Morri: A reality check for the ‘relatable’ crowd
Fellas, stop kidding yourselves. The game played by golf’s best women is not, and never will be, ‘relatable’ to us male club golfers.

Morri: Rules are rules
No other sport does a rules snafu quite like golf, as evidenced by the ‘debacle du jour’ from the Solheim Cup this past week.

It’s an almost never ending quest among industry types to look to other sports for ways to ‘fix’ golf.
16 Aug 2021
Morri: The Gap
The gap between the elite and recreational player has never been wider yet golf retains its unique ability to both elevate the duffer and humiliate the champion in almost equal measure.

Morri: Olympic format fit for purpose
Winston Churchill once famously described democracy as ‘the worst form of government except for all the others’. 72-hole strokeplay at the Olympics might fall into the same category.

Morri: Paying due to the supporting cast
The harsh reality is we will have forgotten them a year from now but the role of the supporting cast should not be overlooked at the game’s most important tournaments.

16 Jun 2021
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.
