@TalkBirdie_ToMe @nickohern @MarkAllenGolf Cal Club in San Francisco - great course and clubhouse. And they fly the flag above the clubhouse for international visitors! And I have been lucky enough to play Pine Valley and the history in the clubhouse is extraordinary.

@TalkBirdie_ToMe @nickohern @MarkAllenGolf Hi - you have mentioned on a few pods a power board that shuts off after 8 hours so you don't burn down your house when charging your electric buggy battery - I cant find the brand name in your transcripts. What's it called and where can you get it? Thanks!

@Top100Rick @doug4au The other issue is around crowds - restricted viewing and access around the fairways and how difficult it is to get them in and out of the course.

Hey @MarkAllenGolf - saw this and recalled you and @nickohern talking about your dislike on @TalkBirdie_ToMe - this verdict sums it up... "... using the line ... likely does little more than annoy your playing partners...." mygolfspy.com/labs/mgs-labs-…

@TalkBirdie_ToMe @nickohern @MarkAllenGolf I must have been in the same queue at Royal Sydney for the book signing - and a chat @nickohern he was an absolute gentleman.

@ewanports @PGAofAustralia Jeff finished 2nd last weekend in the Royal Sydney Cup. 20 pros and 40 amateurs, 36 holes in a day. One step at a time!

@MarkAllenGolf Done. Easy to set up and use... Only "issue" is the ads they have sold to run above the bottom menu. I thought we paid for the GA handicap service? Fat thumbs mean ads gets clicked in error and takes you off the page.

@MarkAllenGolf @nickohern If you are in the North East of the US looking for great golf after Pine Valley, get to Aronimink as it is amazing. And has the PGA there in 2026. And Bethpage Black is a must play too.

@WarrenSmithFOX That’s awesome. Thanks for the detail! Did they let you visit the members pro shop too? Or is that pushing their friendship?

@NoLayingUp @highnoonsunsips Hey guys - the course announced for LIV Adelaide exists. North Adelaide is a public golf course on the edge of the inner city and is 36 holes and also has 9 hole par 3. It’s well overdue a refresh. Will be a win for public golfers for the other 50 weeks of the year.

@MarkAllenGolf @AFL @3AW693 Maybe just let the clock run when the ball goes out of bounds given there is the deliberate rule and avoid so many time on / time off situations....

@MarkAllenGolf This might be contentious to the purists…. what about the use of range finders to help calculate distance to the flag. Keep the yardage book for the green and surrounds. Surely that would quicken things up a little.

@TalkBirdie_ToMe The collective is the “Flock” of (talk) birdies (to me)? It’s also a flock of “eagles” but it is a rookery of albatrosses…..

@TalkBirdie_ToMe @nickohern @MarkAllenGolf Love the Masterclasses. How about one on the 3-6 foot left to right putts (for right hander) that ALWAYS seem to break just below the hole and run 3 feet past. Even pro’s seem to suffer with this!

@acaseofthegolf1 @PGAofAustralia Quayle just completed his 4th round and has finished 3rd at -12. The winner finished at -14. What a great comeback from that first round. McCumber was second at -13

@TalkBirdie_ToMe @nickohern @MarkAllenGolf @KingstonHeathGC @CassiePorter02 @RamsayGolf Great list of 59’s - but what about Rhein Gibson shooting 55? Isn’t it a ratified Guinness Book Record?
