At Talk Birdie To Me, we have all been fans of the Monday Q Twitter page (here) for a long time, it's a ripper, if you're not following it then give yourself an uppercut and do it immediately. The guy who created it is Ryan French, and after Nick and Mark have consistently been referring to the page on the pod, we decided to get Ryan on the show for a yak, and it was a lot of fun.

We started, well at the start. Why did Ryan start the page, and how did it come about. He tells us about his 'wake-up' moment as a college golfer, junior golfer, when he realised how many incredible players there were and that he would't be a pro.

Nick and Mark talk about how they often were Monday Qualifiers and how important it was.

The chat goes in an unexpected direction when Ryan's Basset Hound decides that he would like to be part of the chat, we have a look and he is adorable.

Back to the page. Mark asks Ryan when he realised that he was onto something good, Ryan tells us about the moment in 2018 when he realised this could fly. And it involved an Australian golfer! And he tells us why his kids school day, on one occasion, took a (brief) backseat to the content on the page.

Ryan tells us what he loves so much about the Monday Qualifier stories, moreso in many cases than the big names. He calls golf the 'most democratic sport in the world'.

Mark asks Ryan about an amazing story to do with Mike Miller, a US golfer who played in last years Australian Open. The story of how this came about is fantastic, and Ryan tells the story.

We ask Ryan about ridiculous 4-spot situations he has seen, and he tells a great story about an Australian golfer in Texas called Todd Balkin.

And we wrap up with Ryan's 'Mona Lisa' story, the one that he just loves. It was not what we expected, but it was very funny!.

A great chat with Ryan French, he's a ripper and we hope you enjoy the chat as much as we did. Don't forget to subscribe to Talk Birdie To Me, and of course to follow Monday Q on Twitter!
