This week on The Missing Links Golf Show, Steve and Andy are joined in person by fellow pilgrim and yearly championship leader Matt Woodbridge for one of the most honest and fascinating golf conversations the boys have had yet.

Matt shares his journey through junior golf in Dubbo, growing up alongside a crop of elite young players, learning the game through creativity rather than coaching, and battling through multiple life-threatening accidents that repeatedly dragged him away from sport — only for golf to pull him back in again.

The boys unpack:

• Why comparing yourself to other golfers can destroy confidence
• How elite junior golf can both motivate and intimidate
• The hidden value of mentors, mates and golf club culture
• Why the best golf often happens when you stop overthinking
• The mental crash that can happen during a championship round
• What middle-aged golfers can realistically do to stay competitive
• Why family support matters more than any swing tip

There’s also:

• April Yearly Championship results
• A controversial return of the Dice of Truth
• A ridiculous run of red-hot scores from the pilgrims
• The continued debate over Tiger vs Jack
• Stories of club championships, pressure golf and missed opportunities
• And a reminder that golf might be the cruelest — and most rewarding — game ever invented.

A thoughtful, funny and surprisingly deep episode about golf, resilience, identity and why we keep chasing the game long after common sense says we should stop.

This week on The Missing Links Golf Show, Steve and Andy dive deep into a fascinating PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club — a venue that has sparked debate about what major championship golf should actually look like.

Did the course expose the limits of “bomb and gouge” golf? Or did it finally reward strategy, precision and proper course management?

The boys unpack:

• Why Aronimink divided opinion among players and fans
• Whether modern majors rely too heavily on distance
• The growing questions around golf ball rollback
• Jon Rahm’s return to serious major contention
• Why Brooks Koepka suddenly looks dangerous again
• Cam Smith’s surprising resurgence
• Bryson DeChambeau’s current crossroads
• Scottie Scheffler’s rare putting struggles
• Justin Rose continuing to prove class is permanent

And of course, there’s plenty of discussion about unlikely major champion Aaron Rai — the two-gloved grinder whose humility, work ethic and precision golf won over just about everybody watching.

Steve and Andy also explore:

• Why Aaron Rai’s upbringing and training philosophy are so compelling
• The value of learning to score on shorter golf courses
• What strokes gained data really tells us about winning majors
• Why ball striking still rules elite golf

Plus, the Pilgrims get another original Missing Links rock anthem to close out the show:
“The Bomber & The Short Gamer.”

Because apparently the world now needs a golf rock album.

After the emotional fallout from Duntryleague, Steve and Andy hit reset.

This week on The Missing Links Golf Show, the boys unpack a huge question facing every time-poor golfer:

Are we spending too much time practicing golf swing… and not enough time actually playing golf?

Andy dives deep into the rabbit hole of technical swing changes inspired by Adam Scott, bowed wrists, shallowing moves and YouTube swing theories — before a brutally honest conversation with a former touring pro forces him to rethink everything.

Meanwhile, Steve explores the balance between technical practice and actually learning how to score, compete, manage pressure and play the game.

The episode covers:

• Why “playing golf” and “playing golf swing” are very different things
• The hidden dangers of endless technical practice
• How limited practice time changes the improvement equation
• Why scoring, decision-making and pressure matter more than perfect mechanics
• Practice games that actually translate to better golf
• The value of playing from forward tees
• Using practice rounds to improve mental game skills
• Why purpose matters every time you tee it up

It’s one of the most honest and practical conversations the boys have had about improvement, expectations and finding a sustainable path forward as mid-life golfers chasing better golf.

Plus, the international release of another classic golf song...
