Golf Podcasts

A quick heads up.

I'm not a big fan of Alan Shipnuck (sp), but on the golf.com podcast feed he has has an interview with Phil Mickelson which is pretty decent. Some great stories and insights into his life on tour. I think it's dated about 24th Jan.

I've just discovered the golf.com podcast too and thought the Mickelson interview was very good. Love the story about one of Bones vetoes.
When I find a new podcast I listen to all the old ones as well. Harrington was pretty good too.

I've also just found a Feherty one but not listened to any of those yet.
 
Nlu also did one recently on golf in Korea. It was a real eye opener - quite the James bond experience.

What with the pods listed here, YouTube and the forums, golf media has changed a LOT over the last 5 years.

The more I hear about golf abroad, the luckier I feel playing in the British isles.
 
I know it's been referenced somewhere else, but I have been listening to the 'On the mark' podcast recently.

The most recent one (with a US coach called Jeff Smith) was particularly interesting (to me,anyway). Discussion of ball striking and bio mechanics.

There are loads of other good ones in the back catalogue. Mark Imelman has a habit of getting a bit excited when the interviewee mentions one of his favourite topics, but he's decent enough.

I've fallen behind on my podcast listening recently and need to listen to the Jeff Smith one. I follow him on twitter and Instagram and he always has a lot of information to share.

I agree with your comments about Mark, he does get really excited to the point of always interrupting points but in a way its good because he gets more out of the discussion.
 
I listen to a few as others have said

On the Mark - good but you will end up likeing Bridgestone Golf balls
No Laying Up
The Cut - BBC

Funnily enough I much prefer to listen in the car whilst driving rather than anywhere else
 
Started listening to a new (to me) golf pod recently.
I'm a bit reluctant to big it up, as it's got a slightly rambling presentation style which might not meet with wide approval, but I quite enjoy its eccentric delivery.
It's Shotgun Start, and features Andy Johnson and Brendan porath who are two US golf types. It has a lot of in jokes and tropes which take some getting used to but.... They review the current golfing scene and generally have a stab at the pomposity of the PGA tour and pro golf in general. In that respect a bit like nlu Twitter before they want corporate.

They love Westy (Westwood) too, which gets a tick from me.

Absolutely love Shotgun Start. Hilarious how niche it is and that they don't pander to any golfer, tournament or manufacturer.

Haha. Thank goodness I'm not the only one. Golf really needs this angle, as the PGA tour in particular is positively Soviet in its control over media and 'the message', whilst independent golf journalismn is almost dead in the water.

Yes. They do go a bit overboard in terms of hating on the PGA Tour and seemingly every event for something.

During the Open I was absolutely buzzing for the update every night with the stories going around re: the hot Drivers, Bob MacIntyre having a go at Kyle Stanley for not shouting fore and Westy being in the mix (and I was also fully on top of his qualifying for the Masters with a top 3 (or 5) finish).

Just picked up on McKellar (same guys who did By The Minute Golf Podcast).

Easy listening

This is spooky, as literally found it today after posting about the shotgun start pod.
Really pleased, as always enjoyed Lawrence/Huggy in their previous incarnation (bythemin golf).
Also, I seem to remember that they might have fallen out, but maybe not.
Another not-establishment viewpoint, so good to have.

Isn’t Andy Johnson a Scottish YouTuber?

Andy Johnson is an American guy who runs the Fried egg website and podcast. He's mostly interested in golf architecture issues, which although I have an interest in, I can't sustain enough interest to get me through a whole pod.
 
A couple of plugs for things I've listened to recently in case anyone needs anything to listen to on their hikes around the UK's beauty spots ;).

Some memories of Seve with Billy Foster, Tony Johnson and Mike Clayton. Some great stories from 3 guys who are a good listen about any number of golf topics.

In case the link doesn't work it's the Good Good golf podcast episode 25.

The second is a great review of Ian Woosnam's career on this Monday's (30th march) episode of Shotgun Start. Every episode of this pod is great, but this one was particularly good because hearing Americans discussing just how precarious life was on the European tour is quite insightful. It's always interesting to hear how others perceive you.

If I had hours to kill, I'd give a listen to the shotgun start from the start of this season, it's been excellent.
