Welcome back to the Rickshaws Golf Show Podcast everybody! I'm your host Rick Shields! I'm here with co-host Guy! This is episode 119 and you've guessed it, it's a Friday special! It's 120. It's 120. And it's a Friday special that's the thing! Again, we did it last week! We'll say it again! You don't know anything! You get with us now! Sometimes a Tuesday then we throw in a Friday! Gotta be on your toes! It's unpredictable! Um, today we've got a guest on um who we've already recorded the podcast! This is we're doing this intro after we had on the podcast Martin Borgmeyer! Now if you don't know the name yet you soon will know the name because he is one of the longest drivers of the golf ball on the entire planet! Well it literally goes kale bars! Yeah or berkshires! Have you pronounced it Guy? Char Nick Martin Borgmayer that's how good he is! He's top three! He is literally top three! So Martin um flew over from Germany! So at the start of this video we've just literally picked him up from the podcast from the health from the podcast we just picked him up from the airport! Yes um and then we just go into loads of detail about how far he hits it why he got into long drive the sport of long drive itself because it's something I'd never realized before but it's intense! Well that's why this is such a good podcast because obviously firstly he can talk he's very charismatic! Guys German but his English is absolutely phenomenal! We went out for lunch with him after the airport before we then came and did this and you're chatting to him and it's just like everything you say he's he you know he's all kind of lingo he's he's he forgets German and then he did a voice note to somebody didn't they I was like oh yeah you're German you speak in German that's man you can speak German he speaks better English than we do and yeah he said his story! The the whole world of long drive is something that I think a lot of golfers kind of know roughly it exists but to hear actually the stories about how you know people make a living from it how they want to improve how the actual tour as such could improve it's very interesting very insightful! So you might be getting ready for this podcast thing I'm not I don't really care too much about long drive I honestly think the insight that Martin gives us might just give you that kind of encouragement to maybe watch the next tournament or watch what's coming up next or the world championship towards the end of the year because it is fascinating and also what Martin does as well towards the end of the podcast it gives you some top tips about how you watching and listening can hit the golf ball 12 yards further! Well this guy knows his onions and so much so and he'll say this a lot more in depth in the podcast he's big mates of Bryson like genuinely very good friends of Bryson DeChambeau who Bryson reached out to him to get some tips and hitting the ball further and we all know that's worked for Bryson so this guy knows his stuff it works for Bryson it can work for you! So sit back relax enjoy this fantastic Friday special episode with one of the longest drivers in the world Martin Borgmeyer! Yes it's a good one!
