Ben Taylor, Speedgolf, & Nullarbor Links
"The journey of a thousands miles begins with one step." - Lao Tzu
The longest course is in the world is in Australia. It's called Nullarbor Links and it traverses over 1,000 miles from the 1st tee to the 18th green. The idea for the course came from Alf Caputo and Bob Bongiorno over a bottle of red wine in a small roadhouse off the famed Eyre Highway.
Since its official opening in 2009, few people have played the entire course at once. Nobody has ever thought to Speedgolf Nullarbor Links...until now.
Ben Taylor, our very own POC host, will soon become the first person to attempt the 1,365km Speedgolf journey across the Nullarbor Plain. Why? BT explains it all in this episode of the POC.
Show your support for BT! All funds raised will go directly to the Movember movement, a charitable foundation addressing some of the biggest health issues faced by men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention. You can give directly at https://au.movember.com

After returning from the 2015 Speedgolf World Championships, Scott Dawley and Dude Spellings decided it was time to start a podcast. The sport was in the beginning stages of major transformation, and we set out to document this revolutionary change in real time!
In the beginning, we engaged with forward thinking guests from around the world of golf about where they saw the game headed in the 21st Century. There are some amazing conversations in the first 50 episodes. Back then, there wasn't enough Speedgolf action to cover on a weekly basis, but our ultimate goal was to help grow the sport and develop into the world's only podcast devoted exclusively to Speedgolf.
As we approach our 100th episode, I'm proud of the unique content we have been able to produce and share with our listeners and fans. The entire POC library of past episodes is available on this website and will always be free to download and enjoy.
Starting in 2019, the POC Golf Podcast proudly relaunches as the POC Speedgolf Podcast! Each week, we will profile and interview the pioneers, innovators, entrepreneurs, athletes, and record breakers – the change agents in and around the future Olympic sport. With the help of our guests, the POC Speedgolf Podcast will shed light on the ways in which the game is growing and evolving to keep pace with the demands of the modern world: Fast. Affordable. Healthy. Fun!
Through the podcast you can join us on this incredible journey the game of Speedgolf is on. Subscribe today and get notified when we release a new episode.
Until then – pick up the pace; play from your heart.
