Exclusive: The reason Hannah Green plays golf
The role of Karrie Webb in mentoring Hannah Green to major championship glory has been well documented but the influence of another woman has been equal – or perhaps even more important – in the development of Australia’s third women’s Grand Slam tournament winner.

Morri: Time to put the scorecard away
Here’s a topic to add to the list of ‘do not discuss at dinner parties’: Golf is about more than score.

Morri: Golf’s perception problem
No doubt it takes great skill to achieve but can somebody please explain the fascination with tournament courses cutting their fairways in a chequerboard pattern?

Morri: Hope
According to the old joke, it’s called golf because all the other four-letter words were taken and – like most jokes – there is some truth in that.

Morri: The long and the short of it
The enduring image of the 2019 Solheim Cup will be that of Suzann Pettersen, arms raised, screaming to the heavens after holing the most dramatic putt of her life to both clinch the trophy and simultaneously end her professional career.

Morri: Cash isn’t always king
The problem with the FedExCup isn’t that Rory McIlroy won $15 million. It’s that he won another $15 million.

Morri: Dear Gabi … I was wrong
The enduring memory of Gabi Ruffels’ historic US Women’s Amateur win will, for many, be the gutsy 7-iron approach and seemingly nerveless birdie putt at the 36th hole to seal victory.

Morri: 2019 was full of major excitement
To all those who think golf is boring, consider this a big fat raspberry in your general direction.

Morri: More to majors than money
Is it or isn’t it? Since 2013 the LPGA says ‘yes’ but for many in the golf world the answer remains ‘no’ when it comes to the Evian Championship and its major status.

Morri: Where to from here?
It would be difficult to imagine a major season bookended by two more memorable results. Tiger at Augusta and Lowry at Portrush will forever be remembered as special moments in the game, even among the historic Grand Slam events.

Morri: Wunderkinds Beware
Golf, perhaps more than any other sport, likes to anoint its stars of the future early but it’s a dangerous practise which backfires more often than not. In truth, the list of ‘Can’t Miss Kids’ who have missed is a long one.

Morri: Come and see the real thing
There was some remarkable golf played on the world’s Tours at the weekend. Jon Rahm’s charging finish to claim a second Irish Open title, the stunning play of rookie Matthew Wolff to win in Minnesota and the birdie fest that was the LPGA event in Wisconsin weren’t short on entertainment.

Morri: Links golf … Now that’s entertainment
For many golf fans – this writer included – the next few weeks represent the best time of year to be a spectator of the professional game.

Morri: Coverage Calamity
Here’s an unthinkable scenario. A young Australian player in just their second year on Tour holds the 54-hole lead at one of the game’s majors.

Morri: A major lesson
It’s often difficult to know what major championship golf teaches us – if anything – about the game.

Morri: Not where but how you get there
In golf, no matter what level, there is no destination. The real game is the journey. Or more importantly, how the player deals with the good and bad along the way as opposed to where he or she finishes on the leaderboard.

Morri: When less could mean much more
Most language historians attribute the saying ‘less is more’ to Scottish poet Robert Browning – a fitting fact given the topic of today’s column.

Morri: A tale of two majors
Like most golf fans, the bulk of my attention this past week was on only one of the two majors being played in the United States.

Morri: Mind the gap
Not for the first time, there was controversy last week when former NFL player Tony Romo – by all accounts a more than capable amateur golfer – was given an invite to play the PGA Tour’s Byron Nelson tournament in Texas.

Morri: Savour the shot, not the score
Australia has one of the best golf cultures in the world and, for the most part, an approach to the game that is the envy of many outside these shores.
