    Former Lion Anthony Watson on post-retirement life! Plus, what can rugby learn from golf?
    2025/08/12
    Just hours after flying back from this year’s Lions Tour in Australia, former England international and Lion himself Anthony Watson joins Di Stewart for a chat on Why Golf!

    They discuss success for Andy Farrell’s side Down Under, and Anthony gives an insight into what it was like not being involved in this year’s tour.

    After thinking he’d never take up golf, Anthony also describes how he’s now become ‘addicted’ to the sport, that it’s taught him patience on a whole new level, and analyses why so many athletes from other sports take up golf in retirement.

    Plus, what can rugby learn from golf to ensure the sport’s success in future years?

    Rick Shiels on becoming the world’s biggest golf YouTuber & joining LIV Golf as a global ambassador!
    2025/07/22
    This week, we’ve flown to Southern Spain and Real Club Valderrama to meet the biggest golf YouTuber on the planet – Rick Shiels!
    He tells guest host Gabbie Partington how he first got into golf in Manchester, before his career trajectory changed dramatically when he set up a YouTube channel – initially to encourage golfers to book lessons with him!
    Rick also gives an honest assessment of his decision to become a LIV ambassador, despite initial reservations about the tour, and shares what it was like having backlash from his followers after the news was announced.
    Then we look ahead to the future – could shorter format competitions of only 12 holes a round become the norm? And what is being done to encourage golfers who have taken up the sport, but not reached an elite level, to continue?
    Rick’s become one of the most influential voices in the modern game – find out how in this episode!
