Lot of fun this week on Talk Birdie To Me, and if you can, we'd love you to subscribe, rate and review the pod wherever you listen. It really helps with the algorithms of the pod platforms to share us more widely.We start this week with some of the fantastic French commentary of Matthieu Pavon's win at Torrey Pines last weekend. Fantastic! Nick and Mark both watched a bit of it and discuss the tournament and Pavon's win. Mark was pleased with how well the internationals were doing. However, both are not fans of the Torrey Pines course, saying it's just a bad course - Mark describes it as a joke of a course.As expected, Nick Dunlap turned pro last week, Mark feels that Nick not playing Torrey Pines was a smart move as he could have cost himself a lot of cash if he'd missed the cut.Nick and Mark discuss the club head speed drills that they are seeing more of.Whilst Mark has failed miserably with his homework on guests coming on the pod, Nick has arranged for Gary Lisbon to have a chat with us about his new book, we'll chat with Gaz over the next week or two. We then have a chat about what golf books Nick and Mark would recommend you read.LIV seems to be a bit late on confirmation of the teams, particularly as it starts this coming friday. Nick and Mark discuss, and Pete from Brisbane calls in with a rumour he's heard about the name of the new Jon Rahm team. Maybe Pete is our new 'breaking news' reporter?** update: since the pod was recorded, this rumour has been confirmed by LIV **Mark has an idea about a grand slam of hole in ones that he runs by Nick.A ripping Top 5 this week, Mark counts down the Top 5 dodgiest things in golf that he's seen. Very funny.

And a great question from Ben about the Grand Prix of Golf concept, which the boys discuss - Mark has some info direct from Scottie Scheffler's brother in law, from Scottie.Great masterclass is on uphill lies inspired by a few poor shots in the Torrey Pines and Rosebud tournaments at the weekend.Talk Birdie To Me, new episodes weekly wherever you get your podcasts.
