Victorian Lucas Herbert is one such person, and it is easy to understand why.

In his short career as a professional and elite amateur, the 24-year-old has managed some unlikely and unique stories at the Australian Open – including driving from Melbourne to Sydney overnight to attempt to Monday qualify – earlier this year claimed his maiden European Tour win and has managed a practice round with Tiger Woods at The Open Championship in 2018.

However, for Herbert, his most treasured golfing moments have come well away from the spotlight of professional tournament golf.

“There has been a lot,” Herbert told Golf Australia magazine when asked for a favourite golf memory. “Obviously, winning in Dubai this year is a pretty easy answer and it is so fresh on your mind, so it is a very easy one to think of.

“We all played together in the three-man Ambrose, but I wouldn’t have had any issue beating those two if it was head-to-head." - Lucas Herbert.

“But I think probably twice since I have been ten years old I have lost the passion and desire to play golf and I think the couple of times where I have almost just rediscovered that is probably the moments I think back on the most.

“I remember being in the states through the middle of 2016, with some friends over at country club in Chicago and that was for me, a time where I had some average results prior, but felt like I really found the love for the game again and got right back into it. And just had a very good training block I guess to prepare for a lot of golf that came from that. So, that is probably my favourite memory in terms of my own golf, because I am quite competitive.

“From a pure golf perspective, I remember playing a school Ambrose day with my dad and my Pop. That was probably the only real time we ever got to play together, whilst Pop was still alive, in I guess a competitive format. That was pretty cool, just to have three generations play together, which didn’t happen very often. From a pure golf perspective that is probably one of my favourite memories there as well.

“It was at Bendigo Golf Club, it would have been at a guess 2011 or 2010, I was obviously quite young, Pop was still alive, Dad still had a good enough back to play golf, so it must have been about then.

“We all played together in the three-man Ambrose, but I wouldn’t have had any issue beating those two if it was head-to-head. They weren’t the greatest of golfers, but always very supportive of myself and my golf and always knew the people to point me in the direction of to get the advice I needed.”
