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.

🎙️ Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and now X

Enjoy the episode, and if you like what you hear, don’t forget to follow, rate and share the podcast!

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.

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? 👀

It’s an episode of two halves after a slight technical nightmare meant we lost most of the first recording… yeah, not ideal 😬 but we bounced back and it might’ve made things even better.
