@jamierkennedy Stumbled upon this not long ago except the course only opened in 2001!!!!

You know you’re playing an old links when you find one of these…

@MarkAllenGolf Hardly anyone uses the parks there anyway it is already enourmous. They just sit in the I hate golf camp.

This is an absolute disgrace. Moore Park is just about the busiest Golf Course in the Country!! Clover Moore and Premier Minns should hang their heads in shame… FFS 🤦

@PaulineHansonOz Well said but I don’t think you’re the answer.

The RBA has been forced to raise interest rates and punish mortgage holders AGAIN because this Labor Government doesn’t understand basic economics. Their reckless spending and non-stop handouts are driving inflation through the roof. They’re throwing taxpayer dollars around and then act shocked when inflation explodes. Governments are supposed to deliver economic stability, not buy votes. Labor have destroyed productivity, wiped out industries and manufacturing, and flooded the public service with more bureaucrats to keep their poll numbers up. Australians aren’t destitute because they’re lazy, they’re destitute because this Government has killed hope. People are crying out for help and Labor’s answer is another handout, paid for by putting it on the national credit card. We are NOT going to turn this around while they keep buying votes with taxpayer money. Next week’s budget is the moment of truth. If they’ve got any sense left Labor will show real restraint, cut the waste and start reducing both debt AND inflation.

@karlstefanovic I work for a bank and plenty have been given. Typical Karl bullshit.

Remember when the government announced the $1 billion Economic Resilience Program to help businesses struggling in this fuel mess? They said eligible Australian businesses would have access to zero interest loans. Anyone got one???

@Ryandally08 Abbott what an absolute Neanderthal

Former PM Tony Abbott on the ‘Welcome to Country’ “We were never asked should we be welcomed to our own country” “We were never asked should we fly 3 flags instead of 1” “The 1 time we were asked with the voice referendum the answer was a resounding no”

@k9cbw @tomandmartys Should have seen that one Chris

@tomandmartys Nob. It’s one club called Royal Lytham and St. Anne’s because that’s the name of the town. Two small towns that merged into one. The first tee is in St. Anne’s , the 9th green is in Lytham

This is awful. Pick one. Royal Lytham, or St Annes. No one likes it when they do a multi-course rotation at the Amex or Torrey Pines. Now they are holding an Open Championship on two courses? Such bullshit.

@AndyTFE @CPowers14 What does performative even mean?

@CPowers14 If you are a righty and hit a cut, in most cases you should tee the ball as far right on a tee box as possible. In this scenario it gives him the most room to play with left with the trees. So...not performative at all.

Textbook case of performative tee placement

@DominicVillaSC Sadly in Sydney, Anzac Day is an absolute piss up social event for young people. I was disgusted when I lived there.

Lest we forget?

@Robert_Peake @mgwp1 I concur. SAB has has obvious flaws that get looked over due to Doak

@mgwp1 I think that’s about right for SAB - somehow or other it’s getting a lot more kudos than others - the Doak factor?

@VPeluso8 @jamierkennedy Ridiculous call

@jamierkennedy When money is the only motivation you have - which over time we learned that was what it was all about for Greg - it makes losses like this a lot easier to get over

“I screwed up” Norman told the media. “It’s all on me. I know that, but losing the Masters is not the end of the world. I let this one get away, but I still have a pretty good life. I’ll wake up tomorrow still breathing, I hope. All these hiccups I have, they must be for a reason. All this is just a test; I just don’t know what the test is yet.” #96MastersRedo ⏪

@TheShotgunStart @KVanValkenburg Simply the best golf podcast out there with a sprinkle of a few other matters. Not postcard for the PGA Tour. Never change guys. So good.

Any swing-and-miss could turn into a home run if you try hard enough. Special thanks to @KVanValkenburg for bringing up the Browns on today's episode!

@PGATOUR 3rd round is started and you don’t even have your round 2 highlights up. Absolute shit show over there and don’t blame local streaming blockout either it’s not available there either. @Foxtel @TalkBirdie_ToMe

@fried_egg_golf You can not go past this place. What a course

With its Golden Age-inflected design, simple but well-tuned maintenance, and relaxed atmosphere, Palmetto offers one of the Southeast's most enjoyable days of golf.

@PGATOUR can we ditch the dog shit international feed coverage we are stuck with here in Australia. It’s 2nd rate crap and on a long delay. Leaders have hit on 18 2nd shot live and on tv haven’t even teed off. Absolute ruining your own product @TalkBirdie_ToMe @TheShotgunStart

@golfafter60 @CPowers14 And distance has ruined countless member clubs facing boundary issues they never had. Shorter ball, shorter courses, shorter time to play means more golf for some. No roll back supporters are the ones who don’t want their egos dinted.

@CPowers14 He's not wrong. All this just to protect the egos of a very small number of legacy courses.

On Wednesday, I asked Michael Thorbjornsen for his hottest golf take, and after a long, thoughtful pause, he said “let’s not roll back the golf ball.” Asked him why not, and he went on for over a minute on why “long and straight” should still be rewarded, a very similar argument to @chambleebrandel ‘s on the matter. Thorbjornsen, who will play in the final group on Sunday in his first-ever Players Championship, ranks third in the field in SG/OTT this week and has hit 29 of 42 fairways (69%). For the season he ranks 20th on tour in driving distance, averaging 313.7 yards

@rtralphy @tommorris32 @1116sen He’s a vice captain

@tommorris32 @1116sen Another example Andrew Dillon is a career non-leading 2IC in the big chair. He chose not to know the ins and outs or he didn’t think he should have. Non leader

Andrew Dillon: “I don’t know the ins and outs of scripts and the like but Matthew Pavlich did a great job of hosting that ceremony… to pay tribute to the victims of what was a horrific attack on the Jewish community.” Listen to full chat: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/cru… @1116sen

@Stephanie85WAGY Pretty ordinary sportsmanship. Clearly playing well below his level.

😲 Father (Darren) & Son (Sam) opening partnership of 590* in the Adelaide & Suburban Assoc cricket today 💥🏏

@mikeclaytongolf If only McKenzie had made it to Perth

Holes that aren’t holes. Western Australia.

@TalkBirdie_ToMe @jimmy140378 The unintentional comedy from Jimmy is just sensational.

Congratulations to @jimmy140378, our first nominee for our '2026 Moron of the Year' in the @TalkBirdie_ToMe annual awards. Don't want to call it too early, but Jimmy will be tough to beat in this category.

@TheShotgunStart @KVanValkenburg Loved the Lloyd Mangrum piece in Friday Flashbacks. Reminds me of our great Aussie cricket Keith Miller who provided the great quote. As per below. What a Legend.

Always a good time for @KVanValkenburg to read some Lucas Glover quotes
