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.

Top-100 Spotlight: Commonwealth Golf Club

1 week ago | golfaustralia.com.au | Matt Cleary

Following a trip to Australia in 1988, Tom Doak returned home to write a book he would call The Confidential Guide To Golf Courses. It was meant as a guide for his friends, so often had the well-travelled, 26-year-old enfant terrible of golf course design been asked about the best places to play in various countries. He self-published 40 copies, presented them as gifts, and, presumably, thought relatively little more about it. The book became a sensation.
Cleary: Crime and punishment the USGA way, but it limits the U.S Open

1 week ago | golfaustralia.com.au | Matt Cleary

The U.S Open has been run and won, and, as is the way of these things, it was won by pars and "good" bogies, and iced by a long-bomb bird for the ages. Victor JJ Spaun, the only man under-par after 72 holes of carnage, was best in show at: driving straight on the 25-metre-wide fairways; limiting three-putts on the high-stimp, big-sloping greens; and chopping out best for luck from the thick and tangled mix of ryegrass and poa and old Kentucky blue.
Cleary: A LIV player can win this U.S Open and Brandel Chamblee is off his head

For there was Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm, the pair locked at nine-under. Scheffler had gone out in two-over 37. Rahm – who had begun the round five shots back – had birdied eight, 10 and 11. And the big crowd in Charlotte knew the big Spaniard was coming. Buckle up, sports fans. This is war.

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

1 month 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.
Say her name: US Women's Open tip is in

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.

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.

Flashback: Elkington's 1995 PGA Championship triumph

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

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.
