<p>We're getting plenty of feedback and questions coming in, sometimes we take a bit of time to get to them, but we're trying to work through them all as we can. Today on the pod we start by talking about a photo Nick shared on his instagram page - see it <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DIV_Eu1T-j9/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3D&fbclid=IwY2xjawJsDiRleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHu-1E844alZq2WktuXPSFDNgOFOW1pyldkE2guWaWqnXpfqwQlUYcDVZw6Zq_aem_5Nt35WP72w6gV66tkkKpmw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> - it's a great pic of Nick's caddy Wilbur at Augusta waiting for Nick.</p><br><p>Speaking of caddies, Mark was lined up this week by one of his former caddies who felt Mark was being a bit harsh on Rory McIlroy's caddy Harry Diamond, and Mark goes on to tell a story about how he nearly killed his caddy driving to Queensland.</p><br><p>Plenty of feedback on the member/guest fee conversation, some different perspectives. And there is a short, yet brutal, whack for Nick and Mark from a wolfpacker called Dougie who is a Monty fan. And back onto caddies, former tour caddy Eddie Munster also wrote in about Monty.</p><br><p>Nick gives two reasons why The Masters is the worlds greatest golf tournament, and Mark gives some feedback to FootJoy.</p><br><p>We have a video sent in by wolfpacker Martin of his mate Steve who uses a putter, perhaps not exactly how it was intended....but seemingly successfully. The vision confuses Nick and Mark, if you watch it when the YouTube vodcast comes out, you'll see why...it is very unusual.</p><br><p>And Nick and Mark discuss Rory's putting and make the statement that if he can address some putting issues, it is scary how good he will be, Nick describes the potential of Rory as 'domination'.</p><br><p>And we finish with some fantastic news about a member at Lake Karrinyup who has achieved something quite special.</p><br><p>We do the show from Titleist and FootJoy HQ, thanks to our great partners:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;</li><li>FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;</li><li>PING will help you play your best.

<p>Today's podcast is all about The Masters and the extraordinary tournament we watched. And of course, we start with Rory who was clearly already an incredible player, but is now a legend.</p><br><p>Mark describes what we saw as 'breathtaking drama', and Nick and Mark just sit and chat about the tournament. We have no runsheet or plan for todays show, aside from to debrief on The Masters and talk about what we all saw in one of the great tournaments, and particularly on the final day, one of golfs great days.</p><br><p>Nick describes what we saw from Rory as 'resilience', and admired how he continually would come back and never give up. Nick and Mark discuss a number of the holes, the shots, the ebb and flow moments. We discuss how Rory would have been feeling at those moments where it didn't go his way, and how he managed to come back every time.</p><br><p>And on Rory's caddy Harry. Mark describes Harry as a 'good caddy', Nick says Rory needs a 'great caddy', and says that with a better caddy, Rory wins by 6 shots. Mark lists what he refers to as Harrys 'sackable offences during The Masters'.</p><br><p>Nick raises the Monday Q Twitter page and how he loved following it during the tournament. He recommends that if you're not following it, get on board!</p><br><p>Rory's shot on the 15th in the final round. Nick calls it the 'sexiest shot in golf'. Mark makes the claim that given the circumstances, the pressure, what was on the line, it was the greatest shot ever hit in golf.</p><br><p>We discuss Justin Rose's performance, which obviously is overshadowed by Rory, however was brilliant. Nick and Mark full of admiration for Justin.</p><br><p>Mark loved the commentary and was so pleased it was the traditional commentators.</p><br><p>We discuss the footage of Rory in the Champions Locker Room for the first time. Beautiful to watch.</p><br><p>Nick asks Mark how Rory will go over the next few tournaments, we discuss what they are and how he is placed.</p><br><p>Nick says the round of the tournament was from Nick Dunlap, and explains why.</p><br><p>A great Top 5 from Mark today, he lists what he feels are the Top 5 Mens Major Tournaments in the history of golf. How does the 2025 Masters rank?</p><br><p>In the PING Global results, Nick says that Rory must now be considered the greatest ever European player. Mark agrees.</p><br><p>Feedback today, as you might expect is all on The Masters.</p><br><p>We do the show from Titleist and FootJoy HQ, thanks to our great partners:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;</li><li>FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;</li><li>PING will help you play your best.

<p>Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen have worn FootJoy their entire career, and given we do the pod from FootJoy and Titleist HQ we thought we'd grab the FootJoy Product Manager for Australia & New Zealand, Chris Patterson, to have a chinwag about golf shoes generally, trends, and some of what they've got coming.</p><br><p>We discussed exactly what Chris does at FootJoy, and what he looks for when decided what to range for these markets. Chris talks about current trends in golf shoes, both for 'normal' golfers and Tour Pros. He runs us through some of the current range, and gives a sneak peak at a shoe coming out later in 2025....Nick and Mark are VERY excited for it.</p><br><p>Mark asks what the key differences are between a normal shoe and a golf shoe, and why it is important. Nick asks how golf shoes have changed over the years. Is a shoe fitting beneficial? Clearly for tour pros it makes sense, but what about us normies? Chris talks to that.</p><br><p>Mark is curious as to whether ball speed can be influenced by your golf shows, and Chris tells us about Justin Thomas and Cam Young and what has happened to their ball speed since changing shoes. Extraordinary.</p><br><p>Nick and Mark both love the MyJoy concept and Nick asks what are some of the craziest things Chris has seen?</p><br><p>A fascinating chat with Chris, the FootJoy Product Manager, and a great reminder of why FootJoy are the number one shoe (and glove) in golf.</p><br><p>We do the show from Titleist and FootJoy HQ, thanks to our great partners:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;</li><li>FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;</li><li>PING will help you play your best.
