First stop: Omaha Golf Club, an hour north of Auckland, where a humble nine-holer has evolved into a championship links-style playground framed by native bushland and sparkling harbour views.

Andrew Daddo kicks off our two-part series, Trophy Hunter, exploring why golf’s silverware means so much more than metal and engraving.

We also dive into The Fitting Revolution, as Jared Love and Alex Dudley-Bateman reveal how today’s custom club and ball fitting technology and philosophies are transforming golfers from weekend hackers to world-beaters.

Then, enjoy a few drinks with Ricky Ponting at Country Club Tasmania, where the cricket great talks about his ambassador role in a $20 million revamp - and his fondest golf memories south of Bass Strait.

Looking for travel inspiration? We have plenty. Tee off among the vines in South Australia’s Clare Valley, take an epic Great Southern Loop from Shell Cove to the Highlands, or escape to Tasmania’s brilliant Barnbougle region for world-class courses and local wines. Dreaming further afield? Fabulous Cyprus blends European sunshine, ancient history and outstanding golf in one irresistible package.

Sharpen your game with Tom Linskey’s simple swing fundamentals, Scott Cranfield’s 21-day challenge and a mental game masterclass from Chris Hynes, who explains how to turn first-tee nerves into performance fuel.

And in Playing With, we test the Titleist T-Series irons and Callaway Opus SP wedges to see if the hype holds up.

All this and more inside the November 2025 issue of Golf Australia magazine, available now wherever great magazines are sold.
