a voicemail from Wolfpack member Tim from Perth with a different perspective, and he explains his thinking.

Another feedback pod today with plenty of questions and another Wolfpack members swing for Nick and Mark to review.
We start with a pic that you may have seen on socials about a golfer who thought his ticket to an Augusta practice round allowed him to play an actual practice round. A misunderstanding clearly, but quite funny, the twist is that Mark Allen was there and saw it happen live - he explains what happened from his angle.
Feedback on a couple of recent masterclasses. XJ has a comment for Nick on his 3/4 swing masterclass, and John has a comment and question for Mark on his 'putting like a pro' masterclass last week.
Alex watched Houston over the weekend and asks Nick and Mark a question about Gary Woodlands' caddy and aim point.
Sue wrote in raving about the Indian Open at the weekend, and how great the course looked.
Dom sent us a fun video which, initially, looked like a MAFs out-take, but took a very funny twist. You'l see it on the YouTube episode later today, but hear it on the pod now.
Wayne has a question about players who have won The Masters directly after a lead-up event, Mark has done some research - there's a first for everything....
Laurie asks a massive question which could derail the timing of the pod. It has to do with the politics and potential structure of PGA, DPWT and LIV.
And Peter sent a video of his mate at King Island in for Nick and Mark to review his swing. If you want your swing, putting, or anything reviewed live on the pod, shoot a video in and we'll have a look.

We have to start today's show discussing the fantastic performance of Min Woo Lee at the weekend, it was wonderful to see, albeit a nerve-wracking finish with Scheffler coming hard at him. Nick and Mark have plenty of praise for Min Woo of course, and plenty of props for his caddy Brian 'Bo' Martin who they give credit to for remaining calm under the pressure on that final day in particular. Nick and Mark say that is the benefit of a great caddy and that Bo is a 'superstar'.
Nick tells a story about ignoring his caddy and doing something that he said he would never do on the 15th hole at Augusta, and tells Mark that Min Woo originally was not going to play in Houston at the weekend...phew! Mark comments on Gary Woodland's performance only 18-months after undergoing brain surgery.
Nick and Mark have conducted what Mark calls a '60-minutes style' investigation into the international feed and has some disappointing news, but notes that if that is what is provided for The Masters, reaction will go 'nuclear', and that this is what happens when you 'listen to people'.
An Australian Open update. Mark has heard that their are some significant financial challenges, he explains what they are, and says that 'James Sutherland needs to call Greg Norman immediately' to set up a meeting with Yasir.
Mark's Top 5 today and he talks through his Top 5 'Seve Chips on the final hole' of all time. It's a ripper with some great audio clips, and vision if you're watching on YouTube.
And in the PING Global results we chat with trumpeter Anthony, who works in the pro shop at Woodlands Golf Club in Melbourne and is a pretty handy trumpeter - he plays trumpet off a 3-handicap. Is he any good? We find out live on the pod! After that Nick runs us through a huge week of results, with two big Aussie winners this weekend in Min Woo Lee and Steve Allan, we hear some audio of Steve, and Nick and Mark rave about him as a bloke and a golfer. A hugely popular win.
Feedback - more on the international feed, we can't possibly read it all, the pod would go 5-hours, but we touch on a couple, and a few comments on Mark's Monty story from last week including a wolf packer who asks Mark about the rumour that Monty kicked Marks ball off the tee at Huntingdale is true or not.....Mark tells the story.
Ripper masterclass from Nick today where he talks us through Min Woo's putt off the final green and what we can learn from it.

We've had plenty of feedback and questions coming in for Nick and Mark, so today a feedback pod. On the show we discuss:
Broomstick putters following a question from James;Gibbo has some comments on the potential PGA/LIV merger and asks for thoughts;We spoke to David from Brisbane last week who went to the Barossa on a golf trip with a bunch of mates, how did it go, and did the advice help? We get an update;Ashley has a ripping question about the 'grand slam of club golf';John has a red-hot crack at Mark and he doesn't miss him! Does Mark take it on board or push back?Nick was pleased to see the Karl Vilips pairing a couple of weekends ago and wrote in. We discuss pairings, Mark tells us about the best pairing he ever got, on nearly getting paired with Tiger twice, and on Tiger nearly decapitating him!And after the turn, Wolfpack member Daniel has sent us in a video of his, and his daughters, swings, and asked for some feedback from Nick and Mark on what they see, and any improvements that they could each suggest. If you want us to review your swing, or putting, or anything else - send us a video here or on socials and Nick and Mark will have a look at it on the pod.We do the show from Titleist and FootJoy HQ, thanks to our great partners:

A fun bonus pod today, one which Mark has christened 'story time'. Don't worry, we'll dump the name, it won't survive. But today we talk about some of the great guys that Nick and Mark played with and spent time with on tour, Nick tells a hilarious story about tour pro David Howell involving Sir Nick Faldo and The Queen.
Then.....Mark reveals why he has always said Colin Montgomerie is 'an arsehole'. It is a very funny, and detailed story, which you must hear.

Plenty to discuss on Talk Birdie To Me today, but we start with some sage life advice from Viktor Hovland, who appears to be branching out into a new career as a life coach.
Mark asks Nick about a rumour he has heard for years about caddies and the chaplains on the pro tour. And then we get onto the issue of the week - the world feed. Mark describes it as 'torture'.
Nick and Mark chat about Hovland's win at Valspar, his golf swing changes and his 'tomahawking'. Leads to a chat about swing changes, and golfers who 'owned' their swing, and Nick reveals every pro golfers fear.
JT's putting. Mark will do a masterclass later in the show saying that he will outline one thing you can do to help you putt like a pro.
We discuss some of the bad behaviour over the last week, if you're watching on YouTube, we play the videos - very funny. And Mark discusses Billy Horschel and how he appears to be muscling in on 'Nick O'Who' territory.
Mark believes he has identified why the PGA/LIV talks have stalled, and he blames Tiger Woods. He explains on the pod.
And we discuss the disaster that happened on the coverage of the Heritage Classic at the weekend. Nick had hoped it might be overlooked on the pod, it wasn't.
After the turn, Nick has an update that he has sourced during the show on the reason for the world feed. Then onto the Top 5 for Southern Golf Club, and Nick looks at the Top 5 comebacks following a swing change.
Lots of feedback - heavily centred on Nicks comments on Rory potentially changing his caddy, and on the world feed commentary. We get a trumpet update prior the the PING global results, and Mark has some news out of Augusta regarding trees. Yes trees. We are launching our new Talk Birdie To Me arborist podcast later this month. It will be riveting.
And a cracking masterclass from Mark on putting like a pro'.

We start today by talking about The Players, a wonderful tournament, and Nick and Mark discuss Rory's win. Mark believes it is time The Players became classed as a major, he loves the event. Nick agrees it is fantastic. Whilst Rory won, Nick has identified two things that he needs to do in order to win a (current) major this year, and he explains what they are and why they would make a huge difference. Mark has an observation on Rory's putting which we discuss. An interesting week for Rory, he won The Players, and also pinched a kids mobile phone. Reasonable behaviour or not? Nick and Mark give their view. And he made some interesting comments on The Champions Tour, which Ernie Els replied to, and we chat about.
Mark asks Nick about the tree on the 6th tee, and we discuss the Brandel Chamblee and Phil McGinley discussion about LIV and the PGA.
And we can't go to the turn without looking at how our Betr multi went on The Players.
Top 5 from Mark today is his Top 5 notable non-wagglers. Nick runs around the world with PING global results. And in feedback, we have a couple of book suggestions from wolfpackers, and lots of feedback on Nick and Marks comments about what courses are suitable to host The Australian Open.
We call John from Cootamundra, who tells us about a fantastic family Ambrose tournament this weekend - for more info you can call the pro shop here.
And a cracking masterclass from Nick on the three-quarter shot.

Today a bonus pod where we open up the Talk Birdie To Me 'book club'. We originally considered discussing Red Dog, or Little Women, or Pride and Prejudice, but then we thought we'd discuss golf books instead. Seems to make sense.
So today, Nick and Mark discuss some of their favourite books (listed below) and then we chat to film-maker and author Peter Dickson about his new golf book 'The Embedded Lie', which he describes as his 'love letter to golf'. So sit in your favourite chair, whack your feet up on a poufle, pour a lazy drink - and join the Talk Birdie To Me book club.
And Mark tells a great story about Jean van de Velde in The Open!
Nicks' favourite books:
Harvey Penick - Little Red BookMark Fisher - The Golfer and the MillionaireDr Bob Rotella - Putting Out Of Your MindJohn Feinstein - A Good Walk SpoiledMarks' favourite books:
Nick O'Hern - How to Play Your Best GolfNick O'Hern - Tour MentalitySteve Keipert and Tony Webeck- Aussies at The OpenPeter Thomson - Lessons I Have LearnedPaul Daley - Ben Hogan: The Yardstick of Golfing GreatnessPeter Dickson's book The Embedded Lie can be purchased here.
