Episode 49: Wayne 'Radar' Riley

Shane and Marty welcome PING Brand Ambassador, Wayne 'Radar' Riley to the pod. They dive into how he got started in the game and his 20+ year career on the European Tour, his transition to on-course commentating, and the story behind his 'Radar' nickname.

I worked 2 years at Cronulla Golf Club in the Pro Shop and had the privilege getting to know Wayne, Radar is always great to be around and he hasn't changed a bit!

Radar is a legend. Would be in my first choice of my four ball of any golfer (dead or alive). Wonderful individual.

Cool Cat that Radar. No fuss, no bull....!

Hearing them mention bags-I walk and carry and absolutely love my Ping Hoofer. It’s incredibly comfortable and light.

We're happy to hear that! And, thanks for tuning in to the episode as well!

Saw Radar several times at different tournaments in Melbourne in the 80's & 90's but mainly the Masters at Huntingdale. Ripper bloke. To me he is the best on course commentator in the world. Radar describes what will happen to the shot before it's played so many times it's just like the mash tv 'radar'. Add in his humour & he is exceptional. On the DP World tour & team up with aussie commentator Ali Whittaker & you have gold. Could listen to him for hours.

We're glad to hear you enjoyed the episode, Robert. Thanks for watching!
