Love a random golf swing theory (and random theories in general). Curator - Royal Toolangi Country Club & Botanical Gardens.

Proof (biased opinion) that the @AusOpenGolf is a launchpad to great seasons. 6 of the 10 @DPWorldTour players getting @PGATOUR cards made the trip down under last year. More should follow. The Golf Gods like National Opens, especially ours.
From missing a five-footer in Abu Dhabi two years ago to being replaced by Anthony Kim and then winning a PGA Tour card, Laurie Canter’s story has been extraordinary. He struggled after his win earlier this year but credit to him for finishing so strong. https://t.co/XUKNJ2zkn3

I'm looking at this leaderboard wondering who it's missing that could improve it. Scottie? Rahm? Not many others. Awesome.

Appreciation post for my first set of clubs. Still got 'em. Given to me by the old man. But the real gift he gave me wasn't the clubs, it was the game. #gratefulforgolf

Love the commentary after this shot. Effectively, stop your sooking and deal with it. Golf is a game of skill. Learning new ones is part of the joy. Well done, @SkySportsGolf. Keep calling it as you see it.

Love matchplay golf. Format of 2 singles and a foursomes is a ripper. Just need to add Baronssomes.

Henry Hill famously said-ish: "If we can just make gambling a bigger thing in golf, we're set. A couple of bad swings, a few missed putts, who will ever know? They even let players pick where a ball crossed a hazard. It's a goldmine." #sportsbetting #rozier #NBA

2 years later, IBF is playing a 2-day Pro-Am at a public course in Melbourne, along with a future @TheOpen runner-up and a few other European Tour winners. Public golf counts, @bunkeredgolf. #publicgolfcounts

Quick game of SHARK tonight with the lad. He had me covered with speed and distance, not a surprise, so I defaulted to 100 and in. Another win for the old bloke. In other news, it seems I've already rolled it back. 😭

If dropping on the side of a hill, do you have to allow for slope? Is that why rangefinders have that feature? Terrible rule.
The knee-height drop is the dumbest rule in golf, and by some distance. Particularly hard when you're 7 feet tall. Apologies they put you through this, @haydnbarron.

Every summer they drop in alignment rods behind the local golf net. Every winter they take them out again. Go figure. 🤪

Melbourne crowds have a lot in common with those in New York. This is the sort of despicable behaviour Tiger had to put up with at the Presidents Cup in 2019. #shottiger

Rumour has it that Luke Donald took his team to Sandy driving range to prepare for the @rydercup - a million different experts with millions of tips, all talking at once. If you can block that noise out, crowds present zero challenges. Alas, I couldn't. 😭

Here comes the couch, doo-d-doo-doo. Big summer ahead at Royal Toolangi.

We hear this too often: "I've given up golf—losing my vision makes finding balls tough, and I don't want to burden partners." It's a sad reason to quit, especially when golf's benefits are needed most. We're addressing it: Assembling a diverse panel to discuss vision challenges

I love this suggestion. Let's have a Battle Royale on 18. Fight to the death. Only the strong, the quick, or those really good at hiding, survive. Unless it's an American who gets injured. Ridiculous.
It’s a bummer Hovland is hurt and can’t play but it should be an automatic point to the other team. Getting a half point is crazy!

These collars are a disaster for @RyderCupEurope. Someone at Loro Piana is in for a bad day at work on Monday. #bigissue #collargate

Must be easy to get @rydercup credentials. Almost as many inside the ropes as there are outside. Congratulations on the achievement but get out of the bloody way.

Seems the biggest weakness on the @RyderCupEurope team was the collars on their polos, unless the curl was a design feature - aerodynamics and all that jazz.
