This week’s episode has a bit of everything, legacy milestones, comeback storylines, women’s tour momentum, and one of the most relatable listener emails we’ve received.

We kick off with a personal update, including the Ladies European Tour Awards, Paddy reflects on winter work starting to show up on the course (even if the scorecard didn’t agree) and why TrackMan short-course setups might be one of the best tools in junior golf.

Then it’s time for Scratch Social News, we dive into Eimear’s first-hand experience at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Community takes centre stage with a brilliant email from Gavin.

We introduce a new segment, Blind Rankings!

As always, thank you for the questions, emails and DMs. Keep them coming.

This week’s episode is packed with spicy golf news, strong opinions, and brilliant community contributions, the kind of episode that reminds you why golf is never just about golf.

After a quick catch-up, we jump straight into Scratch Social News with Spice Ratings, breaking down a messy LPGA season opener, a dominant PGA Tour performance, a breakthrough win on the DP World Tour, and a growing sense that golf tour’s rulebook is being applied… selectively.

We talk about how poor communication can hijack big moments, why legacy performances still matter and what happens when players stop believing the rules apply equally to everyone.

From there, the episode shifts into listener-led segments:

• Favourite golf books
• Golf “icks” we all secretly share
• A brilliant golf course under €50 recommendation
• Paddy’s Underrated Golf Course of the Week, a Dublin classic that deserves far more love
