Ep. 108 Bazball, Bogeys & Broken Wrists: Kicking Off 2026
Jan 09, 2026

Send us 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 we officially close out the 2025 Yearly Champio...

Ep. 107 Are We Our Own Missing Link?
Dec 16, 2025

Send us 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 changes were difficult to trust under pressure. We explore why committing to change...

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 improved putting performance in Round 2.
