Winter is coming and the problem with junior sport
From temporary greens to rules that can catch you out, winter golf brings many challenges – and it will be upon us. again before we know it.This week, Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll get into the realities of keeping your game going through the colder months. Can you be bothered if you’re not on proper greens? Should fairway mats be anywhere near your club? Should we just stick to the driving range instead?They also ask whether junior golf is becoming too focused on producing elite players at the expense of enjoying the sport.

Would you report a cheat?
Cheating in golf is almost unspoken. Everyone knows it goes on. It whispers through the corridors of our clubs and explodes onto social media almost every time there’s a drop a few keyboard warriors don’t like. It can be a difficult topic to discuss and even harder to deal with. What do you do? If you’ve seen someone cheating, how would you handle it? Should club players be expected to police themselves in dealing with possible cheaters – even if it could lead to friction on the course?Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll get into the debate: asking if cheating is widespread, what counts as cheating, and whether we just love a bit of drama in our clubhouses and online. The duo also get into the latest on golf ball roll back. Just what is going on in the golf course distance debate? And Steve has an unappealing rules scenario for Tom to solve. Hosted on Acast.
