MORRI: Slow play penalty impetus for introspection
The only interesting thing about slow play is the reaction of those who get penalised for it and what that tells us about ourselves.

Opinion: Golf and mental health
The benefits of golf on mental health have been espoused many times. Particularly over the previous 18 months.

Morri: Golf (not women’s or men’s) the winner
There is an assumption that events like the Vic Open and last weekend’s Scandinavian Mixed are predominantly focussed on raising the profile of women’s golf.
15 Jun 2021
Morri: Time, timing and tournament golf
It’s the stuff that mathematical analysis can’t account for in golf. That combination of time and timing, intangibles like momentum and the inability of the human brain to switch off.

Morri: Less leads to so much more
We weren’t privy to television coverage of the most remarkable result in golf this past weekend and one can’t help but wonder whether it may have been the most interesting to watch, also.

Morri: A radio revelation
She wasn’t talking about following golf from the other side of the world but Joni Mitchell had it right in the 60’s when she noted that ‘you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone’.

Morri: Ariya the toast of Thailand
Rory McIlroy’s drought breaking PGA Tour win in Charlotte will grab the bulk of the attention from the world of professional golf this week but it was half a world away where the better story unfolded.

Opinion: Independent contractors no more?
Just when many wondered whether the Premier Golf League was gone, the renamed Super Golf League and its Saudi Arabian financial support has jumped back into focus.

Morri: The rich get richer
There’s a saying in business that it is one’s competitors who actually determines one’s pricing. It’s quite a simple concept when you think about it and explains to some extent the announcement last week of the PGA Tour’s Player Impact Program.

Morri: Tough to even get to the top
The biggest change in professional golf over the past 40 years may not be in equipment but competitiveness.
19 Apr 2021
Opinion: A winning week for diversity
It is somewhat fitting that at a tournament and golf club not known for its diverse membership and inclusive policies for much of its history, that the diversity of golf took centre stage at the beginning and end of the Masters.

Morri: Augusta National changing the game once again
For all its ties to the past and the constant citing of tradition, there is one area where Augusta National is ushering in the future.

Opinion: Norman’s most significant major contribution
Tuesday this week marked a significant moment in Australian golf history, and one of the biggest personally.

Morri: Augusta National falls short with ANWA
Credit where it’s due, as the saying goes, so a teaspoon of credit to Augusta National amongst the bucket of criticism that is to follow.

Opinion: Tortoises should have to watch the hare
Those guilty of it often don’t even know they do it. The outraged often identify the wrong cause of the issue. And the ruling powers are yet to effectively combat it. The issue at hand is, of course, slow play.
31 Mar 2021
Opinion: Aussie golf gets it right again
Tournament golf in this country has not been short of critics in the past, primarily due to the shrinking men’s schedule. But recent years have seen this country innovate and evolve, with last week just the latest example.

Morri: Distance and golf’s footprint issue
The potential for changes to equipment will understandably grab the limelight in discussions about the Distance Insights Report but it is elsewhere within the study that the most important work is being done.

Morri: Spieth’s welcome return
The question is so compelling because it has no obvious answer: What is it that makes some players so much more ‘watchable’ than others?
