*COMPETITION PODCAST*In this episode of the Lost Fore Words podcast, Tom caught up with CEO and Co-Founder of Arccos Golf - Sal Sayed. Sal talks about Arccos’ latest Strokes Gained update, which enables users to access strokes-gained statistics at a level even deeper than that available to players on the PGA Tour. This data will provide golfers with the data they need to reduce their handicaps, and break it down into the top-3 insights after each round to improve. If you’re a 20-handicapper, looking to get down to a 15 for example, Arccos will give you the specific areas you need to improve. You may well be surprised by the areas of your game that you need to improve, but also where you may be playing better than your target handicap. As a high-handicap player, Tom found the data Arccos gave him extremely helpful in his quest to lower his handicap and discusses these on the show. *To have a chance to win your own set of Arccos Smart Caddie Sensors (worth £169.99) see our latest tweet on @LostForePod for details.*

This week Tom is joined by Ben Coley of Sporting Life who deputises for Jason. Ben and Tom break down the star-studded fields at both the UK Championship and the BMW Championship. It is crunch time on the PGA Tour in particular as 70 players will be whittled down to 30 ahead of next week’s Tour Championship at East Lake. Can Dustin Johnson keep up the impressive form he showed last week and put himself in prime position to win the $15m prize in Atlanta.

On the other side of the pond the PGA Tour heads into the business-end of the season as the best in the game duke it out for a chance of winning $10m.

In today’s podcast Tom caught up with Kyle Thompson as they took a trip down memory lane, looking at the highs and lows of Kyle’s golf career. Kyle sits just two behind the all-time wins record on the Korn Ferry Tour with 5 and that tally could have easily doubled as we will hear in the podcast. Kyle also talks about life after golf, working in insurance at global firm, Gallagher and why he’s not itching to get back on Tour any time soon. It was great to hear in such depth about an incredible career.

In this episode of the Lost Fore Words Podcast, Tom was joined by The Action Network’s Senior Golf Writer, Jason Sobel. We talk about Jason’s career covering the PGA Tour for ESPN and The Golf Channel, before making his move to The Action Network in 2018. As well as discussing some of Jason’s memorable moments as a reporter, we really get into Golf Betting as a whole, why he is loving his new role, and how he feels about the PGA Tour accepting betting as a product, after years of it being a taboo subject.

With Jason unavailable this week, Tom was joined by Ben Coley from Sporting Life. Ben and Tom discuss the return of the European Tour to the UK at Close House in Newcastle, as well as the PGA Tour returning to Minnesota for the second staging of the 3M Open. Did we learn anything about Close House after the 2017 renewal of this event, and how will most of the field react, playing for the first time in months? Across the Atlantic, the players will be relieved after a tough week at The Memorial, to play a much easier course and be totting up the birdies as opposed to the bogeys over the four days.

This week the Challenge Tour stays in Austria for the Euram Bank Open, and the PGA Tour run it back at Muirfield Village for The Memorial. Jason and Tom break down the best bets for both, including a deep-dive theory from Jason in Austria. With such a stellar field assembled at The Memorial, we should see another great finish there, as we did at last week's Workday Charity Open.
