Lakes Entrance Golf Club is a rare delight... A tough test of anyone's golf game on something of a sleeper - but it's only a sleeper because not enough people know about it. The greens are great, the wind howls, the water's in play and the test is true. As you'll hopefully experience, you can pretty much have it to yourself. The Captain and the President love the place, and reckon you will, too.

Bright Golf Club is a beauty. Set in a picturesque valley and running along the Ovens River, it's beautiful. Cam Wicks has had a lot do with that, he's been the course super for a long time, and it's easy to see why he loves the place. John Ruddock's a newcomer, but he moved to Bright for the golf course - has there been a better endorsement? Together, they tell a bit of the Bright story, and some of their own, as well.

Seed Golf Balls. Heard of them? You will. The company started in 2017 with the pretty simple idea of providing golf balls directly to the consumer, and ensuring they're comparable with the best golf balls you can buy- at a better price. A big vision from founder Dean Klatt that started in Ireland and is making its way around the world. With a long history in golf and golf equipment, Dean talks about what it takes to start a DTC company and a whole lot more.

It turns out Paul Gumbleton is 'an ideas man.' With the guiding hand of Craig Parry, the belief of new owner Curt Zuber and the help of longtime assistant at Kingston Heath Bob Simmons, Paul has built the best nine holes in Australia, just west of Ballina. Fun, funky, beautiful, and more. Tevan's is a great story, told well by Paul.

Tocumwal Golf Club is on the Murray River and is part of a golf trip you might think about creating for you and your friends. Two beautifully conditioned courses with sensational greens, and good things are happening. Paul Gemmill is the CEO and he's pretty excited about the future of Tocumwal. For the record, I'm excited about the courses!!!

Tony Fehon was the CEO of Medallist, living the residential golfing life building courses and community with Greg Norman. It's a hell of a story, and he had a hell of a time turning what was often not much into something quite spectacular, and he did it around the world. Some fabulous insights and even a few name drops, including Mr Packer.

How do you move to some of the best waves north of Sydney and forsake surfing for golf? Glen Leahy knows. He's a cameraman and cutter who's keen to show golf for what it is - he's my partner in Divot and he's a gem.
