@bhughesgolf @AlistairPhilp1 Irwin. 2nd to Winged Foot 18. 1974. 2 iron. Norman and Zoeller 72nd hole 1984. 6 iron. Ogilvy 2006. 9 iron. Nearest to the pin? Irwin’s 2i.

@cdpgolf1 @TheAddingtonGC 4th

Above @TheAddingtonGC's GM's desk sits a photo. It's there to remind him and us of where we started. Gold star if you can name the hole. #afterisalwaysbetter

@tonyjdear @DeVriesDesigns Tony, I played it in November on a miserable day but came away thrilled to have finally seen it. 2026 Rankings in Oz have had it rated as high as 3 and no lower than 10. With Barny and KI, it’s a must visit for any serious golf junkie.

Here's a q&a I did with @DeVriesDesigns a few weeks ago about 7 Mile Beach which took a long time to build but finally opened all 18 holes in December. By all accounts (I've not been yet) it was well worth the wait. linksmagazine.com/links-qa-mike-…

@ewanports And thanks to you Ewan for your contribution to the coverage. Watching on delay and enjoying every minute.

We’ve waited 34 yrs for our national title to return to Royal Melbourne. Tomorrow, it gets underway & what an honour to be walking the fairways 🎤 with the feature group of Rory, Adam & Min Woo. The AO has its mojo back & the world is about to witness the best of Australian golf.

Miracles Can Happen | Countdown to the 2025 Ryder Cup youtu.be/R4SL35Uv7Lg?si… via @YouTube This remains for me one of the best golf watches ever. Along with Stenson v Mickelson @ Troon in 2016 and Rory this year at the Masters, if you’re a golf fan the doco is must watch.

I’m pretty sure I just heard Brandel support the theory of the PGA Championship being played around the world. Who’d have thought eh: Brandel Chamblee on Golf’s Wild Year: Rory’s Slam, LIV’s Reality & Ryder... youtu.be/APFdtsLYCzQ?si… via @YouTube

Another great interview by Evan Priest. I can’t find his X address so if anyone knows it, please pass this onto him ⁦@mikeclaytongolf⁩ podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/cha…

@Mike_kim714 Why doesn’t the PGAT just play the top 70 available players. If someone decides they don’t want to play simply replace them. Can you imagine the outcry if either of the Open’s or the PGA Ch’ship cut their field because of a withdrawal? Once again, the PGAT panders to the players.

Haha because Rory isn’t playing there’s 69 players and Matti is playing by himself

@TheOpen A fantastic video by @RandA which helps us applaud what Stewart Cink achieved albeit a little late. Nice words from @TomWatsonPGA too. Thanks Kayo for having it available in Australia.

The great Tom Watson has considerable appreciation for all that Stewart Cink overcame after winning The Open in 2009. Discover the untold story of The 138th Open by watching 'Underdogs' now on R&A TV: go.theopen.com/UNDERDOGS

@RuMacdonald @TheHomeofGolf Nice

Looks like a new St Andrews Old Course logo…Thoughts?

A ripping interview by Rod Morri with one of the greatest golfers from our region. Winning The Open at Lytham was wonderful but his performance in his own Open at the age of 71 is something wonderous. Sir Bob v G Player today would be something to see. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the…

Lovin’ the ABC commentary of D’s Pies in the lightening break. Can we organise more lightening for matches like this please @AFL Cheers @abcsport

2/2: Here’s Robe Golf Club’s website which you should all promote, it’s a little bit of Scotland in South Australia. @mikeclaytongolf @Rod_Morri @scott___warren @MattMollica robegolfclub.com

1/2: I played 12 holes @ Robe Golf Club today in their Chook Run with Peter, Willy & Jock having been introduced by Justine. As good a 12 holes as you’ll find. Playing all 18 tomorrow before heading to Adelaide. @mikeclaytongolf @Rod_Morri @scott___warren @MattMollica

@pawlspring @ukgolfguy @MachDunes @CarradaleGolf It’s a bloody long way to go back Paul. When I went in 2019 we stayed at the Ugadale Hotel and it included unlimited golf at Mach Dunes. Might be worth considering playing it on your trip

@ukgolfguy @MachDunes @CarradaleGolf What you think of the dunes courses? We’re going out there next year and the plan is Mach, dunaverty and carradale. Gonna skip the Mach dunes courses. We are based in Scotland so not like we can’t go back

We played two courses today. @MachDunes and @CarradaleGolf. Both good fun in different ways!

@morropga Awesome

Validation!

@HawthornFC what was Wil Day upset with Ginivan about after he kicked that goal at the end of the 3rd quarter?

Another reason to support Moore Park and stop its reduction from 18 to 9 holes. A place that welcomes everyone.

@ukgolfguy Many happy returns David, hope my countrymen are treating you and your group as well as your countrymen treated me last year at East Lothian

I find it hard to believe but it’s my 50th birthday today. It’s tough being the other side of the world from Clare, Sam and Rachel (they are my wife and children for the avoidance of doubt!) but wonderful to have an evening with Melbourne friends. Here’s to the next 50!

@sportslawyer7 I read your comments in SMH about reducing the distance the golf ball goes. Wondering why you think it is a backward step taking this action?
