Golf Australia

Golf Australia is the official organization that oversees golf in Australia. It was established in 2006 when the Australian Golf Union (AGU) and Women's Golf Australia (WGA) decided to join forces. This merger was approved during a meeting in Melbourne in August 2005, following the Australian Sports Commission's warning that it would cut financial backing unless the two organizations came together. The Commission provided around A$1.5 million each year to support golf at the Australian Institute of Sport.

Aussie Jennifer Elliott’s resilience rewarded with U.S Women's Open debut

1 week ago | golfaustralia.com.au | James Smith

Elliott (nee Herbst), a 24-year-old Western Australian and former WA State Team member, earned her spot among 41 debutants with an impressive 8-under performance at her Texas sectional qualifier. Elliott’s journey to one of golf’s grandest stages has been a gradual ascent. Born in South Africa, she moved with her family to Western Australia at the age of seven. It was at Perth’s Lake Karrinyup Country Club - where she joined as a 12-year-old - that her passion for the game truly took root.

Who am I? As a 14-year-old amateur I won the national championship of my country. In my rookie season as a professional, I won three times on the U.S tour. By October of that year, at the age of 19, I became the second-youngest world number-one of all time. I have since won 18 tournaments around the world and earned $10 million in prize money. And I may be the greatest player you have never heard of.

Jockey William Pike is known, of course, in the Australian way, as “Pikey”, but also as “The Wizard” for his ability to extract maximum performance from any given steed at any given track.
Cleary: PGA's a bludger of a major, and two-time major champion can't change my mind

And so endeth another United States PGA Championship, this one hosted at Quail Hollow; a long and strong Augusta National Mini-Me down to its pine straw, bubbling brooks, blinding white sand, and uniform, manicured-as-if-by-elite-squad-of-Japanese-artisans aesthetic. And, for sure, in a breeze, rough like clutching witch-fingers, pins cut in tight corners of greens of pure linoleum, it was a test of the great players in the world. And, like Augusta, it told a story.

In a tournament filled with twists and turns, Elkington’s clutch putting and steely nerves helped him claim his sole major title in spectacular fashion. The 77th edition of the PGA Championship delivered high drama, as the world’s best gathered in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles. Heading into the final round, South Africa’s Ernie Els held a commanding six-shot lead after posting a record-breaking 197 over 54 holes, the lowest score recorded in a major at the time.
Cleary: Lookin' at you, America. Spread the love and gift fourth major to the world

Until 1958, the United States PGA Championship was a match-play tournament with a stroke-play qualifier. Ben Hogan didn’t play it that often because he didn’t like match-play. Plus, the tournament was on the same weekend as the Open Championship in Britain. How about that – they’re both major championships today; last century they were played the same day. In more recent times, in 2019, authorities moved the tourney from August to May, and thus it became the second major of the year.

When a gin-slinging journo pal of Arnold Palmer's created golf's grand slam

3 weeks ago | golfaustralia.com.au | Matt Cleary

Over gin and tonics on the jumbo jet, Palmer mused with his biographer, Bob Drum, that it was impossible for an amateur to make like Bobby Jones and win the “Grand Slam”, which until then was the Open and Amateur Championships of the USA and Great Britain. Palmer argued that no amateur could ever do it again, and that Drum should write something about it. Drum, as the chief proselytiser of the legend of “Arnold Palmer”, wrote it up thus, and created Palmer’s quotes, as he often did.
