Ep8: The National, The Masters, and the Commentators Curse

What a massive week in golf, The Masters is around the corner, and The National has just finished. Mark can’t believe how Tom Power Horan marked his ball at The National, and Nick thinks he might be onto something. Mark played a round with a 'kid' who marked his ball with something even more unusual. The National was great - even with the 'commentators curse' - and what Tom Power Horan did on the 8th hole was magical. Nick and Mark explain on the podcast. Mark talks about the opportunities that ...

Ep7: Can Jason Day Win The Masters?

Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen are back with another episode of Talk Birdie To Me, and it starts with a disagreement. Mark loves the matchplay when there is World Cup style groups prior to the Top 16, Nick isn't a fan and prefers 1v1. Ironically, Mark reckons Nick is the reason why it is the way it is given he knocked out Tiger twice. Oh they don't get to that until after a bit of chardonnay chat. Ridiculous. This golf podcast is going downhill fast. But back to the golf, and it's all about The Mast...

Ep6: The PGA Drama Has Been Fantastic!

After Nick murdered a bottle of chardonnay on the show last week, the show opens with a discussion about a drink or two during the pod. But after that, Nick and Mark are both pumped about Gabi Ruffels great performance from the weekend, what a great win, big future coming up. Mark talks about Gabi’s early days, her first ever swing, and her performance as a 15-year old at Victoria Golf Club. And how about David Micheluzzi, great performance in NSW and he’s now in the Open, and has a DP World Tou...

Ep5: The Five Worst Ever Rules in Golf

This week on Talk Birdie To Me, Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen are apart, much like Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in Sleepless in Seattle, the boys are in different parts of the country. Although at the end of the episode they don't meet up and make out, which is a relief all round. Nick is at the famous Cathedral Golf Course in regional Victoria, whilst Mark is doing the show overlooking the fourth hole at Box Hill Golf Course in Melbourne. You'll hear birds and the occasional golf swing in the background...

Ep4: Mark Allen 'The Worst Person I Ever Played With'

This week on Talk Birdie To Me, Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen talk about their love of Royal Melbourne, and take us through the new renovations - specifically the carpark which Mark describes as the 'best carpark in Australia by a mile'. Some people don't love the Royal Melbourne course, the boys don't get that, they love it and explain why. And Mark has a theory on the greens at Royal Melbourne which involves Ernie Els. Mark tells a great story about how former Tour Pro Wayne Smith virtually saved...

🏌🏿‍♂️Bonus: Wade Ormsby Talks LIV - Exemptions, Playing Rights, Fees, Contracts

Ep3: Nick O'Hern 'We Mortgaged Our House to Play in the US'

Week 9 of the season, and there's so much going on in golf that the podcast could probably run for 3-hours - and whilst it's tempting, we'll keep it to a more manageable duration. Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen discuss The Honda Classic from last week - the extraordinary results all leading up to a playoff between Eric Cole and Chris Kirk. The boys discuss the personal demons that Kirk has dealt with, and how impressive the win was at the weekend given those challenges. Nick and Mark both chat about...
