Soly and Ben bring you the weekly recap pod from down under where Aussie Jasper Stubbs wins the Asia-Pacific Amateur at Royal Melbourne's famed composite course.
We start with our observations from the week and experiencing firm and fast sandbelt golf at one of the best courses in the world before breaking down the action from the 2023 tournament (14:00) culminating in Stubbs winning in a playoff and securing invites to the 2024 Masters, the 2024 Open Championship and the 2024 Amateur Championship.
We also reflect on the purpose of the tournament (29:00) and some of the interesting stories and competitors we met during the week from all over this part of the globe including countries with little to no championship golf tradition.
We close with Ben's impressions as a first-time visitor, of Melbourne's golf culture and sandbelt courses (42:30), our upcoming match on the composite course at Royal Melbourne, and (55:00) the need for more top-level professional golf in Australia.
