Customer Reviews
Just needs a tweak for 5 stars
The guys get excellent guests which makes for potentially fascinating shows. However as other reviews point out it’s a bit Heath Robinson in terms of research / preparation, at least where LD is concerned, which is any easy fix. More key for the listener is abbreviating the rambling questioning style of LD which often finishes with him answering himself. He has a tendency to cut across guests mid flow too, which is a shame as most seem happy to speak freely when able (see Padraig, Chubby C as examples). JH has a depth of knowledge and perhaps could be more of a lead on the questioning? In essence more space for guests to talk to topics would be great.
Spinning a tale…
As usual a great podcast but…the seeming defence of Mickelson came as a huge surprise. You cannot defend the indefensible. And the apparent criticism of Rory is way offline. He simply put into words what all reasonable people wanted to say. Still it provokes discussion.
Great listening
Thoroughly enjoying this podcast series. Laughed a lot during the Trump edition too.
It’s great to hear a tale on golf that’s anti-country club and really about the pure and simple joys of the game. Great guests too 👍
