Two men and another Solheim success

Tuesday, September 15, 2026 • Duration 01:15:11

What a fantastic weekend of golfing drama, with both the Solheim Cup and the Irish Open to enjoy. Kudos to team Europe for winning back the Solheim Cup from team USA and doing it the hard way by winning the singles. Shane Lowry blew away the opposition at Doonbeg to record his second Irish Open Victory and improve an otherwise disappointing season. LIV Golf entered the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process and that enabled some actual insight to the dumpster fire that was their "business model". We look at all this plus more on this week's episode.

Two men and the LIV story (with Alan Shipnuck)

Monday, August 10, 2026 • Duration 01:01:21

Although the ITFOG team signed off for the summer, the world of golf continues to watch LIV Golf's efforts to raise funding to survive past this season. We will be back with a podcast on their progress in the near future but until then we thought that listening to the story of LIV's origins and the reasons behind it's creation would be of interest to our newer listeners. Therefore, we have edited our chat with renowned journalist and NY Times bestselling author, Alan Shipnuck, as a summer filler as we attempt to relax and play some golf.

Two men and a summer sign off

Tuesday, July 28, 2026 • Duration 01:15:02

The majors are in the bag, the FedEx playoffs are a few weeks away and so the team at ITFOG are signing off until early September to allow for some rest & relaxation. However, before we disappeared we convened at the studio to review the 2026 major season, talk about what we are looking forward to in the months ahead and debate the future of LIV Golf as it appears to be wilting before our eyes.

A huge thankyou to listeners who have stuck with us through 6 seasons of ITFOG, we appreciate your loyalty and perseverance! Interact with the podcast via X @ITFOG_podcast, Instagram @ITFOG or BlueSky @ITFOG-podcast. Enjoy your summer.

Two men and a Fox in the Birkdale henhouse

Tuesday, July 21, 2026 • Duration 01:21:20

Today's episode makes no excuses for focusing entirely on a pretty eventful week at the 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. The event delivered triumphs and heartaches, arguments and controversies, rulings and reliefs plus a host of associated storylines. In the heat of battle one man took it upon himself to go win it while others faded over the closing stretch. Is Ryan Fox the most relatable winner in recent times? Was Bryson unfairly penalised? Did Scottie get one of the "luckiest" rulings of all time? Was this year's open a classic? We debate all of these questions and many more.

Our listener's will have their own opinions, share them with the podcast via our portals on X @ITFOG_podcast, Instagram @ITFOG or BlueSky @ITFOG-podcast

As we head into Open Championship week Martin, Des & Chris sit down in a boiling hot studio to reflect on a great weekend for Korean golf with wins in both the men's and ladies game. Will success at the Genesis Scottish Open propel Tom Kim to feature at Birkdale, will Haeron Ryu top Nelly Korda for player of the year and, most importantly, which ITFOG panellist will win the coveted Predictions Game honours? Find out some interesting facts about the Open's history at Royal Birkdale plus the reasons our panel select their choices for the final major of the 2026 season.

Two men and a Viking victory

Wednesday, July 1, 2026 • Duration 01:14:59

Plenty to talk about in professional golf as we head towards the last major of the 2026 season. Martin, Des and Ron convene @ ITFOG HQ to discuss Viktor edging out Scottie, Wyndham not being a popular winner at the US Open, the speed of play at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship and the race for places to play in 2027 as LIV Golf looks increasingly vulnerable. Plus we analyse the rsults from our US Open predictions game, maybe that is why our resident PGA Coaching Professional was 'unavailable' for this episode.

Two men and a dubious reputation (Shinnecock Hills preview)

Tuesday, June 16, 2026 • Duration 01:13:48

At previous US Opens Shinnecock Hills grabbed the headlines as playing conditions got away from the USGA and the world's finest players were somewhat humbled. Will 2026 be any different or more of the same?

Martin, Des, Ron and Chris debate the course and try to predict outcomes (always a fun pre major pastime, with only occasional success) as well as catching up with other stories from around the wider world of golf.
