For those who are new to this party, I wrote a book on Vern Morcom and the golf courses he designed. Read about it: bit.ly/3sEsYbK (thanks @ratherbeatlunch). Listen: bit.ly/3B8pdOQ (thanks @Rod_Morri, @AdrianLogue). Buy it: bit.ly/3zitHlm.

@jarodhitchcock And seems to predict Cantlay 8 lines from the end.

Dan Jenkins on the glory that was the Ryder Cup of 1989. The line about the 10th at the Belfry is a classic.

@tooeytoogood Playing it tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing your work there.

This is a really good day at 7mile, only a few will understand how good😂

@Justin4ryan @OccasionalGolfr May be out of print in 20 years. Very important to get a copy now!

@OccasionalGolfr @MorcomCourses did someone write a book on this that Matt could buy?😉

If, in 20 years time, some young kid interested in golf course architecture comes to me and says he's heard about Sam Berriman and Vern Morcom, where will I be able to point him for examples of their work?

@mikeclaytongolf Hope you can hit a fade.

Holes that aren’t holes. 14 tee at Woodlands to 13 green. 175y.

@strosh33 PF Seagulls colours too.

Love where you live. ❤️

@jarodhitchcock Excellent demonstration that not all retro gear is good. Those irons are seriously ugly.

The most trusted name in golf, Ernest Borgnine - 1982

@HeathlandBlog @MattMollica Would also watch.

@MorcomCourses @MattMollica Tommy Lad and Justin Rose at Rye 👌

Adam Scott & Cam Smith at Kingston Heath. Rory & Lowry at Royal County Down. Ludvig & Viktor at Ohoopee. Fitz v Hatton at Brancaster. Hideki & Sungjae at Morfontaine.

@mollybonak I'm a strong believer in the value of public golf. And have a special appreciation for the architecture of Walter Travis, who was born in Australia.

@MorcomCourses Thank you! Mike’s intentions are so pure. It is all for the love of golf and bringing it to more people.

1/ This is a story about my brother, Mike McCartin. I’m convinced that if the President, his administration, and his supporters actually understood why Mike started The National Links Trust, they wouldn’t be trying to kill it. They’d be backing it.

@Mitchmullen15 Love number 200. If you come to Melbourne, head a few hours west to Balmoral. Set in very Australian bushland, sand greens, great layout. I can guarantee you will have it to yourself.

Last page of the bucket list. All international. Feel pretty confident in my Scotland and Ireland lists (not that they’re anywhere near everything I’d like to see), but would love to hear about more gems in Australia and New Zealand (5/5)

On the potential killing of a Walter Travis reversible.

@jamogolf @oakleighgolf @GolfDigestAU @GolfDigest @GolfAustMag @GolfAust They got your 3 word slogan wrong! Think they meant Easy Fun Affordable.

Just found this carved into a tree @oakleighgolf 🤣

Don't miss reading this KVV article.

@mikeclaytongolf Still remember watching Tiger shape a perfect approach into a back right pin on 3E in 2019 when no-one else could.

Sure to be a more appreciative and respectful crowd to play for than last week.

@mikeclaytongolf If the question is which looks better, I think left. But it's not all about looks. On a course with lots of wide fairways, I love how uncomfortable that tee shot from the right is.

Which tee shot looks better? RM Composite 4th.

@jamierkennedy More phones than women?

Love this... Dozens of fans watching Ludvig on the 4th hole at Wentworth this morning. One phone. Lesson: Don't worry about sharing the moment you get to see the best golfers in the world. Enjoy the moment.

@AndrewKirbyGolf @paraparaumupaul Even then, I thought I clipped a perfect 90m wedge...finished 40 ft past.

@paraparaumupaul @MorcomCourses Make sure you are on the fairway

While we're at it, front pin on RMW #3 not exactly a walk in the park.

@chatfield_gary 7! But actually most of my awfulness was well before I got to the green.

@MorcomCourses And your score was..???

Can confirm the left pin on RMW #6 is no picnic.
