Morri: Trial by social media
Matt Kuchar.

Morri: Cash isn’t always king
The problem with the FedExCup isn’t that Rory McIlroy won $15 million. It’s that he won another $15 million.

Morri: Dear Gabi … I was wrong
The enduring memory of Gabi Ruffels’ historic US Women’s Amateur win will, for many, be the gutsy 7-iron approach and seemingly nerveless birdie putt at the 36th hole to seal victory.

The Thing About Golf Podcast #4 - Author, Paul Daley
Any golfer with an interest in golf course architecture is no doubt familiar with the name Paul Daley. For the past two decades, Paul has been publishing books about the sub-culture that is golf course design.

Morri: 2019 was full of major excitement
To all those who think golf is boring, consider this a big fat raspberry in your general direction.

Morri: More to majors than money
Is it or isn’t it? Since 2013 the LPGA says ‘yes’ but for many in the golf world the answer remains ‘no’ when it comes to the Evian Championship and its major status.

Morri: Where to from here?
It would be difficult to imagine a major season bookended by two more memorable results. Tiger at Augusta and Lowry at Portrush will forever be remembered as special moments in the game, even among the historic Grand Slam events.

Morri: Wunderkinds Beware
Golf, perhaps more than any other sport, likes to anoint its stars of the future early but it’s a dangerous practise which backfires more often than not. In truth, the list of ‘Can’t Miss Kids’ who have missed is a long one.
17 Jul 2019
Morri: Come and see the real thing
There was some remarkable golf played on the world’s Tours at the weekend. Jon Rahm’s charging finish to claim a second Irish Open title, the stunning play of rookie Matthew Wolff to win in Minnesota and the birdie fest that was the LPGA event in Wisconsin weren’t short on entertainment.
10 Jul 2019
Morri: Links golf … Now that’s entertainment
For many golf fans – this writer included – the next few weeks represent the best time of year to be a spectator of the professional game.
4 Jul 2019
Morri: Coverage Calamity
Here’s an unthinkable scenario. A young Australian player in just their second year on Tour holds the 54-hole lead at one of the game’s majors.

Morri: A major lesson
It’s often difficult to know what major championship golf teaches us – if anything – about the game.
20 Jun 2019
Morri: Not where but how you get there
In golf, no matter what level, there is no destination. The real game is the journey. Or more importantly, how the player deals with the good and bad along the way as opposed to where he or she finishes on the leaderboard.

Morri: When less could mean much more
Most language historians attribute the saying ‘less is more’ to Scottish poet Robert Browning – a fitting fact given the topic of today’s column.
29 May 2019
Morri: A tale of two majors
Like most golf fans, the bulk of my attention this past week was on only one of the two majors being played in the United States.
24 May 2019
Morri: Mind the gap
Not for the first time, there was controversy last week when former NFL player Tony Romo – by all accounts a more than capable amateur golfer – was given an invite to play the PGA Tour’s Byron Nelson tournament in Texas.
15 May 2019
Morri: Savour the shot, not the score
Australia has one of the best golf cultures in the world and, for the most part, an approach to the game that is the envy of many outside these shores.
8 May 2019
Morri: The Endless Summer
Golf shares similarities with lots of other sports but one of its great appeals is that it simultaneously manages to remain wholly unique.
1 May 2019
Morri: A new defence of public golf
In light of some unexpected feedback to a column on the closure of the council-owned Hudson Park golf course in Sydney last month, two interesting pieces of correspondence have emerged on this topic in the past two weeks.
26 Apr 2019
Morri: When the image of perfection is just a veneer
There was an awful lot to like about the inaugural Augusta National Women’s Amateur but that shouldn’t earn the world’s best-known golf club a free pass for what they got wrong.
10 Apr 2019
Morri: Kuchar right to play by the rules
The incident was bad enough but the response to it – much of it from people who should know better – was genuinely confronting.
