This week on Need a 4th, Alan Shipnuck and Michael Bamberger are along for the ride as Geoff Ogilvy welcomes an old mate and a fellow Aussie, the golfing polymath Michael Clayton! Michael can do it all. He played for years on the Australian and European tours, he writes about the game with spectacular clarity, his course-design work will stand the test of time, and as you are about to find out, he talks about the game like a Down Under version of Ben Crenshaw, with some Peter Thomson mixed in.
Elsewhere at FPC this week, we celebrate golf in the great cultural, financial and sporting capital of Melbourne and we revisit the December fun of the Sandbelt Invitational, the tournament co-founded by Clayton and Ogilvy. There are few people in the world (if any) who know more about golf in the sand, and golf in Melbourne, than Clayton and Ogilvy. Give a listen and hear for yourself. G’day!

Love hearing stories about golf legends like Seve. Michael Clayton was great. Keep it going guys. Love the fire pit. Looking forward to going to Augusta National on hump day this year.
Clayts is a living Aussie treasure (and he'll be the first to tell you that's rubbish), be amazing to have a round with him
Nobody knows more about golf than Mike Clayton. Combine hjm with Geoff Ogilvy and you have a sure fire winner.
More stories of Seve!!
Yet another wonder 80 minutes of golf conversation from the FPC. I'm thinking that you guys need to bring Mr. Clayton back — sounds like there's a lot more we'd like to hear from him…
GReat show lads!! Love it. Love these chats….and i love that LinkSoul gear.. Great to hear the old stories.
Awesome to hear the stories from the man whose first design is my home course.
Class episode.
THe best Golf Podcast out there. Love every episode.
Just fabulous. Michael needs to be a return guest to hear another 1/1000th of what he’s experience in this great game!
