Alright guys, welcome back to Rick Schill's Golf Show Podcast. Everybody, I'm your host, Rick Schill.

So I'm here with producer Guy or co-host, guys, I say. Thank you. Episode 98. Yes. Fast approach in episode 11.

It's getting scurriedly close and we actually went to the venue the day of the live podcast. It's going in a couple of weeks. Getting serious.

We're more confident on Mondervis after that. Mondervis. But, you're going to be sat there watching us talk nonsense for an hour and hour and two hours. Mondervis 100%.

Well, we've got two people on the podcast today who are not nervous in front of big crowds because many times they have played golf in front of big crowds.

And, well, confident about, I can say this. We've got more European tour table, more European tour wins on this table than we ever have before.

Collectively, the four of us. We've been the four of us. There's four European tour wins on each easy numbers. Easy numbers.

We've got Sam Horsfield. Thanks for coming on. Thank you for having me. And we've got Hayden Portius. Yes. Both European tour players.

Both kind of in Manchester today. We filmed a video with Sam and you kind of featured a little bit on the back now as well Hayden, which will come on to.

But we want to chat to young rads. Live in the dream out in the European tour. Is that the case? Is it live in the dream?

Sam? Yeah, it is live in the dream. We get to travel the world for 25 weeks of the year. Play the game that we'd love to play.

You know, it can test our patience at sometimes, but we've got to be pretty fortunate to be able to do what we get to be able to do.

And these last 18 months in the world, it's been pretty crazy. And for us to be able to continue to play golf during the majority of that is we've been pretty lucky.

It is amazing. It's funny here, Sam, because I want to just kind of set the scene for a lot of people listening.

You're from Manchester. Yes. Yes. The accent is James. I know. The accent in my mind. Right. You do. Can you do a monk? No, I cannot.

Can you do American Rick? Yes, you can. It's not bad. It's not bad. It's not a problem. I think it's because I've been spending the whole day with Sam here.

Yeah. Yeah. It's because of clubbing me. I go very still then when I go American. So Sam, you obviously even got your Wikipedia here in front of you. Not that need it open.

But you were born in Manchester. Yeah. I was born in Manchester style area.

I lived here until I was five and then moved over to the States then and grew up there to learn to play golf there.

I'm back here on the European tour. Nice. How long do you back in the UK for this kind of spell? So I've done. Let's see. We got next week done, held is next week and then I have like a month off. But I'm currently on week six and so six out of seven weeks for me.

Wow. Away from home. Away from home. Yeah. Six out of seven. That must be hard. Yeah. I think he's on a few more than me. Yeah. Yeah. As Sam said, it's been a pretty tough 18 months with COVID. Yeah. I haven't been home since mid March. So it's been pretty difficult. Obviously going back to South Africa.

It puts me at high risk of COVID or bringing back the South African strain. So I've decided it's probably best for me to stay in Europe and just sort of go through life, you know, go through the tour, you know, week by week.
