Leigh’s back after an enforced week away and we’re back doing what we do best—talking plenty of golf (and plenty of nonsense).

This week we look back at Pádraig Harrington’s Senior U.S. Open victory and discuss why we’re convinced both he and Peter Finch are loyal Twin2Win listeners… until we’re told otherwise!

We bring back some of your favourite features too. We take a trip to Fairway to Heaven to review Halifax Golf Club, go head-to-head in a 9-hole edition of One Twin Wins, and chat about something every golfer has experienced—how your mood can have a huge impact on your game.

With Britain baking in its third heatwave of the year, we also discuss playing golf in the heat. We even turned to X to ask how everyone copes in these conditions… unfortunately, with our grand total of three followers, the silence was deafening!

As always, expect plenty of laughs, honest opinions and golfing chat.

This week I’m flying solo again as Leigh is away, but we’ve got two brilliant guests joining the podcast—Megan and Jordan from Fairway Competitions.

We chat about how Fairway Competitions started, the incredible golf prizes you can win, how their competitions work, and why they’re determined to build something different from the typical competition sites. For them, it’s all about creating a genuine golf community and showing the personalities behind the brand.

We also dive into some of golf’s biggest debates, including Augusta or St Andrews? and The Ryder Cup or The Open? Which side are you on?

As fellow content creators, we swap stories from those awkward early days of making videos, including one unforgettable hotel experience involving pizza, Family Guy… and some extremely noisy neighbours. Jordan’s description of the evening had us in stitches. 😂

To round things off, we look ahead to the upcoming UK Creator Cup, talk about the growth of golf content online, and discuss what’s next for Fairway Competitions.

If you enjoy golf, creator stories, plenty of laughs and hearing from people trying to do things differently, this one’s for you.

This week, Ben’s away, so Leigh takes the reins—and he’s joined by fellow Team South star for the upcoming UK Creator Cup and 2025 Lemonade Masters Champion, James Peters (@jamespgolf)!

We dive into everything UK Creator Cup, the North vs South rivalry, James’ journey into golf content creation, what’s currently in his bag, and how he became one of the UK’s favourite golf creators.

James also takes on the Quick 9, where his dream fourball throws up some brilliant (and controversial!) choices.

🎙️ This week on the Twin2Win Golf Podcast, we’re joined by everyone’s new favourite tee time, it’s golf creator, Rachel from @teetimewithrachel!

From growing the women’s game to the challenges female golfers face when it comes to equipment, apparel, and being taken seriously in golf, nothing is off limits.

⛳ Do male professional golfers do enough to support and grow women’s golf?

⛳ Is premium golf gear still harder to find for female golfers?

⛳ Does Rachel qualify as a full on golf bandit?

And then there’s the Quick 9…! Let’s just say Rachel may have delivered one of the strongest performances we’ve ever seen. Is there a new clubhouse leader? 👀

If you love golf, golf podcasts, golf debates, funny golf stories, and honest conversations about the game, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

This week we’re joined by Clint Dixon (@golfwithclint) — soon to be a qualified Master Club Fitter — for a deep dive into the world of club fitting and whether golfers are actually playing the right equipment.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a fitting is worth it, what red flags to avoid, or how much difference the right clubs can really make… this episode is for you.

We break it down into 3 golfer brackets so there’s something for everyone:

🏌️ New to Golf

Should beginners even get fitted? What matters most when buying your first set? Clint explains the biggest mistakes new golfers make and what actually matters when starting out.

⛳ The Intermediate Golfer

Playing regularly and looking to improve? We discuss when it’s time to upgrade, how to know if your clubs are holding you back, and the fitting changes that can genuinely help your game.

🤓 The Golf Gear Nerds

For those obsessed with shafts, spin rates, launch angles and every tiny detail… this one’s for you. Clint talks premium fittings, common misconceptions, and the details serious golfers should pay attention to.

We also cover:

✅ Club fitting red flags 🚩

✅ Questions you should ask before booking a fitting

✅ The biggest myths around custom fitting

✅ Whether expensive clubs really make a difference

✅ What a good fitter should (and shouldn’t) be doing

Whether you’re a complete beginner, chasing lower scores, or just love golf gear chat — this episode is packed with insights.

🎧 Listen now and make sure your clubs are helping your game… not hurting it.

This week on the Twin2Win Golf Podcast, we start with a chat around Mental Health Awareness Week

We ask a big question… is golf actually good for your mental health?

We share some honest thoughts and personal experiences around how the game can help, hurt, frustrate and sometimes completely save your mindset — both on and off the course.

Ben also delivers another Fairway to Heaven review, this time taking on Stevenage Golf Course, before we wrap things up with something a little more important than golf.

Check in on your mates. Send the message. Make the call. And if you’re struggling yourself, don’t be afraid to talk — people genuinely do care.

And honestly, if somebody listening feels like they’ve got nobody else to speak to, our DMs are always open too.

As always, expect average golf, proper chat, and a few laughs along the way.
