Spring swings and random Rory wins The Players (and steals an iPhone in the process!)

by Podcast Team

With KC away in Osaka, the boys kick off the show with some classic Irish jokes before diving into why our Golf Partner service is a game-changer for solo travelers. As cherry blossoms bloom and the weather warms up, they take a few swings at Rory for his latest mishap at The Players. Plus, Joe shares his thoughts on the Monday playoff. And in big news for golf in Japan, LIV Golf confirms its players will tee it up at the Asian Tour event at Caledonian from May 8-11. And the guys put the spotlight on Kumamoto prefecture Golf.
