We open today's pod discussing the magician who is Scottie Scheffler, he really is extraordinary at the moment and we discuss his performance at the weekend in the BMW Championship, and look at his stats. Just wow.Speaking of BMW, this week we welcomed BMW on board as a major partner, Nick is driving an X5 - and can't stop talking about it after his trip to Cathedral at the weekend in it! And we have an update on our Talk Birdie Golf Day at Links Hope Island with a former star footballer telling Mark he's planning on coming with a whole bunch of friends. Tickets still available - all the info here for Wednesday October 8th.Bob MacIntyre, Mark watched him speak to the media after round 3 and feels he made a rookie error in how he spoke, which bit him the next day when his round 4 started badly. Mark explains why, and tells a story from when he played in the New Zealand Open and did something similar. Very funny.Our new segment - A Touch Of Class - starts today, for BMW, and the inaugural recipient is Sebastián Muñoz who wins it, not for his 59 at the weekend, but for something else. We explain on the pod. Which brings us to LIV and Rahm winning the individual title without winning a single event. Reasonable or ridiculous? Nick and Mark have a strong view. We discuss the LIV relegations, and Mark has an idea for LIV re: a Monday Q style structure which he explains to Nick.Mark and Dan accidentally offend Nick over a comment re: an award that he won 2-years running. Ouch.The Australian Amateurs. Mark suggests Golf Australia can do better, and outlines an idea that he feels would be perfect for the Mens and Womens Amateur tournament, leading into our Top 5 for Betr - where Mark lists 5 Australian courses that he feels could host the Australian Amateurs and look great on TV for overseas viewers.A reminder of our Talk Birdie / Betr multi on the Tour Championship, it is one we feel is gettable. Scheffler to beat Rory, J.J.Spaun, Tommy and Justin Rose by 5.5, paying 7 bucks. Last weekend he beat 3 of them by more than that, and one of them by 5 - so this is a very gettable multi. Go to the Betr website or app, search Betr specials and the Talk Birdie multi is there.PING Globals, lots to run through including a fantastic win from Richard Green! Feedback for Southern Golf Club, Nick and Mark share their fave Tiger story from the Steve Williams pod - if you haven't heard or watched it, well worth it. Lots of feedback on Steve's chat, some comments on LIV, plus a 'whack' for Mark from a wolfpacker who says Mark has 'offended' him.And a cracking masterclass from Nick on the importance of sequencing.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And watchMynumbers and Southern Golf Club.
