This week is a little different. I had this idea in my mind for a while and I hope you all enjoy my first attempt at a player profile biopic.

But would love your feedback on it, and ways it could improve. As well as anything I may have got wrong ! Thank you for your support and we are back next week with guests and exciting things to come !#Golf #GolfBiopic #TommyFleetwood #GolfPodcast
