Ogilvy: Holes that have always struck a positive chord with me
We all have favourites. I know I do when it comes to golf holes. They are not necessarily the best par-3s, par-4s and par-5s — although I would argue that they are right up there.

Cleary: A golf course so good you'll write love letters about it

The Lowdown: Australasians at the Evian

Travel: Fabulous Fancourt
There are few dates on the calendar as highly anticipated as a golf trip covering multiple courses, intertwined with once in a lifetime experiences and accompanied with great food and wine.

Cleary: John Deere in the headlights a 28-under snooze-fest
Following the Great Rebellion of Kerry Packer’s World Series Cricket series, in which Dennis Lillee, Viv Richards and the Chappell brothers wore coloured clothing and played “Super Tests” under floodlights with a, gasp, white ball, Australian cricket reunited for season 1979/80.

Review: Pacific Harbour Golf & Country Club
It seems to be the same old story every summer these days. Bushfires in the south of the country, rain and floods to the north.

Column: If you look in the right places you can find good
Amongst the ever-changing nature of the sport this writer covers, plenty of aspects – especially in the professional game – make you shake your head.

Travel Feature: Capital Country
The best thing about Canberra is the air. Now, now – none of your cheek. Not the stuff out of the buffoons we send to the Capital to look after our interests, the gibbering nincompoops whose bluster could power so many of Canberra’s much-photographed hot-air balloons.

Great golfing weekend: Victorian Goldfields
This region is much more than your Australian history school textbooks coming to life. For those looking beyond gold-panning at theme parks and visiting goldrush landmarks, there’s a plethora of riches to be found on the district’s many golf courses.

Cleary: If Trump and Biden are single-figure markers, I am the ghost of Sam Snead
And I am not the ghost of Sam Snead. At least far as I know.

Cleary: if bunkers are hazards, why do we rake them?
The venerable game of golf, according to the noble Scottish weirdos and beardies and old-money dandies who first decided the sandy dunes “linking” the arable land and the sea could be used to to whack feather-filled leather balls about the place and thus fill in the new thing called "leisure time", was never meant to be fair.

Beginner’s guide to Women’s PGA Championship
The third major on the women’s schedule, won by so many of the world’s greatest players, is almost here. Whoever conquers Washington State’s Sahalee Country Club in 2024 will be contributing to the tournament’s long and truly intriguing history.

CLEARY: PINEHURST NO.2 THE GREAT STAR OF U.S OPEN
The U.S Open had a brilliant and compelling finish as the game's superstars rose and fell until there could be only one. And it was Pinehurst No.2 that made it happen.

Where dreams are made... and broken
It’s long been decreed by those dungeon masters of the United States Golf Association that U.S Open venues must have super-thin fairways and thick, chunky, chop-it-sideways rough. Thus, the first two times Pinehurst No.2 hosted the national championship (1999 and 2005), it was a beast more penal than Pentridge. Yet the USGA appears to have mellowed, and bucked the trend of punishment for the sake of it. And it’s been Pinehurst at the vanguard. And this year's U.S Open should be entertaining indeed.

Review: Monash Country Club
It is nearly 40 years since I first laid eyes on the beautifully prepared fairways and greens at Monash Country Club, which sits high on a hill overlooking Sydney’s sprawling northern beaches.

Cleary: Golf must adapt to climate change because we can't trust the pols
And so it was to golf on Saturday at my home track, except there was no golf because it rained as if Moses had thrown open the Tasman Sea. Fairly hosed down, friend. You know those colours on the radar that illustrate rain density? There was a melange of orange, purple and puce. There was Sydney Sixers magenta. There was the rich black of Satan.

Travel: Bushranger Country
Victoria’s High Country and the adjoining Goulburn Valley region are perhaps the least known of the state’s golfing destinations, despite the number of easily accessible and affordable courses on offer.

Cleary: Grayson Murray and the power of golf
Every Saturday afternoon at my golf club, the tables of knowledge convene. Men, mostly, in groups, yapping, shouting, putting shit on each other. It's socialising, though these men would never call it that. They’d never call it anything.
