| SFS Christmas Special 2020 | 21 déc. 2020 | 00:46:13 | |
2020 has been odd. That's how we've taken to describe it now, because in some cases it hasn't all been bad! We catch up to talk about changes in our lives and we sum up the golfing calendar of 2020. We discuss the new World Handicap System (Spoiler Alert... Josh has gone UP!), the Autumn Masters and a few more probably uninteresting topics... anyway, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! | |||
| Ep20: Matthew Jones - Start from Scratch | 10 sept. 2020 | 01:18:35 | |
We're back after a week break! What a show we have too... I laughed all the way through the edit and a lot of that thanks to the dynamic partnership between our Bomber and Matthew Jones, an ex +2 handicap and former Junior Welsh International. We're proud to take our show down South to Pontypridd this week! During the introduction we touch on some World Changing recent activities where Josh is now a Long Drive winner!! | |||
| Ep19: Kristian Taylor - Start from Scratch | 28 août 2020 | 01:06:40 | |
We're joined this week by Kristian Taylor, a Professional playing out of Formby Golf Club. Picking up the game at 15 years old, he was somewhat of a natural and came down from 4 to +1 in one season!! So yes, plenty of tips for us hackers. During the intro we reflect on Josh's most recent claim that he felt he was ready to win (spoiler alert, he didn't!), and Trist comes to an Earth-shattering realisation that he is in fact s**t at golf! S.O.S Matthew Tottey! To end we have a brief re-cap of the Start from Scratch Championship and we interview the winner. | |||
| Ep18: Andrew Murray - Start from Scratch | 21 août 2020 | 00:57:14 | |
Very few people are able to naturally recall stories from almost 20 years on the European Tour like Andrew Murray can! We kept him from a family BBQ but it was hard to even feel bad about it as he gripped us with some of the tales of the Tour days. Now a Radio5Live Commentator and Corporate Golf Event expert he is just as busy! In the intro Josh calls out both his co-hosts Trist & Eddie (No idea what he'd been thinking...) and we briefly touch on Rory's comments earlier this week implying that he "isn't as good anymore" hmmm! To end we discuss whether or not we should be allowed to play in a 5-ball when nobody else is around. | |||
| Ep17: Matt Fryer - Start from Scratch | 14 août 2020 | 01:17:27 | |
With the return of Edward Beardsley we were at full strength once again! We're joined by Matt Fryer, one of the countries most popular YouTube coaches. As with all of our guests, we loved our time with him and Matt went the extra mile for us by joining us for our Weekly Discussion which is 'Which Major would you rather win?'. Josh blasts a host of questions at Matt about content sharing and his golfing exploits during the interview. We re-cap an eventful week for us as hosts during the Bull Bay Golf Club Open Week which saw Trist win a prestigious prize! | |||
| Ep16: Ryan Brooks - Start from Scratch | 07 août 2020 | 00:55:06 | |
This week is a little different to the usual routine as we reached out to Ryan Brooks, Man of the Moment right now! Ryan just shot 56 around his home course Whittington Heath, yes FIFTY SIX! He takes us through the round and you may notice a silence as we re-gather our sanity. We also wanted to provide the listeners with a different bonus feature so listen in and take part in our golf themed quiz... you've even got 3 seconds to answer!! | |||
| Ep15: Gary Boyd - Start from Scratch | 31 juil. 2020 | 01:00:16 | |
We're back with yet another Touring Professional! This time it is Gary Boyd and he gripped us with tales from playing in Open Championships and his first US Open at Pebble Beach of all places. He also very politely answers some of the most absurd questions from Josh, for which we apologise! During the intro we chat about taking our better halves along with us to the golf course ... yep, we went there! And our Weekly Discussion is a little different as we bore listeners with 'our' Dream Fourballs. They're seriously unimpressive. | |||
| Ep14: Dr Karl Morris (The Mind Factor) - Start from Scratch | 24 juil. 2020 | 01:16:19 | |
What do you get when you put one of the best golf psychologists in the game and Joshua Griffiths the self-proclaimed Mental Maestro together on a Zoom call? You get this, episode 14. We had the privilege of Dr Karl Morris's time to pick his brains and what an interview it was! You meet certain people in the world of golf that you wish you could spend more time with, and Karl is definitely one of them. During the intro we reflect on our first society outing... if you aren't aware of the results, please please listen! | |||
| Ep13: Bryan Roberts (Long Drive Special) - Start from Scratch | 17 juil. 2020 | 01:04:37 | |
We've wanted to host this special episode for a while as it is right down Josh's street... it's a Long Drive special! And who else but 'Quadzilla' himself Bry Roberts as our guest Bomber! In a content packed intro this week we cover Josh's first lesson with Matthew Tottey, preview our first official SFS Society outing to Carden Park and Josh's matchplay with another of our scratch golfer guests! Bry Roberts answers all of our bizarre questions about the World of Long Drive and we're pretty sure Josh's heart melts... | |||
| Ep12: Amy Boulden - Start from Scratch | 08 juil. 2020 | 01:02:30 | |
Blessed with yet another European Tour Player, we're on our best bevahiour! This time though with LET Star Amy Boulden. We are over the moon to have our first official female guest on Start from Scratch and hope Amy leads the way for more in future. The contrast in mind-frames between Amy Boulden and Josh was as evident as you'd expect... During the introduction we discuss a major change in Josh's life, and our Weekly Discussion returns with whether or not we really make the most of the different types of golf games out there?! Join in, let us know! | |||
| Ep11: Adrian Fryer - Start from Scratch | 03 juil. 2020 | 01:31:16 | |
We're somehow managing to get genuine top coaches and swing guru's to come and have a chat with us?! Not sure how, but it's happening. This week we are joined by SolidGolf Instructor and Today's Golfer Magazine coach Adrian Fryer, and his knowledge of all things golf shocks us to be honest. Adrian has so much experience, but I don't think he was quite prepared for meeting our own resident swing guru Joshua Griffiths. To introduce the show Josh talks us through his most recent round of golf... Wow. Wow. Wow. Speechless. | |||
| Ep10: Zach Gould (Dr Golf) - Start from Scratch | 26 juin 2020 | 01:17:45 | |
To celebrate our 10th episode we have a fantastic guest who quite literally left us all speechless. We welcome Zach Gould a.k.a Dr Golf on to the show to discuss his glittering amateur career as a young golfer, and his online training platform that will help all golfers get the most of their body and their golf potential. to introduce the show we are treated to recollection of the time Josh lost a match 9&8... Yes, 9&8. Our weekly discussion was based on GOLF.com's Tweet asking followers who they thought would win "on their day" between Tiger and Rory. | |||
| Ep9: Jamie Donaldson - Start from Scratch | 19 juin 2020 | 00:57:32 | |
We’ve more or less made it... or in our eyes we have. This week we’re joined by European Tour and Ryder Cup star Jamie Donaldson! A fantastic experience just to chat golf with a top pro and top guy. He talks to us about life in lockdown and what’s next for him as he plans his way around the next few Tour dates. In the intro we discuss our decisions to find golf coaches to help us improve! We’re obviously going to need even more help for us to get better, it’s becoming a joke! | |||
| Ep8: Dewi Caughter - Start from Scratch | 10 juin 2020 | 00:48:44 | |
This week saw us try us genuinely help people improve - we got Josh to give free golf advice! We share a small treasure that Eddie found in a golf analysis spreadsheet which we'll be using over the next year to compare and analyse parts of our golf against each other. Our scratch golfer this week is Dewi Caughter, a previous Welsh Amateur semi-finalist and County Golf stalwart over the years! We end with a discussion on Tony Jacklin's opinion that Sergio Garcia is the biggest underachiever in world golf... ouch! | |||
| Ep7: Marcus Mohr - Start from Scratch | 05 juin 2020 | 01:03:03 | |
How the three of us reached a 7th episode, we will never know! This week Trist & Eddie get to strike back at Josh by analysing his game, it doesn't make for pleasant listening. We interview Marcus Mohr, a Touring Professional of four years who has played two years on the Alps Tour and one year on the Challenge Tour. Despite only starting golf at 15 years old, he's overcome plenty of set-backs and has shown what pure mental strength can do! To close, we ask Josh where he sees similarities between himself and a Touring Pro... | |||
| Ep6: Lee Jones - Start from Scratch | 29 mai 2020 | 01:06:22 | |
This week we allowed Josh the opportunity to analyse Trist and Eddie's games in detail during the introduction and in typical fashion, he didn't hold back!! Apparently there's work to do. We interview Lee Jones, an Honorary Member and Green Keeper at Conwy Golf Club, who has informative about how we can improve but also open and honest about his decision not to turn professional off a +4 handicap. As usual, we find ourselves disagreeing to end the show - this time about Taylormade's Driving Relief Charity fourball match between Rory, DJ, Ricky and Wolff. | |||
| Ep5: Matthew Tottey - Start from Scratch | 15 mai 2020 | 00:53:33 | |
This week was a good week for Start from Scratch as we celebrated 600 downloads! We needed a good guest to mark this occasion so we drafted in Matthew Tottey, winner of over 100 PGA sanctioned events, a Challenge Tour regular and has two appearances on the European Tour under his belt. Tristian quizzes Eddie and Josh with a tailor-made 'how addicted to golf are you?' quiz which listeners can also score themselves on. To end we discuss our favourite players outside of the 'superstars' of the game today. | |||
| Ep4: JR Jones - Start from Scratch | 15 mai 2020 | 00:59:16 | |
We're lucky enough to have an hour of JR's time as he imparts his wisdom on us, but more specifically Josh! JR Jones has been a 5 x Welsh Champion, 12 x County Champion and represented his country 85 times. He is now an Elected Member of the R&A and Open Championship referee and shared some brilliant stories of his time walking the fairways with the best players in the game. Me and Eddie go through Josh's bag with him... fascinating! To end this week we ask Josh what he's learned so far, and it goes exactly as expected. | |||
| Ep3: David Glyn Parry - Start from Scratch | 07 mai 2020 | 01:00:48 | |
In episode 3 we attempt to reach out to our new followers in France and the US of America! We read a pretty damning review out for Josh who is determined to prove this reviewer wrong...watch this space! Josh wasn't done there either, he proceeds to tell us about a time he lied about his handicap and told a University Golf Team that he played off scratch. We're joined by a scratch golfer and friend of ours for some more great insight on what where we've been going wrong. We also discuss the price of playing golf these days and we welcome all opinions on this matter! | |||
| Ep2: Mathew Wharton - Start from Scratch | 01 mai 2020 | 00:57:38 | |
We made a second episode after some encouragement! In this episode we discuss Eddie's somewhat strained exchange with Marc Player (son of Gary Player) on Twitter and our 'home golf practice' as we're still in the lock-down. We also chat with Mathew Wharton, a teaching professional who provides us with some insightful tips as well as a brilliant story about the time he blagged his way into following Tiger around Hoylake! We end this week with a brief discussion about whether or not the Ryder Cup should be played without fans. | |||
| (PILOT) Ep1: Sion Thomas - Start from Scratch | 01 mai 2020 | 00:58:44 | |
In our first podcast we introduce ourselves, set out our audacious plans for the podcast, and overcome some slight audio issues in the first section as we find a way of podcasting during this "unprecedented" time! However we manage to overcome it and we are joined by a friend of ours Sion Thomas, whose achievements so far include winning the Club Championship, County Championship AND Regional Championship in the same year! Our weekly discussion sees us chime in on a fairly controversial Padraig Harrington quote and we beg any potential listeners to ... like us?! | |||
| PREVIEW: Start from Scratch Podcast | 30 avr. 2020 | 00:01:00 | |
Here's a preview for our new golf podcast 'Start from Scratch'. We hope this gives you a little insight into us not taking ourselves too seriously, but also enough insight to know that we are going to need help! Our aim is to interview "normal" golfers who have achieved scratch or professional status and who we find to be much more relatable than Tour Pros. These are the people who have had to balance jobs, families and other commitments but still manage to play great golf! There's also some funny anecdotes and entertaining disagreements between the three of us... let us know what you think! | |||
