Aussie Golfer

Golf Comes in All Shapes and Sizes — Even in the Red Dirt of Broome Golf isn’t just for the pros — it’s a game that thrives in backyards, bushland, and anywhere people find joy in swinging a club. When we think of golf, it’s easy to picture pristine fairways, pro tournaments, and high-tech gear. But sometimes, the most joyful forms of golf are found far from the spotlight — like in the backyard of Fraser and Shirley Burns in Broome, WA that has been featured on the ABC News website. The couple, aged 92 and 86, have built a nine-hole par-three course on their five-hectare property, complete with mango trees, boabs, and a poolside “clubhouse.”

The 3-Iron Might Be Dead – Here’s What MyGolfSpy Found The 3-iron has long been a symbol of golfing grit—but new data suggests it might be more myth than magic. We wanted to share a compelling article from MyGolfSpy that dives into the decline of the 3-iron in modern golf. According to their data: Only 5–11% of golfers still carry a 3-iron. It’s less accurate and shorter than most alternatives. Using it off the tee offers no scoring advantage—and often leads to worse outcomes. MyGolfSpy suggests the 3-iron’s continued presence is more about nostalgia than performance. With hybrids and fairway woods outperforming it across the board, it might be time to let go.

Golf Shot of the Week? Try One with an Alligator Nearby Vince Whaley found himself in the water at the Sanderson Farms—and not alone, with an alligator keeping watch as he pulled off one of the shots of the week. American Vince Whaley gave golf fans a moment to remember at the PGA Tour's Sanderson Farms Championship in Mississippi when he waded into ankle-deep water to play a shot—while an alligator floated just metres away. It happened on the par-5 11th hole, where Whaley’s ball had found the edge of the lake.

Europe Holds Off U.S. Surge to Win Ryder Cup Amid Chaos at Bethpage Europe claimed a tense Ryder Cup victory at Bethpage, surviving a furious U.S. comeback and a week overshadowed by shocking fan behaviour. Team Europe etched its name into Ryder Cup history with a 15–13 victory at Bethpage Black, securing their first win on American soil since 2012. Luke Donald’s squad dominated the opening two days, storming to an 11.5–4.5 lead thanks to clinical foursomes play and clutch putting performances from stalwarts like Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose. That cushion proved decisive, but the road to glory was anything but smooth, marred by ugly crowd behavior and a furious American fightback that nearly produced the greatest comeback in Ryder Cup history.

More Light, More Golf? A Case for Daylight Saving in Queensland Daylight Saving Time might be off the political agenda in Queensland, but for the golf industry, it could be a hole-in-one. Mike Orloff has penned a compelling opinion piece over at Golf Industry Central that shines a light on a long-standing debate: should Queensland adopt Daylight Saving Time (DST)? And more specifically, would it be good for golf? From a golf perspective, the answer seems like a no-brainer. Orloff argues that the extra daylight could be a game-changer for participation and revenue, especially for clubs in South East Queensland. Drawing on international examples and personal experience, he makes a strong case that more sunlight equals more swings—and more dollars.
