McLaren's Golf Ambitions, Playoff Drama & Tips For Playing In The Rain | Episode 33

Sammy and Lynchy kick off the episode comparing notes from their week on the course, including a discussion on the difference between morning and afternoon golfers after Sammy has had some recent dawn tee times.

At (10:25), following the Melbourne F1 weekend, the boys chat through the news of McLaren entering the golf hardware space, and reflect on other big brands that have tried — and often failed — to break into golf equipment.

At (16:54), it’s Around the Grounds, starting with an incredible finish at the ISPS Handa Japan–Australasia Championship, where Travis Smyth prevailed on the sixth playoff hole against Jack Thompson. The guys then head to the PGA Tour, where Akshay Bhatia claimed a special win at Bay Hill in another playoff over Daniel Berger (30:48), before touching on Jon Rahm’s win at LIV Golf Hong Kong (36:30).

At (43:00), All In The Tips returns after Kelsey Bennett’s win in tough conditions, with Sammy asking Lynchy for a pro tip on how to keep playing well when the weather turns nasty — plus Lynchy shares a bonus putting drill.

At (47:13), The Scramble raises a rules debate: Should it be mandatory to look for your original ball first before claiming your provisional ball is in play?

At (54:56), Geelong legend and three-time premiership player Tom Hawkins jumps in with three quick Course Language Confessionals from his home track, Barwon Heads.

The episode wraps with a preview of the upcoming Heritage Classic on the PGA Tour of Australasia (56:46), before revisiting bag-gate at (1:04:51) — as the lads run through more things the average club golfer does that the pros never would… with Sammy once again in the firing line.
