From over your head into the croquet park to over the burn…

There’s still good in the world. Broke down at a decent size intersection in a not so great neighbourhood… 2 legends helped me push the car into nearby servo. Society brilliant when given the chance. And the battery bloke was an absolute superstar! You’ll never know but THANKS!

@acaseofthegolf1 @OWGRltd Strange that tours go above and beyond to shield the cheats. Protect brand? In some instances promote their stories despite knowing infractions which effectively take $$ away from others.

How getting caught cheating actually HELPED a players career, and why, in my opinion, all tours under the @OWGRltd should honor suspensions from from any other owgr tour: I’ve been working on a story about how Tours across the world handle cheating for over a year (The full story is still a work in progress but one of the incidents is very relevant this week) It all started in February of 2025, when Ryan Ang was DQ’d from a Webex Players Series Mixed event. According to multiple people I spoke with a player in Ang’s group saw him drop a ball out of his pocket on the 17th hole, claiming it was his original ball. The player told officials in scoring and the official allegedly went out to the 17th and found his original ball. I messaged with Ang after the incident and although he didn’t directly admit it, he said he made “a bad mistake”. He was suspended from the Aussie Tour, but the Tour went to great lengths to keep the incident out of the press and on the DL as much as possible. According to the players I spoke with, that included calling a player meeting and encouraging them to not speak about it. (I’ve learned in my reporting that this is sadly not uncommon on major tours across the world and is the main point of the full story I’ve been working on) A little over a month later Ang played on the Asian Dev Tour, I assume they knew nothing of the incident in Australia. Then Ang, from Singapore played a full schedule on the China Tour. (Again, assuming they knew nothing of the incident in Aussie) And played well, making 12 of 15 cuts including 4 top 10s. The DQ and subsequent suspension had basically no effect on his career, in fact in ended up helping him get into a DP event. Ang likely would have likely never played the China Tour last season had he not been suspended from the Aussie Tour, but did after his suspension. This week Ryan Ang is playing on the DP World Tour, based on his Order of Merit finish last season on the China Tour, again something that likely wouldn’t have been possible if he had played the full season in Aussie. The length of his suspension in Aussie is unknown, however he was listed in a field earlier this year (he didn’t play) so I assume it’s over. He opened with an even par round today on DP and is right on the cut line.

@NoLayingUp Yehhhhhh red and yellow mixed up. randa.org/players-rule-f…

We are receiving word that we got the rules wrong on a podcast about the rules

PS - AK’s redemption doesn’t happen with 54 holes…. #justsayin

White belts are back baby!! #AK

I think it was comedian, Jimmy Carr, who said that happiness is your current situation minus expectations. Perhaps he stole this from someone else. Either way, it feels true. Jannik Sinner, having lost to Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals of the Australian Open looks devastated. Professional athletes tend to be when they lose. My thirty years in high performance sport has shown me that the ability to recover from disappointment is such a crucial part of being a high performance athlete. Most are going to lose…they’re going to lose a lot! Most have to experience an overwhelm of emotion following a loss and then very quickly go again. Go again Go again Go again Easy to say. Devilishly difficult to do. The sensorial memory of loss can linger in mind and body. The stinging sense of defeat can emotionally burden for some time. And so the ability to flex and shift back to high mastery and a high performance mindset with speed is critical. The same holds in the corporate world. Disappointments aplenty - that missed job opportunity, that lost account, that failed pitch - none of these can be allowed to cripple enthusiasm. None of these can be allowed to render you ‘actionless’. But that’s hard! And so back to Jimmy Carr. Happiness is your current situation less expectation. Direct your expectation appropriately. “All I expect from myself is to start and stay in a high performance mindset. All I expect from myself is to deliver in my competitive persona. All I expect from myself is my competitive process. That’s all!” The greatest athletes must expect great things from themselves. But for mood regulation and to remain mastery-oriented, those expectations must be aspects they can control…

Amazing how simple actions galvanise and make a group of individuals a real TEAM. But… GO HAWKS!!

SEAHAWKS!!!!!!!!!!

2 putts, 1 cup

Oh Rory!!! Inject it in my veins!!!! #rydercup #stfu

There is no better golf than Match Play. #RyderCup2025

@TronCarterNLU Keegan gets Woodland to rough up JT in the team room and then subs himself in!!! You know it makes sense

There’s something poetic about watching guys get boatraced in the matches and then those same guys popping up on every commercial break for corporate spots. 🤌

@KVanValkenburg Distance from play to crowd a factor you think? Seems like a large expanse where crowd can’t get close to the action.

Crowd feels very much ... subdued.

WE ARE GRAND FINAL BOUND! 🔥 See you next Saturday, Cats Fans! #WeAreGeelong | @FordAustralia
