Is Golf Still A Posh Sport? & The 10 Hours A Week Rule
Alright Par Pals, it’s Monday, Tom wrote notes, and that historically means a good one. On the show: Tom is still not dead. Connor is still not a murderer. The lesson got hollow tined into next Tuesday. How many hours a week do you actually need to get better at golf? Tom Price reckons ten and...

I’m Meeting A Man From The Internet To Fix My Chipping
Alright Par Pals TP is off to Hemel today to meet a man from the internet called Connor, who heard about the chipping yips on the pod and reckons he can fix them in an hour. If there’s a new co-host next week, you’ll know what happened. 😅 Also: TG’s club has quietly solved the Stableford crisis...
-
Blitz Golf Is Back (And We’ve Been Invited Again)
Alright Par Pals 👋 We’re going live to Australia this week to speak to Simon from Blitz Golf, who’s bringing it back to the UK for SIX events next summer. He’s also invited us back, which seems generous given TG came last, TP came one off last, and the main contribution either of us made was a...
-
Is Playing The Forward Tees Cheating?
Alright Par Pals 👋 Christy reckons he’s found a golf cheat code: move up to the forward tees, shoot 90, actually enjoy yourself. But is he improving, or has he just made the course smaller? TP is also FINALLY getting a chipping lesson after a pro heard about the yips on the pod and offered to…

I Hate Golf (A 72 Hour Breakdown)
A genuinely miserable 72 hours in our golfing lives. TP bent the entire world to get to the medal (dog walked, kids’ football sorted, chipping practised) and then shot 15 over, went in six bunkers, lost a ball under a bridge in three feet of leaves and announced on the fifth that he was going…

Losing Swing Speed Might Actually Make You Better
Alright Par Pals 👋 Ben writes in with one of the great golfing triumphs: 12 shots off the Order of Merit leader going into the final major, then shoots the round of his life and wins the lot. Two boards, one very annoyed cocky bloke. 🏆 We've also got TP's full pre-medal meltdown (nervous,...
-
The Worst Calculation You Can Do In Golf 😩 (Don't Do It)
Alright Par Pals 👋 TP is hungover (rocky roads until midnight, which is well past his self-imposed 9pm "middle aged midnight") and TG has been up since six with coffee, so the energy levels are wildly mismatched this morning. Sorry in advance. ☕ We also do the worst piece of maths in golf: take...
-
Golf Needs A Tinder For People With No Mates
Alright Par Pals 👋 TG is properly poorly and blowing his nose directly into the microphone, so apologies in advance. But stick with it, because this one gets emotional at the end. 🤧 Harrison writes in with a genuine dilemma: his grandad, an avid golfer of 60 years, has passed away and left him...
-
The Mindset That Finally Got Me Back In The 70s
Alright Par Pals 👋 TP is hungover and has a speed awareness course to get to, so this is a brisk one. But there's a genuinely good lesson in it: when you're playing well, do NOT take your foot off the gas. Attack, attack, attack. TG shot 79 yesterday, his first round in the 70s in months, and…

Fear Is Ruining Your Golf
Alright Par Pals Max emails in with a proper gut-punch of a round at the Rolls of Monmouth (a course he only played because of this podcast, which we're still not over). Three under with one to play, a par needed for a 69, and then Noel Fielding turns up uninvited on the 18th tee. What follows is…

Golf's Biggest Questions With Today's Golfer (LIV 2.0, 2026 Gear, Rory & The New Tour Format)

Is The Belfry Actually Any Good?
Alright Par Pals 👋 Well, we've done it now. TG's take on The Belfry has genuinely split our socials down the middle, to the point where a professional golfer messaged him to have a go about it. So we're going back in properly: what The Belfry actually is, what it isn't, and why the whole debate...

1,000 Golf Courses In 1,000 Days 😳

I've Stopped Using Tees Completely
TP has become That Guy. He's ditched tees entirely, chucks the ball straight down on the deck and hits three wood off it, and reckons it's the coolest thing in golf (very John Daly coded, apparently). We get into why compressing a three wood feels so much better than releasing a driver, and…

The Best Thing You Can Buy In Golf Right Now 👀
Alright Par Pals 👋 Big monologue energy from TG this week as he asks whether the handicap system, brilliant as it is for competitive golf, is actually getting in the way of us enjoying the sport we love. He shot 86 and then 89 over the weekend and didn't care one bit, and reckons that's the…

Is It EVER Okay To Be A Bandit?
Alright Par Pals 👋 A sponsor-free, brought-to-you-by-YOU email corner this week, and it's a good one. We debate whether there's ever a circumstance where it's genuinely okay to be a bandit (Liam from Germany might just have found it), and marvel at the world's longest seven wood, a 250 yard…
more -
