Matt and Scott take a leaf out of the NoLayingUp playbook and map out some personal goals for the year ahead. Golf, health, personal development – all bases covered. And some golf chat thrown in there amongst all the good intentions. We hope this inspires listeners to reflect on the last year, and perhaps set some targets for the coming twelve months.
Australian Golf Passport podcast is brought to you by Angus And Grace Go Golfing and Burnley Brewing.
Matt has been rocking the AAGGG shorts in what is peak summer golf weather – one look at these and you’ll need to own a pair of these shorts too. They’re super fashionable, and fit beautifully. They come in a great range of colours, and pair brilliantly with the three button pocket polo. Visit the Angus and Grace Go Golfing website, Instagram page, or bricks and mortar store (Sydney), and get your hands on some of the best golf apparel in the world, before it all sells out.
Burnley Brewing are back in the swing of things in 2024 – reinstating Trivia Tuesday at their tap room – situated at 648-650 Bridge Road Richmond. Kicking off January 23 (7:30pm start) – there’s beers and great prizes up for grabs. Go visit Burnley Brewing online at www.burnleybrewing.com.au or on insta.

Is it the best course in the world? Who can say. Royal Melbourne’s famed Composite layout has its moment in the Australian Golf Passport podcast spotlight this episode. We discus the origins of the concept for a course combining holes from East and West, and why it originated. The holes that make up Composite, and the sequence in which they’re been played for many different events in over time is also a topic for this episode. We round out the episode mulling over a host of listener questions, while also reminiscing about Presidents Cups of years gone by.
We hope this neatly puts a bow on our talks about Royal Melbourne, and that you find it a timely chat, with the imminent staging of the Asia Pacific Amateur championship over the Composite course later this month. We trust you will enjoy listening to this discussion about one of the world’s finest golf courses.

With a flurry of activity on the local golf scene, and one great question accidentally omitted from the recent mailbag episode, we call an emergency pod, and spend longer than we thought we would discussing the events of the week.
The impending tweaks to three of the back nine holes on Port Fairy are discussed, pursuant to a recent Victorian state government finding regarding the Club’s boundary.
The National’s insta poll on their ‘Dream 18’ is fodder for Scott, who comes in off the long run over the selection of Old’s 3rd hole above those from Gunnamatta and Moonah. This leads into a broader discussion of Old and the other selections on the fantasy layout.
Lastly – we spend a good chunk of time addressing Shane Derby’s question on the best short 3s, short 4s and short 5s in Australia. Sure to provoke some strong listener reaction, Scot & Matt make their nominations, and hopefully haven’t made any glaring omissions!
