The classic 1980s kids movie “The Goonies” begins with the premise of a house being acquired so that a golf course in an Oregon town can be expanded, which in itself is unusual because normally that scenario plays out the other way around. The foreclosure doesn’t wind up happening, of course, as the kids save the day. Perhaps the movie was golf’s precursor to the cult 1997 Australian film “The Castle”, in which we learned the importance of acquiring and repurposing land “on just terms”.

When Royal Fremantle returned to our biennial ranking of Australia’s Top 100 Golf Courses last year after a 26-year absence, it was less of a surprise and more of an overdue recognition. This classic layout continues to impress with its natural contours, offering enough movement to create compelling golf holes while remaining an enjoyable walk.

Two of Sydney’s most revered golf courses are back in action after extensive redesign work. Royal Sydney’s main layout – now known as the Bay course – welcomed member play for the first time in more than a year in late March, while the much-cherished New South Wales course re-opened earlier that month.

Lee fulfilled the promise he’d shown to Australian golf fans for the best part of 10 years – since becoming the first from Down Under to win the US Boys Junior Amateur – when he broke through for a maiden PGA Tour victory at the Texas Children’s Houston Open. Not only did Lee convert a 54-hole lead – always a milestone in a tour pro’s career – but he held off world No.1 Scottie Scheffler. The two-time Masters champion was finishing strong and was playing in his home state.

At some point, we’ve all run low on golf balls during a round and been forced to seek “alternative options” in a nearby pond or trees. The balls you find on those expeditions might feature yellowing of the cover, scuff marks or paint loss – maybe all three. Those well-worn pellets serve a purpose in the moment, but it’s natural to wonder if you’re sacrificing performance by playing something that might be well past its prime.

Winning is an amazing feeling, and I was very proud of the way I handled myself. Mentally, it was a grind and I’m super-proud to win. It’s been one of my goals to become a winner on the PGA Tour and I’m happy to tick that off my list. They always say the difference between winning and losing is the six inches between your ears. I think that was a big part for me during the week. I always felt like I have the assets to win; it was just, Can you do it mentally?

Ladies, I have found where all the men are hiding – it’s at LIV Golf!According to Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australia has been in a ‘man drought’ since 2012, with females now outweighing males in every state and territory except Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Luckily for me, I was the winner of Australian Golf Digest’s Ripper GC competition, winning flights, accommodation and a three-day hospitality pass to LIV Golf, played at The Grange Golf Club in Adelaide in February.
