Golf Pod Cymru reaches the 13th Hole with a very special episode looking back at one of the biggest sporting events ever to take place in Wales – the 2010 Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor.

But first, we bring you our regular round-up of the latest news, results and performances from Welsh golfers at home and around the world.

Sixteen years on, we head back to the autumn of 2010 and the unforgettable Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor.

It was a Ryder Cup like no other – torrential rain, dramatic comebacks, huge crowds and a Monday finish that created an incredible atmosphere across South Wales.

We take a trip down memory lane and ask the question: Where were you when the Ryder Cup came to Wales?

Rhys, Eryl and Matt share their own memories and experiences of the event, from where they were during that incredible week to what it was like to witness the world's best golfers competing on Welsh soil.

The Impact on Wales

The Ryder Cup was about much more than golf. We look at the impact the event had on Wales, from the global exposure and tourism boost to the legacy it left for Welsh golf and the wider sporting landscape.

Did the 2010 Ryder Cup deliver the lasting legacy Wales hoped for? And what can Welsh golf learn from the experience today?

Special Guest – Jim McKenzie

We're joined by Jim McKenzie to hear his perspective on the 2010 Ryder Cup and the events surrounding Celtic Manor.

Jim shares his memories of that incredible week and gives us another fascinating insight into one of the most memorable sporting occasions in Welsh history.

Matt's Challenge – The Winter Match Challenge

Matt's Challenge is back – but with a twist!

With the main tournament season over, Matt has a new winter challenge: we're inviting professional golfers to take him on in a match.

Can Matt hold his own against the pros? Will anyone take up the challenge? And just how competitive will he get?

The winter match challenge begins here – and we're looking for professionals who are brave enough to step up to the tee!

Join Rhys ap William, Eryl Williams and Matt Dearden for another episode of Golf Pod Cymru as we take a closer look at the organisation behind Welsh amateur golf and ask some big questions about the future of the game in Wales.

Welsh Golf Round-Up

We catch up on the latest results from Welsh players competing around the world, as well as bringing you an update on the DP World Tour Q School and the players hoping to take the next step in their professional careers.

Special Guest – Hannah McAllister, CEO of Wales Golf

We are joined by Hannah McAllister, CEO of Wales Golf, for an in-depth conversation about her journey to the top of the organisation and the role Wales Golf plays within the amateur game in Wales.

Hannah gives us an insight into the challenges and opportunities facing Welsh golf, including the ongoing work to encourage more women and girls to take up the game and ensure they have the opportunity to progress and enjoy golf at every level.

We also discuss the wider role of Wales Golf and its ambitions for the future of the game.

Gareth Jenkins – Performance & Pathway

Our second guest is Gareth Jenkins, Wales Golf Director of Performance and Pathway.

Gareth talks us through the current Welsh performance pathway and how young players are identified, developed and supported as they look to reach the highest levels of the game.

We also explore one of the biggest challenges facing Wales as a smaller golfing nation – how do you provide players with the same opportunities and resources as larger golfing countries?

With Wales producing elite players in the past, including Major champions, what can be done to give the next generation the best possible chance of becoming the next Welsh golfing hero?

Reaction – What Should Golfers Pay?

We discuss the number of affiliated golfers in Wales and the fees they currently pay, leading to a bigger question: would golfers be willing to pay more to help develop the next generation of Welsh talent?

Could a small increase in the cost of affiliation make a meaningful difference to performance programmes and player development? And, ultimately, would we be prepared to invest more today in the hope of producing the next Ian Woosnam tomorrow?

It's a debate that could have a big impact on the future of Welsh golf.

Matt's Challenge

After suffering a back injury, Matt's challenge takes an unexpected turn. We catch up with him to find out how his recovery is progressing, how much golf he's been able to play and whether he's getting any closer to returning to his best.

Can Matt get himself back on the course – and will the injury affect his plans for the rest of the season?
