NLU Podcast, Episode 577: The Ode to The Old Course

Time: 45:02
The Open has returned to The Old Course at St Andrews. To help get our Open week coverage started we spoke to a variety of voices in golf on what makes the home of golf so unique. From elite tour pros to mid-handicappers, writers, broadcasters and locals, we look at the course's qualities that have fascinated players for decades as well as the magic of the setting in the town of St. Andrews, the outlook for the upcoming Open and a ton more.

Just found this podcast, really brilliant. Well done for covering the LIV roadshow so honestly and a big hats off to Kevin for his thoughts at the end. I wish more people could hear what he said and understand what is at stake with this sport-washing business. Great to hear someone articulate what LIV will never be able to have - any form of meaning to ordinary people. That’s what top level sport is all about, it goes deep into the psyche and affects us in a profound way. They will never buy that.

First to have a go at golf coverage for being too ad heavy but the podcast has 4 minutes of ads before it even starts…not to mention all the ads during it.
First to poke fun at the lack of diversity on the tour. Have a little google of these men and they’re experience. Almost clones.
At what point do you become part the problem you try so hard to performartively scrutinise?

Great Podcast

Used to love this show. Always doing recaps and talking F1. Was better when everyone was together but seems like only a couple of guys do the pod on a Sunday now and it is really noticeable in the quality. There wasn’t a single tweet about last weeks event. Would love for this to go back to how it was a year ago. A truly great pod and good bunch of guys. Even TC

Great stuff.

Great content. Don’t agree with all perspectives given but then that’s the nature of these things. All opinions are thought through and have reasons, and there is always a fun side to the pod and YouTube channel. Love the F1 section 👍

Just brilliant

Love the pod, great balance of guys who love and get the traditions of golf as well as being forward thinking and not afraid to challenge status quo. As a “Brit” I used to struggle with some of the bro stuff but now rate the vibes.

NLU is genuinely the premier fan made golf media outlet out there at the moment. From the pro shop, the Strapped boys and Tourist sauce to the longer format podcasts, every thing they do has one thing at the forefront, the fans! They make content people watch and rewatch. Keep on smashing it in 2021 boys.

Fantastic content with great passion

I love this podcast, but it is really brought down by DJ Pie who literally cannot stop talking. Listen to the recent Tiger majors podcasts: When anybody says anything he always HAS to respond each time, usually adding nothing to the discussion. Contrast this with the other guys who respectfully listen and chime in when they actually have something to say. Moreover, most of his jokes/points are usually repeating Tron’s jokes from the last few weeks. I guess he does this to try to belong, but he really doesn’t. 5 stars without him.

The NLU boys have a gift for making you feel like you’re in the room with them. They’re funny, knowledgable and extremely easy to listen to. As someone with a Links Ticket and able to play the Old Course at will, they have somehow made me want to play some of the hidden gems of the US as a result of their Strapped show. The Trap Draw is also well worth a listen. Keep it up boys and if you’re ever in St Andrews again... ⛳️

Really enjoy listening to your interview with Brad Faxton.
Really interesting to hear what’s he’s thinking out on the course.
I work as a therapist and do a bit in golf including a cure for the yips and whenever I’m working with better players it’s all about intention.
Keep up the great work.

Great episode on Heathland golf in England - agree that it is the finest form of golf. As you suggest a Tourist Sauce trip would be a great idea and look me up if you head back as I’m a member at West Hill GC and we’d love to have you visit. Keep the content flowing.

The chaps at NLU always seem to get it right with the perspective they have on golf. Fantastic range of guests and a back catalogue of available episodes that are all really worth a listen- particularly the ones with guests you may never have heard of (which is a lot of them to us Brits). I have to admit some of the language is unfamiliar and sometimes I haven’t the faintest idea what they are talking about (why all the references to ‘hashtags’?) but that is to be expected-I suspect the over 50s are not the target audience. Don’t be put off even if you don’t know a hashtag from an ‘Instagram’- this a great podcast for all golf nuts. Love it.
