Personal Lesson: Putt with hybrid from off the green
Most people reach for a wedge around the green but from uphill lies it can be difficult to get good, crisp contact with a lofted club because the leading edge can get stuck into the hill as you're playing through the shot. And while there are several clubs you could use, around courses with raised greens - and thus a lot of short shots from uphill lies - a hybrid is a great option, according to Head Professional at Pennant Hills GC, Neil Rolfe

19 Holes With ... Chad Townsend and Val Holmes
Former North Queensland Cowboys Val Holmes and Chad Townsend are Sydneysiders these days, turning out for the St George Illawarra Dragons and Sydney Roosters respectively. Yet their passion for golf and their Players Club social media and merchandise empire, forged in Townsville, has travelled into the deep south with them, as Matt Cleary found on a fine – if perilous to passing motorists - afternoon at Monash Country Club.

Cleary: Postcard from California
Our man Matt Cleary visited the great state of California for a golf and cultural exchange tour for the ages, and found the fine city of San Francisco where there is craft beer and steep streets and freaky driverless taxis. And, he can assure you, there is some of the all-time top golf.

"More pointless than Pokémon": Tomorrow's Golf League critiqued, and roughly
Matt Cleary has seen enough of Tomorrow's Golf League (TGL), the hybrid, indoor-outdoor, digital-actual, teams-based golf league in Florida to know that it's not for him. Indeed he wonders if it has any point at all.

Cleary: Postcard from Sin City
Our man Matt Cleary is on a sports odyssey of the United States, and comes to us live from Las Vegas where the stakes (and steaks) are large, the ice hockey impenetrable and the golf is flat-out extraordinary.

Spotlight: Commonwealth Golf Club
Brian Slawnik and Tom Doak of Renaissance Golf Design have long been unabashed fans of the Sandbelt, and of Commonwealth Golf Club in particular. When asked to redesign the course, the first thing Slawnik told members was that it’s already great and that RGD would approach the work as preservationists. What Slawnik, RGD and Commonwealth greens staff did since has reimagined and reinvigorated one of Australia’s great courses.

For the last two years the good burghers of the World Golf Awards have declared LIV Adelaide the best tournament in the world.
