Ep221: A 'Dumb, Stupid Idea that needs to change', and Why are our Amateur Tournaments not on our Best Courses?

After last weeks debacle when Mark broke our equipment resulting in the scrapping of half of the main show, let's see if we can get through this weeks without him destroying anything. No guarantees.

But it is a fun show!

01:00We loved the Walker Cup, not only for the golf but for the course. Stunning. How good is Lahinch!

02:00Which raises the issues of Walker Cup venues, Nick runs through the list....incredible.

03:00Mark asks why aren't Australian amateur tournaments at some of our great courses, and while they're at it, why aren't they matchplay?

06:00We look at the great bunker shot from amateur Josh Hill in the Walker Cup, at a critical moment.

07:00Big chat.....Pros getting their amateur status back, and playing amateur tournaments. Nick and Mark are, with certain exceptions, not fans.They explain why, and give some examples.

12:00Nick explains why he turned down the opportunity to play in a tournament of this nature when he returned to Australia.

13:00Mark says it is ridiculous to have Pros playing pennant.

15:00For Hostplus, this weeks plus for golf is as 12-year old 'Beat the Pro' entrant in Switzerland! And Nick and Mark discuss the famous Seve 'over the wall' shot at the same venue.

18:00A LIV update on the 'White Knight' investor, and we discuss the debt for equity approach that appears to be being taken.

26:00BMW Touch of Class, we go back to Switzerland for the DP World Tour and the runner up in the tournament Paul Casey is our winner this week.
