During our ‘The Thing About Golf’ podcast interview back in February, Mat Goggin said something which remains front of mind whenever the topic of the game’s image among the non-golf public comes up.

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.

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

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.

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.

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