The Niggle Podcast – Episode 12: The one with the sportsman’s brunch
Welcome to The Niggle Podcast.
Is it a porkpie hat or not?
This week’s episode features regular host Tom Irwin @tomirwingolf, Editor Dan Murphy @danmurphygolf and Deputy Editor Mark Townsend @marktownsendncg.
Yet again, there is no sign of Steve Carroll and James Savage (was it something we said?)
I’m not sure what a beanie is, actually
The trio begin by talking on-course head wear (after a brief discussion about the popular sitcom ‘Friends’) a conversation which will completely annihilate your preconceptions. Pork pie, beanie, trilby.
Think you know hats? Think again.
The conversation naturally segues into the subject of the halfway house. There is a veritable smorgasbord of opinion around this beloved golf institution.
Is using one of those on-course phones to make your order the way to go? Should the halfway house serve alcohol? And is eating a sportsman’s brunch (?) while you’re playing golf a weird thing to do? (it’s not a Little Chef!) At last, we provide a definitive answer.
Finally, we move on to our world famous quiz. You’ll have to listen in for the details but, as regular listeners will have already guessed, it’s a blinder.
Certain elements within the team have described the quiz as a ‘shamble’s. Suffice to say, that is clearly a simple case of sour grapes.
So get comfortable and settle in for some classic chatter.
