Ready or not, Six, Over Par is back as we stride boldly into season four.  As the festive period draws to a close, Gav, Arron, Jon and MTC are talking new year goals, science, darts, badminton, board competitions and the speed of pheasants.There is also the small matter of updating the competitors of the rules changes made ahead of the upcoming season, as we once again set forth to find the next Order of Merit Champion.Ways to follow Six, Over Par - Tweet us @sixoverpar - IG @six_over_parThanks for listening, see you on the first tee !

6OP returns to natter about the upcoming Order of Merit Finals Weekend at The Warwickshire. There’s also a full rundown of the regular season final standings, along with September’s winners and a round up of what it all meant for our internal draft. Did anyone catch long-time leader Jon and was Gav able to hoist himself off the bottom and avoid the dreaded forfeit (TBD)?We also chat about the recent Roost Club Championships at Sweetens Cove, where Jon was part of RACDG Europe’s four man team who hoped to bring it home. Was Europe on fire? Was the USA terrified? Did anyone get shot?

The Six Over Par crew are back together to cast an eye over the month of August, and Preview the Month of September, which had definitely not started before our recording. We look back on the Freddie Mercury Cup, the Dehydration Classic at Hankley Common and complete the final draft of the season.Ways to follow Six, Over Par - Tweet us @sixoverpar - IG @six_over_parThanks for listening, see you on the first tee !

With Gav back from his holiday, there’s plenty to catch up on in this slightly delayed 6OP pod. Arron returned safely from the Far East in time to capture the third major of the RACDG year – the Cock of the North. We’ll recap both the COTN at Close House and July’s Calluna Cup, decided over 36 holes in tough conditties at Hollinwell. There’s also a look back to the first Roost Major, held at Sutton Coldandverywetfield, where a couple of Flockers incredibly managed to shoot under level net, despite having to putt through lakes on every green. We’ll also have the usual updates on the Order of Merit and internal 6OP draft, goals and challenges.Ways to follow Six, Over Par - Tweet us @sixoverpar - IG @six_over_parThanks for listening, see you on the first tee !

With Arron sweating his arse off building schools out in Vietnam, it’s just the three of us this month. We take a look back at a busy June, with Flock events at Enville, Littlestone and out in Belgium/Netherlands. The Order of Merit is at the halfway stage and it was a banner month for one of the 6OP boys.There’s also a preview of the upcoming Calluna Cup at Hollin(g)well and the first ever Roost Major at Sutton Coldfield, as well as the usual updates on goals and birdies, along with a wrinkle in the OoM draft, where Jon has risen to the top, despite half of his squad being poached. Ways to follow Six, Over Par - Tweet us @sixoverpar - IG @six_over_parThanks for listening, see you on the first tee !

May, The Pod, be with you. We take a look back at the month that was May, as MTC bemoans the loss of his game in a dark room, Gav reflects on a north creeping handicap and Arron recounts his time on Tour. Jon characteristically detonates all unworthy sports and we give you the update on the latest transfer window, where the revolving door at Casa Arshad rotates more than ever.Ways to follow Six, Over Par - Tweet us @sixoverpar - IG @six_over_parThanks for listening, see you on the first tee !

As the season proper ramps up, Gav, MTC, Arron and Jon get together to chat about their April golf, post-MacK.

The 2022 Order of Merit season is complete. Gav, Jon and MTC come together for one last time this year to chew over Finals Weekend at Belton Woods. Josh Humbler also joins the pod - his 40 points was more than enough to comfortably hold off the competition and secure the second annual OoM title. We also run through all of the weekend prize-winners and key talking points – the banana surplus, lingering fog, a missing dinner and a wooden spoon. See you in 2023!Ways to follow Six, Over Par - Tweet us @sixoverpar - IG @six_over_parThanks for listening, see you on the first tee !
