A Friday Feedback pod today, with plenty on the agenda to run through, including announcing the first person in the draw (there will be 8 ultimately in the draw) to win a trip for two to play The Cliffs at Kangaroo Island with Mark Allen and course designer Darius Oliver! But first, to your comments and questions:

01:00We had a lot of comments about Montys comments on slow play, and plenty of people sent the link to us. And many were interested that Mark and Monty might be in agreement on something. Nick and Mark delve into one of their favourite topics about things that should be banned, or enforced, in professional golf that would assist with dealing with slow play.

03:00Mark and Nick discuss how a fast player like Ryan Fox would feel about being partnered with a slow player like Keegan Bradley.
