First Golf Game Of 2013 – Castlecove Golf Club, Sydney, Australia
It has come somewhat a tradition in recent years to play a game of golf on New Year’s Day – January 1st.

I teed-up in the New Year’s Day stableford competition and duly started the New Year with a birdie – four points thank you very much.
However the downside of commencing a round of golf on the very first ...
Christmas Meeting Of The Willoughby Laurels Social Golf Club.
It began in March 1979 when ‘The Four Founding Fathers’ managed to find their way south of Sydney to rural Bowral for a weekend of fun, frivolity and much drinking.
Somehow or another the four aslo found their way to ‘Royal’ Bowral Golf Club for a game of golf.

World Parachuting Championship, Dubai.
World Parachuting Championship I hear you saying?
Yes, this is a dedicated golf website but often in the course of reporting on the European and PGA Tour we come across items of interest.
Already this year we’ve brought you pics of Janis Joplin’s childhood home, the gravesite of the Big Boppa and, what we feel, is other interesting scenarios we come in contact with during the course of a season.
Such was the case in the days following the DP World Tour Championship because no sooner had ...
Full Moon Over Dubai.
It was good to be spend a few days winding down following the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, Dubai.

It was with great delight ahead of the recent DP World Tour Championship I joined a Dutch couple playing on the Faldo Course at the Emirates Club in Dubai.
