Tambourine Mountain Golf Club is 30 minutes from the Golden Coast but feels another world away. Up on the Scenic Rim, it's a 9 hole course that rises and falls with the land and is pretty special - in fact, for a while, theirs was the best 2nd hole in the country. Gerry Maloney's the President, a storyteller with a terrific story to tell... one of golf and enlightenment but maybe not the two together.DIVOT YOUTUBE @Divot_au

@Divot_auPhillip Island is famous for penguins and The MotoGP, and maybe one day for their golf course. A quirky two paddock test for members and guests and most definitely worth a visit...

@Divot_auPambula Merimbula is a 27 hole golfing paradise fighting back from some pretty tough times... The news for golfers is good - the course is great and it's run by Glenn Warne who's a treasure.Here's the link for DIVOT on youtube... or search Golf Divot The Vintage.https://youtu.be/eTzvVztVwA8?si=5uchkFrJkgsX2GUo

Andrew Thompson is the captain of Narooma Golf Club - you'd expect him to speak glowingly of his home course. What you might not expect is that he's right. This is paradise on the cliffs above the Pacific Ocean... and it's there for all of us.

Val MacMahon is the former owner of my brand new to me Mexican Leather golf bag. At 96 she's just given the game away... though I'd bet she's got a few good swings left in her, she's saving herself for bowls and cards. This is a life in golf, and you'll love her.

Vince Owen is the Head Professional at Horizons Golf Club in Port Stephens, NSW. He's a gem. A teacher with an old fashioned nod to teaching in a world that's increasingly about numbers and stats. And, he tells a great story - about himself, his life in golf and Horizons Golf Club.

Scott Hend has played and won all over the world. Now 50, armed with a seniors ticket (and win this year) he's as driven as ever. And funny. A really lovely catch up with one of Australia's best.

Ken Dukes is a golf pro with a fabulous history - including 19 Pro Am Wins, but he says no tournament wins... Great insight and knowledge and another Australian Golfing treasure.

Wyong Golf Club turns 100 this year. John Elder's been playing there for more than 60 years, he's a treasure, and he knows golf. There's lots to learn and even more to enjoy from a man with almost 80 years in the game.
