Morri: What would Thommo think?
It can often be instructive when thinking about big issues facing the game today to wonder what the late, great Peter Thomson might have made of it all.

Morri: Spaun’s untucked shirt reveals golf’s dumb side
It passes for ‘news’ when it shouldn’t but the great ‘untucked shirt debate’ of the weekend at Kapalua points to a much bigger discussion golf needs to be having.

Morri: Game for the ages
It’s something we too often take for granted but the ability to play golf into later years – even at a high level – is one of the game’s greatest appeals.

Morri: Distance debate back on the horizon
One thing the arrival of LIV Golf has achieved has been to shift focus away from the otherwise perennially simmering distance discussion.

Morri: Time to be proactive to protect our pastime
While I haven’t read it I’ve always been intrigued by the title of the book ‘Amusing Ourselves To Death’.

Morri: The parallels of dog ownership and golf
There are only two types of people in this world: golfers and non-golfers.

Morri: Imagination the key to golf’s image problem
The ‘I’s’ have it. Image and imagination, opposite sides of the same coin that contain both the problem and solution for golf.

Opinion: Cam’s chance to genuinely ‘grow the game’
It’s the most tired phrase in world golf. And so many of those telling us that they are “growing the game” have no intention to do so, or know what it looks like.

Morri: Two reminders of golf’s best 76 years apart
Forget Tiger and Rory and their new digital venture and Norman and Phil and their Saudi backed LIV Tour.

Morri: A reminder of professional golf’s place
It’s easy to get distracted by professional golf, particularly those of us who work in the industry (and especially the media).

Morri: Australian Open decision combines our best assets
There will be those not in favour, but I say Golf Australia are to be applauded for last week’s announcement that the 2022 Australia Opens will adopt the Vic Open model of the past decade.
2 May 2022
Morri: Less for pros, more for the rest of us
Less distance for pros and elite amateurs but more for those who need it. That looks to be the trade off the R&A and USGA are seeking as they inch ever closer to a roll back of distance at the top levels of the game.

Huggan: Sawgrass’ finish doesn’t live up to the hype
This is difficult for me. As someone who leans left politically – here a good fit for anyone who deals with professional golfers as much as I do – this is a tough thing to admit.

Morri: The Players Series reinforces value of public golf
What did the rain shortened TPS at Bonne Doon at the weekend have to do with making the case for funding public golf?

Morri: Enjoy it or not, Phoenix isn’t attracting new golfers
There’s much I don’t like about the Phoenix Open and its 16th hole but I am aware those misgivings are personal bias and hold no more weight than those who subscribe to the opposing view.

Morri: All slow play not created (or treated) equal
Golf is the most infuriating of games but golf commentary (of the social media variety, not the TV kind) trumps it.
31 Jan 2022
Morri: Time for a tee change
The year might be new but the arguments in golf are old and one of the most archaic raised its ugly head before 2022 was even 48 hours old.

Opinion: Sandbelt Invitational spectacular, just don’t say the ‘P’ word
There is no such thing as perfect in golf. It simply doesn’t exist.

Morri: Tiger’s return reminds us of his departure
One of the first things you learn as a cadet reporter is there are only six questions which make a story newsworthy: it is either the who, what, when, where, how or why of any given event.
