Send a text January’s Yearly Championship round is done — and it was ruthless. For the first time ever, ties are settled with The Die of Truth, and the virtual playoff delivers nerves, chaos, and the usual champagne podcasting! Then things get weird...

Send a text The Missing Links Golf Show is back for the 2nd episode of 2026, and it doesn’t take long for controversy to strike. Listener feedback questions the Yearly Championship countback rules, sparking a debate that leads to a bold (and slightly ridiculous) proposal: a virtual playoff decided by the Dice of Truth.

Send a text We’re back for 2026—and somehow we start with the Ashes before finding our way back to golf. The episode opens with a blunt wrap-up of Australia’s 4–1 Ashes win, unpacking why Bazball was exposed in Australian conditions, why patience still wins Test cricket, and which players stood up when it mattered. There’s praise for those who adapted, criticism for those who didn’t, and strong opinions on leadership, accountability, and one-gear game plans. From there, it’s back to golf as w...
Send a text In this episode, we turn the spotlight inward. We unpack recent guest feedback that challenged Steve’s mindset — specifically the belief that he may not yet see himself succeeding beyond a high single-figure handicap. While confronting, there’s truth in it, and it opens the door to a deeper conversation about self-belief, ceilings we subconsciously set, and why mindset will be a key development focus moving into 2026. Andy then reflects on a recent round where ongoing swing change...

Send a text In this episode of The Missing Links Golf Show, Steve and Andy break down two very different competition experiences—each packed with lessons that every golfer can relate to. Steve kicks things off with his experience at The Bathurst Open, a weekend that didn’t go quite to plan on the scoreboard, but revealed plenty of positives. Despite a tough stretch, he stayed competitive, fought through the swings that weren’t quite cooperating, and found real momentum with a significantly im...
