September 18 A quick bush bash
Albury Golf Club looks pretty fantastic from the clubhouse - that was as close as I got on this trip - the greens were being cored as I chatted with Henry Brind, the club pro who's done an awful lot in golf for a young man. Something of a younger prodigy, he's making moves in all the right directions.

September 09 Build It And They Will Come
Rob Nixon was a bit late to golf, but boy did he make up for lost time. Lessons, a solid goal, a dream of his own course/club/tournament, and then the very best of the world's golf. It's quite a story and he's clearly quite an operator. Yarravale was the dream, and as you'll hear, dreams do come true.

September 02 Living Aussie history - two genuinely good stories of golf
Between them, Geoff Everett and Colin Kaye have won just about everything there is to win in Australian Amateur golf. At 91 and 82 respectively, they've hoarded titles at The Lakes and beyond since the 60's, represented state and country, even played with Sam Snead. It's a colourful, joyful, memorable chat with two greats. They came armed with photos and scrapbooks - it was a hell of a morning.

Rob Curtis is the Head Teaching Pro at The Lakes Golf Club in Sydney. It's a big role needing a big thinker to take it on. Rob is just that person, and a prime example of how old fashioned personal teaching has it all over youtube and AI lessons.

August 14 Lucky to be alive - even luckier to be golfing
Theo Venter is one of the lucky ones - A catastrophic workplace accident - 22000 volts of electrical current through his heart - word from the doctor that his death was imminent - and yet, he's back... and on the golf course. It's an amazing tale of resilience, a cautionary tale certainly, but one of determination as well...

August 03 No Guts All Glory: Michael Infanti
Michael Infanti is a golf professional who worked out pretty early that if anyone was going to be accountable for the result on the scoreboard, it might as well be him. Golf was perfect, and it's been the epicentre of his life ever since - pretty much... there was one mighty hiccup along the way, one that took true determination and guts to deal with. All his guts. It's a great story...

July 22 My Island Home: Swan Island
There are a stack of reasons to be excited about visiting Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula . for a golf trip - and one you may not know about. Swan Island sits just off the town of Queenscliff - it's where you come and go from the ferry to Sorrento - and is home to Queenscliff Golf Club. It's good, honest, old fashioned fun golf - while you're there, say hi to the GM, Rob Aulich. He's easily as good as the course...

Bairnsdale Golf Club, which is closer to Paynesville, is down the coast from Lakes Entrance and may well be the start or the end of your golfing road trip between Sydney and Melbourne. It's a classic country course in exceptional condition. Jeff Graham's at the helm in Bairnsdale, avid golfer and fisher, he's right where he wants to be, and where we should definitely visit.

March 24 The Kindred Spirit
Darren Adam's a brick laying renovation expert who makes old things look great again. He strikes me as being entirely normal, especially when he talks about golf because he loves it. LOVES IT! One of my favourite chats about golf - and it's all about golf. A game he says is, amongst other things, solving problems.

March 10 James Erskine
James Erskine - the 'Pioneer of Sports Management in Australia' has had a hell of a life. Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman, Shane Warne, Michael Parkinson, Tiger Woods - he's been involved with the very very best sport has to offer. And entertainment, think Michale Parkinson. What about V8 Supercars? Golf Tournaments? Tennis? He's been in and around some of the best bits of our lives since the 70's, and he's good enough to share the stories, the lessons and the life.
