The Golf Boom, Father/Son Golfing Greats & Mitch Lewis Plays A Quick 9 | Episode 32

The lads open the show with an honest assessment of their own games after a tough week on course, before Lynchy raises a feel good point about how good a spot the game of golf is in right now. With more young people and more women taking up the game than ever before, the boys put their five cents in on what’s driven the growth over the past few years. At (20:56), they discuss Tiger Woods being given a deadline to decide whether he’ll captain the US Ryder Cup team at Adare Manor in 2027. At (27:30), with John Daly II set to play his first big event at the Puerto Rico Open, the conversation shifts to the greatest father/son duos in golf history. At (29:50), it’s Around the Grounds, starting with Daniel Hillier winning his home NZ Open, holding off Lucas Herbert who also nabbed a spot at The Open. At (48:08), the guys preview the upcoming ISPS Handa Japan–Australasia Championship at Royal Auckland Golf Club. Then at (52:43), The Course Language Confessional returns — sparked by the father/son chat, with a story involving Bill Haas and Lynchy reflecting on a night out after his 2011 FedEx Cup win, plus a mini confessional from Sammy as “bag-gate” continues to follow him around. Finally, at (58:23), one of the AFL’s best forwards — and arguably its best golfer — Mitch Lewis joins the show for a Quick 9. Proudly presented by Callaway.
