The Path To Golfing Success

I published the 4th edition of the Automatic Golf Magazine this week on the Itunes network (Newsstand). I’ve also created a version for all those that don’t have an Ipad (see below). If you do have an Ipad be sure to check it out – at this stage,...

Golf Green Blues

Yesterday was going to be the day my putting green was going to come to life. And you’ll never guess what happened… … it rained. Again. The bloody rain is driving me crazy! I thought this was meant to be the Sunshine Coast? And today wasn’t...

The strangest golfer I’ve met

I promise there is a golf lesson at the end of all this – just hang in there please. David is the strangest (in want of a better word) golfer I have encountered in my time doing this golf thing. He has sent emails and left the odd comment on the blog, has also...

Rain rain stay away – the golf green update

Bruce and Adam are back today to have a second crack at my putting green. The weather is threatening and Adam thinks he is wasting his time – I think he might be right. Bruce is an optimist, and reckons we’ll be just fine. I hinted the other day that...
