Yolk with Doak 44: Links Travel, Analytics in Golf, and Short Par 4s | The Fried Egg Golf Podcast

Andy Johnson sits down with Tom Doak for the first of two October Yolk with Doak episodes. To start, Tom shares travel tips for golfers headed to Australia, New Zealand, and links courses throughout Ireland and the U.K. Andy and Tom then talk through Tom's first round at Sedge Valley and his experiences playing his own design for the first time. They then discuss the strategy around designing and playing short par fours, debating on whether longer hitters should resist temptations to reach the green in one. This leads into a conversation about the prevalence of analytics in golf, as younger golfers now have access to more data and information about their own games and swings than prior generations. This episode wraps with Tom talking through the pros and cons of working on private or resort courses and more accessible public courses, and how the feedback he'll receive is different based on how often golfers play a course.

TD: "You don't complain about conditions when you play match play." AJ: "Yeah, completely true." That comment and the instant agreement make zero sense. Please explain... Poor conditioning doesn't affect stroke play?
