It’s the Christmas special and the final episode of the year – and it’s a big one.

Dan finally puts the much-talked-about £650 LAB putter into play… but does it actually help on bobbly winter greens, or is it just another expensive experiment? The lads break down winter putting, long lag putts, three-putt avoidance and whether stats even matter when the greens are awful.

Meanwhile, Rob delivers the update everyone’s been waiting for: MRI results are in. What does that mean for golf and whether the Journey to The Rock can continue into 2026?

There’s also plenty of:

• Winter golf reality checks
• Skins games, snakes, and saving money on post-round beers
• Training aids, alignment fixes, and honest self-assessment
• Why winter golf can make your putting stats look worse… even when you’re playing better

The journey continues – but not without a few setbacks.

This week the boys discuss dans finger injury, putter fitting and the current status of winter league and game day 2.
