Must-read golf course review of Barnbougle Dunes

March 14, 2016

Ran Morrissett casts his eye over one of Australia’s best golf courses; Barnbougle Dunes

If you love Barnbougle Dunes, want to go play golf there or simply a connoisseur of great golf course design, you must read this review of Barnbougle Dunes by Ran Morrissett.

As founder of Golf Club Atlas, Morrissett is a doyen in the realm of golf course architecture and his captivating review of Barnbougle begins with a great overview of the history of its construction; from the initial consultations with land owner (and non-golfer) Richard Sattler to the intricacies and challenges of the layout:

REVIEW The new Bushnell Tour X rangefinder

June 5, 2015

If you’re not sure your golf game is worthy of a laser rangefinder then maybe this will convince you.

A few thoughts on TPC Harding Park ahead of the 2015 WGC Cadillac Match Play Championship

April 28, 2015

On a recent trip through San Francisco, I played TPC Harding Park – home of this week’s WGC Cadillac Match Play Championship.

My day getting fitted for new golf clubs at Pure Performance Golf Labs: video

November 28, 2014

In the search for a set of new golf clubs, I decided to get fitted at Pure Performance Golf Labs.

I wasn’t prepared for my round at The Beach Course at Thirteenth Beach.

Firstly, I’d misjudged the weather. My shorts and t-shirt weren’t appropriate for this chilly, windy day.

April 23, 2014

Vice Golf launch their new golf balls and with whole new way of purchasing them.

Grumpy Old Golfer’s Putting Tips: book review

February 11, 2014

Simple, concise putting tips are laid out in a new book by the Grumpy Old Golfer.

E.P.Murphy’s new book of putting tips is more like an old notebook than an instructional book. It’s not a book that you would necessary read from cover to cover but perhaps pick up from time to time to get a few basics back in place for using the short stick.
