Ogilvy: All that really matters is what the ball does
Like just about every golfer, I suspect, I have spent my life searching for a better golf swing. It all started when I was very young, at a time when I was lucky enough to receive some vital lessons from great club professionals.

Huggan: Before too long, Augusta’s mildly amusing rules gravitate to irritating
Especially for the millions of golf fans around the world who have never been fortunate enough to attend a Masters Tournament, this column has the potential to sound a bit weird, but here goes.

Ogilvy: The one time I played well enough at Augusta to actually win
“Eight times” is the response I give to a question I’m often asked: how many times did you play in the Masters? I wish it was more often, because I always felt the Augusta National course and my game were a pretty good fit.

Timing, as someone once said in a moment of clarity, is everything. And rarely has that been more glaringly obvious than at the recent Dubai Desert Classic.

Ogilvy: I’d like to see a series of global swings
This is the time of year when I get asked what I’d like to see happen in golf over the next 12 months.

New Zealand's Lydia Ko has always said she won't play much high-level golf past the age of 30 and wants to go out on her own terms while loving what she is doing.

Feature story: Open for the taking
There is no greater opportunity for a golfer to etch their name into folklore than winning a major championship at the Old Course.

Opinion: Creativity and chance make the Open great
There are too many fantastic aspects of the Open Championship to pen in one column.
18 Jul 2024
Column: Remember who we are dealing with
You see it far too often and at far too many junior golf tournaments, practice facilities and in other sports as well. This means it is probably happening in the car ride home or at the dinner table, which is even more concerning.

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.

Huggan: The old boys speak
Plugging a brief gap between traditions here at the Masters, three legends of the game took their places in the interview room on Thursday morning. Having just hit their traditional tee-shots to officially open the 88th playing of golf’s so-called “rite of spring”, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tom Watson were primed to answer all the usual questions from the assembled journalists.

Huggan: State of the Augusta National nation
It really should begin with a member of the Monty Python team announcing “and now for something completely different”. But it doesn’t, of course. Instead, “Chairman Fred Ridley” does the opening honours at his own annual eve-of-Masters press conference.
