    old man, old country club mentality thinking that slow golf is a result of poor play – 99% of slow play is due to lack of common sense – standing around waiting for the other player to hit, not helping each other with yardages, the worst is marking the ball on the green when the other players are on the opposite side of the green, not understanding what ready golf actually means. if you want to keep the game healthy – use your influence make a vid on how to play ready golf that isn't rushed, play faster, smarter and make everyone else on the course happier. golf will DIE with these 4 .5 – 5 hr rds, stop the sickne

    Great interview

  3. oooh, nice new intro there Mark!

  4. I like David, but selling this? It’s just place a ball behind the ball your hitting and just push it away with the club on the backswing, simple,

    First of all nice polo Mark … looking sharp 😊. As a Canadian I’m lucky to be having access to some excellent coaching at Leadbetter academy in Jakarta Indonesia… and take away is such a hugely important and often neglected aspect of a golf swing. Many thanks for this podcast.
