Birthday Wishes, Skins and Down Under Fun

Step onto the tee for another lively loop with DA and 15-year Tour Caddy Mick Middlemo on Tales From the Tips.
In this episode, the guys take you from the sun-soaked fairways of the Australian Open to the pressure-packed moments of the BMW Australian PGA Championship, breaking down the storylines, surprises, and standout performances that defined both events.

Between laughs and light-hearted chirping, DA and Mick dig into the realities of winter golf—those frosty practice sessions, numb fingers, and the diehard rituals that keep players sharp when the temperatures drop. They also shine a well-deserved spotlight on rising star Nina, a young talent whose poise and power have her poised to turn heads on the LPGA Tour.

Blending personal stories with sharp insight, this episode captures everything we love about the game: the grind, the growth, the characters, and the community. Whether you're here for the banter or the breakdowns, you’re walking away entertained—and maybe even inspired to hit the range (gloves optional).
