It's not the sexiest topic in golf but it is one that has far reaching impacts and Golf NSW's recent announcement about a programme of regional golf events supported by the state government over the next three years is a huge positive. Mark Hayes joins the pod to break down the announcement plus the broader impact of golf on regional Australia and, conversely, the impact of regional Australia on golf. There's also a bit about Patrick Reed.
