I’m currently spending about 90 minutes a day in the car (sometimes moving), on my way to and from the office. I’m not a big fan of commercial radio, so have been using this travel time to indulge in a variety of podcasts.

I recently discovered some pretty good golf podcasts on the PGATOUR.com website, the best of which is ‘oPINionated with Chris DiMarco‘. This weekly podcast features Chris DiMarco talking candidly to broadcast journalist Greg Warmoth…..about golf mainly, but other topics as well.

I’ve found myself warming to DiMarco’s straight talking and willingness to share his views on a range of topics……mostly golf, but other stuff as well. It has also been interesting to listen to DiMarco talk about his attempt to regain some form on the PGA Tour. DiMarco spent 50 weeks in the world top 10 between 2002 and 2007, but has barely featured on the tour since then.

Anyway, if you’re looking for a good quality golf podcast I’d highly recommend oPINionated. Below is a summary of the other podcasts on offer from PGATOUR.com:
