If you’re looking for Australian golf podcasts about playing the game, start with The Swing Of It and Make Me Good At Golf. Both are part of BC Network. Both spend time with the familiar business of trying to get better, with different hosts and different ways into the conversation.
The Swing Of It brings Ron Chopper, Hamish Brayshaw and Joel Innes together around their own golf and the audience’s swings. Make Me Good At Golf follows Pete Helliar, Lehmo and Damien Fleming’s attempts to improve, alongside conversations with guests.
Here’s how to choose an episode to start with.
The Swing Of It: bring your swing and your sense of humour
The Swing Of It is built around Ron, Hamish and Joel figuring out how to be good at golf. Recent episodes include golf etiquette, superstitions and the ongoing scrutiny of each other’s games.
The audience gets involved too. A recent short sees Ron Chopper guessing golfers’ handicaps, and the show invites listeners to send in their swings. If you enjoy the conversation that follows a round, including a few opinions on how everyone else played, this is a useful place to start.
The handicap-guessing clip released on 12 September 2026 gives you a short introduction to that format. Because the swing is part of the discussion, this is a good one to watch on YouTube.
For a full episode, the 10 September 2026 edition includes audience swings and golf superstitions. Start with the clip if you want a taste of the show, or go straight to the longer conversation.
Make Me Good At Golf: follow the attempt to improve
Make Me Good At Golf puts comedians Pete Helliar and Lehmo alongside former Australian cricketer Damien Fleming. The premise is simple: they want to get better at golf, and they talk through the rounds, frustrations and discoveries along the way.
The episode released on 8 September 2026 is a useful introduction. Its published notes flag Pete’s handicap progress and Fleming’s encounter with a quarry hole at Joondalup. That gives a new listener a way into the show through a recognisable club-golf question: how did the round go, and is the game improving?
You can watch the handicap-progress episode without working through the whole archive first. If you’re drawn to guest conversations, try the episode featuring tour professional Josh Armstrong, released on 15 September 2026.
The Josh Armstrong episode is another starting point. Choose it for the guest; choose the handicap episode if you want to meet the show through the hosts’ own golf.
