Golf Pod Cymru – Technology in Golf, US PGA Review & A Front Nine to Remember Join Rhys ap William, Eryl Williams and Matt Dearden for another entertaining and insightful episode of Golf Pod Cymru, the podcast all about golf in Wales. This week, the team starts with a catch-up on where they’ve all been playing and what’s been happening on their golfing journeys. They then review the latest action from the PGA Championship, discussing the standout performances and biggest talking points from one of golf’s most prestigious tournaments. There’s also a full update on Welsh golfers, both professional and amateur, highlighting how players from Wales are performing at home and abroad. Topic of the Pod: Technology in Golf The main discussion explores how technology is transforming every aspect of the game—from the machinery and software used by greenkeepers, to the launch monitors and tracking systems at modern driving ranges, to the clubs and balls we use on the course. One of the standout topics is the growing use of robotic mowers on golf courses. These autonomous machines are becoming increasingly popular for maintaining fairways, tees and rough. The team discusses how robot mowers can deliver a more consistent cut, while also freeing up greenkeeping staff to focus on more specialised course maintenance tasks. Special Guest: Julian Doughty The team is joined by Julian Doughty, Head Greenkeeper at Radyr Golf Club, who provides fascinating insights into modern course management, including how technology such as robotic mowers and advanced turf-monitoring systems are changing the way courses are maintained. Matt’s Challenge Matt shares the story of a remarkable front nine score that has to be heard to be believed. Ask Matt In this week’s listener Q&A, Matt answers all your questions about golf balls—how to choose the right one, what the key differences are, and whether premium balls really make a difference to your game.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
