Should par-3s be capped at 200 yards?
You know how people say it’s the littlest things that cause the biggest arguments? That’s s certainly the case on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
Michael, James and Lewis discuss long par-3s and whether or not they’re (a) any good and (b) should be capped at a particular yardage.
Things get... feisty!
Elsewhere, the guys discuss Scottie Scheffler and his major ceiling. How many majors will he finish his career with.
All that, plus James tells us about the time he – and we quote - “almost killed Paula Creamer”. Or did he?

Is it time to scrap sponsors invites?
The murky world of sponsors invites is back in the spotlight following the decision to grant Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker places in this week’s Memorial Tournament.
Should there be tighter restrictions on who sponsors are allowed to give exemptions to? Should they even be given that luxury at all? Michael, James and Lewis discuss that on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
Elsewhere, Steve Rider joins us to discuss the halcyon days of BBC Sport as well as his own, relatively recent prostate cancer diagnosis. He wants all men to get themselves checked and so do we.
Plus, why are we talking about ordained monks?!

The truth about the Rory McIlroy driver debacle
Everybody’s talking about Rory McIlroy’s driver. Trouble is, not many of them are talking any sense. So, allow us to help.
On this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast, Michael, James and Lewis reflect on the biggest talking point from the PGA Championship, with James providing greater insight into the testing process. He should know – as a World Long Drive professional, his driver gets tested a LOT!
Elsewhere, the guys discuss Scottie Scheffler’s victory, the LIV effect on its top players, Dustin Johnson’s major struggles, and the farce of the 20 club professionals’ involvement in the second men’s major of the year.
All this, plus Podder of Merit, Bare Lies, Asked & Answered, and much more besides.
