A huge week in golf, every week seems to be at the moment. Before we get onto the big LIV news, and the new rules, Nick and Mark are pumped about the Aussies performance in the champions tour qualification. One of Marks top 5 things he's ever seen in golf,We have to discuss the huge Rahm deal to go to LIV. Mark believes this is a clear sign that talks have completely broken down between LIV and the PGA, Nick agrees. We discuss at length what it might mean, who's next, what the PGA can do to defend against the LIV poaching - if anything. The numbers are extraordinary. Both Nick and Mark have plenty of thoughts on what needs to be done, and describe the current situation in golf worldwide as 'sad'. Nick asks where will it all end, and Mark believes there is one first step that needs to be done to move towards a resolution, involving one particular person being removed from their current role.The new rules are confirmed. Nick and Mark support the changes, but don't believe they've gone far enough yet and discuss on the pod.Lots of feedback this week to discuss, including a couple of great questions from you. If you have any questions or comments, let us know on socials, email or voicemail. We have a ripping voicemail this week from David who has a couple of questions for Nick and Mark about visualisation and swing thoughts.As usual Nick takes us all over the world with the PING global results, plenty to look at, some excellent performances.This weeks Top 5 has a twist. Nick is counting down his Top 5 best shots of the year....but he can't narrow it down, so he makes an executive decision to expand it to a Top 10. When you hear the shows, hard to argue - all very worthy!And Mark does the masterclass this week on the importance of staying down, particularly at the start of your backswing.Talk Birdie To Me, new episodes weekly wherever you get your podcasts.
