And we find out some other, surprising, food items he has never (and says he will never) eat. Mark tells a very funny story about playing in a tournament , about to be called to the first tee, when his mother turned up with something he had forgotten to bring...hilarious, but also quite sweet. But enough food chat. Onto golf. Feedback from a wolfpacker who saw Steve Bowditch play live and said, until he did, he wasn't aware of how much of a flusher he was. Ken saw Bubba play at Coolum with Nick and shared that memory. And Colin from New Zealand has a very important question about a hole in one...and whether it counts or not. Nick and Mark give their view. And we have a NSW wolfpacker who is a sparky and given Marks challenge in being able to find one locally to install his Switchstar, has offered to fly down and install it if Mark takes him for a round at Kingston Heath....mmm interesting idea. After the turn, we have a comment and a question from Phillip regarding the worst shot ever in a pressure situation, with Rory the one being nominated....Nick and Mark discuss, and Mark talks about the famous Jean Van Der Velde incident at Carnoustie saying he feels Jean was horribly unlucky and only hit one bad shot. Nick and Mark reveal what they believe to be the worst shot they each ever hit in a tournament....funny (for us not them). We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners: Hostplus, Talk Birdie To Me's official retirement partner BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole; Titleist, the #1 ball in golf; FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf; PING will help you…","meta_description":"A feedback pod today, and we start with a very blunt question from a wolfpacker about Marks eating habits - following the revelation a week or two ago tha…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1409,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/talk-birdie-to-me-6034803/episodes/nick-and-mark-each-detail-the-worst-shot-they-ever-hit-in-a-tournament-and-do-aces-always-count-or-not/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talk-birdie-to-me-6034803/nick-and-mark-each-detail-the-worst-shot-they-ever-hit-in-a-tournament-and-do-aces-always-count-or-not.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
