You guys may be too young to remember Mac O'Grady, who won a couple of PGA events in the 80s, and played to scratch left-handed. He tried to get his amateur status back for left-handed play, and also tried to enter a PGA best-ball tournament as a single (one ball right, one ball left). Love the podcasts, Happy New Year!

That guy was a nutter lol
MASSIVE cart path bounce... squirrel grabbed the ball and somehow dropped it on a massive hill next to the green... walked upto the green after not knowing where my ball has been all hole... only to find it sat in the hole. Hole in one to kick the year off. Superb.
Happy New Year you guys ! Love that Podcast, great chat and funny bits , good luck for 2024 !
Pete...the next trip you plan to the US, you need to include The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, SC and Harbour Town at Hilton Head, SC. They're only a couple hours apart.
Happy New Year! I love your fantastic podcast Peter, Kieran, Jacob and Mick

Happy new year guys…… can’t wait to see what’s gonna happen this year 👍
Thanks for the videos! A recommendation for a golf trip video, Cabot Cliffs and Cabot Links in Nova Scotia Canada. They’re ranked the top in the country and just a quick hop across the pond from you 😁
Peter, Just learned that you will return to competition. Great. As mentioned earlier last year, you have all the tools to reach and exceed your primary goals... Congratulations and success if right in front y Of you... Go get it!!! Chee4s Guy
Aced that hole on G.T.P but I totally thinned the driver rolled the cart path and bounced onto a bowl green with cup cut in the bottom 😅. Great podcast as always, I see another year of this being my absolute favorite podcast.
Welcome back gang, you've been missed. Great content as always!
Can say that I have had the pleasure of playing the old course at Sunningdale…in the sunshine….and I can say that it was amazing! I hope you get to experience that too Peter 😃
I have a 105-110swing and around 167 ball speed with a 9 degree stiff adila shaft to about 270 yards ….. cobra fspeed(still mint lol!!) Wonder what the comparison would be with the new cobra…… hit lasts years one and was so much more forgiving but never found out the yardage Love the old vs new comparisons Great work guys This club is nearly 20 years old
Welcome back gang, you've been missed. Great content as always 👍

Sunningdale Old is just one of the nicest golf courses. It's like you most comfortable pair of Footjoys. They're so nice there.
Happy new year guys
Full bag of Kirkland gear is going to be the cool thing to have this year!
Great podcast as always. I happened to make condor on guess the player!
“King Charles with abdecate” from Jacob had be rolling 😂 1:10:00
Loads of great courses in Ireland! Ballybunion, Lahinch, Trahlee, Waterville, etc
Would love to see you over here in Ireland. Kerry has some great links courses, Ballybunion, Tralee, Waterville to name but a few
I think the thing about the low score courses is that if you have one bad hole, you're out of it (Bhatia at the 1st on Sunday). The higher scoring courses mean that it keeps more scores alive throughout the tournament.
I am a longtime follower of Rick Shiels, and I do love his stuff, but I think this podcast is much better than his. The banter and the conversation are just fantastic. Also, the Rick Shiels Podcast has always felt a little bit like an ad for the rest of his content, and they even admitted to that when they read one of my comments, years ago. I suppose it’s fair enough, but I enjoy Peter and the gang’s a lot better. Anyway, keep up the good work!

An idea for a series would be off the back of BustaJack’s series, where you play at the top rated course in every county in the UK. Would be a lot easier than all 50 states! Loving the content 😍
Talking of doing charitable things… Have you thought about a little vlog tour of the UK bringing attention to those poor Golf Clubs that are finding it hard to keep the gates open in these tough times? I have a great course you could start @ not far from you in North Wales. 😉
Well, I listened to this podcast in the car earlier today, now to catch it on youtube. The addiction continues! 😂 Keep up the good work lads 👍

I’ve been watching yours and Ricks upto 5 year old driver reviews. The distances haven’t changed much. Whenever a new driver is released and compared to last year very little change. It’s surprising so many new drivers sell. We all like shiny new things

1:28:00 2024 starts off with a bang. Hole in One!! 2023 Guess the player was rough and this might be a huge fluke but I’m taking it 🎉
For the putter,... just go with something completely different. I'm extremely happy with my Pinhawk Deadbolt reverse armlock putter. Where I'm not using it as a reverse armlock by the way with the thinner grip. What be awesome to see you use or try it. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

The look of indignation on Pete's face to even suggest giving away those Samurai blades. Not a chance 😂
Pete, you should really consider hopping over the pond and getting fit by Ian Fraser of Club Champion KZread! He seems to be the best of the best and it would be an awesome collab!
Please, make a video (instructional OR a fun among all of you) of how to hit a ”reverse” shot! To be honest, I think once/twice a year I do hit it… being on the wrong side of a tree, so it would not be only for fun 😅!
I think, by Peter's reaction, he may have considered putting the Wilson irons in the bag.
Your number 1 listener from Thailand, good podcast to begin the year but does Mick have to comment on everything?
The only podcast I listen to religiously! Great one as always.

I lived though the Baggie pant era , back then the fabrics where not as stretchy as they can be now. I personally don’t like pants that look like pajamas or scrubs or sweat pants , they catch on stuff and just don’t work well for outdoor activities . The jogger look is equally annoying…. Just where Lycra dudes. A nice in between stretchy pant that is comfortable is perfect.
I made a hole in one, then changed my answer on the second shot, then changed my answer again on the third shot, and finally made birdie without changing my answer anymore. So frustrating Mic.😅
Pete man love your content buddy but need to change that Seahawks sweater along w/ the clubs for the 2024 season! haha JK go Niners! jokes aside, love the content dude.
Not personally a fan of -25 + winning a tournament, however the set up there and weather conditions helped massively to get that score.. I think from memory that back 9 was playing like -5 on that final day.... Sungjae slim..

Hole in one on a par 5 with Ludvig lol
Ludvig Aberg - Hole in one!
There are golfers at every club, who care more about how fast they take to play 18 holes, than how well they scored. In their opinion, every round should take less than 2hrs 30mins. As Peter pointed out, they tend to be the same age demographic as mentioned in the tale. Happy New year team.

it has to be balance, surely. Some tournaments when your stood on each tee for 10-15mins the lactic acid builds in the legs and the swing gets laboured...impossible to put a score together like that.

@@hadesignite I agree, there are negative consequences for waiting on tee's or the fairway, and there has to be some balance. The truth is we do have golfers at every club, who think that emulating the top tour pro's, taking up-teen practice swings, then duffing it into the long grass 50 yds from the tee, add to that, they then spend way above 3 minutes looking for the ball, all without playing a provisional from the tee, then walk back to re-hit. These are the groups that slow the game down for everyone behind them, and will not let groups through. The selfish types, who need to be told each week about their slow play. Better still, rather than members arguing with each other, after yet another 5hr plus round. The committee, should after 2 warnings, given golfers a one-week suspension, maybe then, they would clean up their act, be more thoughtful of other golfers who don't waste time, and are thoughtful about their pace of play.
Happy New Year! When you say "Avengers", do you mean Marvel, or the 1960s British espionage series? If the latter, does that make Peter "Mother"? 😆

@RoughCutGolfPodcast my very first set I bought 2nd hand and it already had an extra inch cap on them. My new set I bought a few months ago are stock and honestly i havnt really noticed a difference yet. I will be getting a fitting sooner or later and I'll figure out what I actually need.
Love Pete but he clearly has a thing for Taylormade and against Callaway, going with the steath over the paradigm show it especially after breaking the face twice, and that in his picking the driver video he hit the stealth a couple yards longer but the miss hit were so much worse then the paradigm. Yes it is a personal choice and that is what it is up to but....
Professional Golf is the opposite of darts, and that is it's main issue. Golf is a sport I love to play, and the number of people who play it seems to be growing, but they're playing it, not watching it. I don't watch golf, except for the Masters and the Ryder Cup so the PGA Tour gets very little from me as a fan of the sport. But with darts, I will almost never play it, but would always be up for watching it. So professional darts gets more from me as a fan, than golf, even though I play lots of golf and no darts. Somehow the PGA needs to convert people who play golf into golf viewers. I have no idea how they do that, but whoever works that out would be pretty handy for PGA Tour prize pools

Not to split hairs, but The Masters is technically NOT a PGA. It's a private, invitational tournament.
Has Jacob had his eyebrows waxed 😂
So who was Mick licking the lid and raising the eyebrows for?
pga needs to decide if they want sponsorship and viewing figures to please the sponsors. Or carry on with pay to watch events where they cash in. With the cost of living issues at the moment tv subscriptions are dropping and you cant watch golf without it.
They release a new driver every year, because people buy a new driver they don't need every year... And then they complain about companies releasing a new drivers every year. The circle of consumerism

Talking that much about new drivers: I am a 10hcp and I am pretty sure that I can hit any of those drivers and I would not see any difference at all. Any difference would be mentally.

Would love to see some kind of "blind test" of those drivers, even with peter. Just spray them and put some stickers to hide which one it is and then try to find differences.
I got a hole in one! Just guess with his parent’s name.
Peter, what does insane mean? FFS.
Dear God, the into and the music is so cringeworthy- make it stop
I see big improvement on the Toe..... it is adding 8 to even 12 yards ..... the Heel strikes are better but not that much.....but low strikes and high strikes not much difference A I Smoke tho Toe strikes makes the Difference for me. #CallawayGolf
