    Daz Warburton - Fairway Talks Episode 5

    Brendan fires up the mic for a proper yarn with golf content creator and all-round NZ golf nut Daz Warburton. From nearly missing flights to epic rounds at hidden gems like Waverley (sheep farm included), Kinloch's brutal elevation tests, and caddying chaos at the NZ Open (shoutout to those 2024 bag-carrying stories), Daz spills the tea on what makes Kiwi golf so addictive—and humbling. Expect classic banter about bad shots, dream trips to Queenstown spots like The Hills and Millbrook, the mental grind of chasing birdies, and why "never let the truth ruin a good story" is basically the golf life motto. No swing fixes, just raw laughs, travel mishaps, and why the game keeps pulling us back. Grab a coffee, hit play, and join two mates talking golf the way it should be—unfiltered and full of heart. Golf. Life. Mindset. Big swings. Bigger yarns.
