23.01.2022 THERE was only one place Queenslander Mary Hadden wanted to be on her 100th birthday - hitting the fairways at the Maroochy River Golf Club for her usual twice-weekly golf game. Mary, who reckons she still has a strong competitive streak, was surrounded by friends and fellow passionate golfers as she also marked 60 years of golf, a pastime she believes helped her reach her birthday milestone.

17.01.2022 IT was sad to hear of the passing of legendary actor and renowned passionate golfer Sean Connery at the age of 90 the other day. Connery was of course well known for his academy award winning acting career - including his seven James Bond films - but increasingly it was his love of golf that garnered so much attention. Since Connery passed away "peacefully in his sleep" in his home in the Bahamas the tributes have been copious. [ 256 more words ] https://australianseniorgolfer.com.au//vale-sean-connery-/

10.01.2022 By Larry Canning. We have this really good practice facility at Mt Broughton Golf Club which includes a ripper of a driving range. The customers have to come into the Pro-Shop to buy a basket of balls and I often ponder what is the motivation for their 35 or 70 ball size bucket of pellets. Is it so they can win the next monthly medal, or something far more complicated?... https://australianseniorgolfer.com.au//ever-wondered-what/
10.01.2022 IT'S a popular meme in golf - less effort, more power - but what's an easy way to practice that. In this new offering from Shawn Clement's Wisdom in Golf Lessons series the well-known online coach first references three-time major winner Payne Stewart who used to practice hitting his driver just 125 yards with a full swing. He then turns to Tiger Woods [... https://australianseniorgolfer.com.au//your-golf-driver-s/

A former winner of this event, Payne lifted the Senior Amateur trophy at nearby Bathurst Golf Club in 2017.

05.01.2022 FOR many the NSW/Victorian border has been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons in 2020 but for golfers and others in need of a joyous lift the five day 2021 Yarrawonga Charity Golf Classic based at the beautiful Yarrawonga Mulwala Golf Club Resort could be the perfect opportunity to turn that around.

05.01.2022 By Larry Canning I’ve just had one of those sad experiences where I was left on a barstool, having a schooner all by myself. I tried to look like I was busy on my phone and totally not there for the customary afternoon beer with a mate at the local. I ordered a second, thinking/hoping someone would come in and say, 'G’Day Lazz', while pondering whether I’d even offer the old mate in the singlet who often waddles in and preys on the friendless drinkers with the sole purpose of being offered a freebie.... https://australianseniorgolfer.com.au//larry-and-lappy-go/
02.01.2022 AFTER 52 years as a member of The Grange Golf Club in Adelaide local man Kevin Kerin realised it was time to give up golf.

02.01.2022 UK PGA 'Advanced Professional' Steve Johnston admits that being told not to turn your shoulders in the golf swing is not something you hear very often.

02.01.2022 WE’VE all had occasion to use them; the rickety old steel two wheel hire buggies that are ubiquitous at so many golf courses. You arrive at a course and because your own unit is out of action, you’re travelling, or any number of other reasons, you are forced to inquire about the hire buggies they have for use. All too often they point at a row of old steel units and sheepishly inform you it will cost, maybe, the princely sum of $5 for the honour.

01.01.2022 Andre Stolz has taken the title in his first major PGA Legends Tour event in his breakout year at the 2020 Australian PGA Senior Championship. Playing alongside fellow Aussie legends Peter Lonard and Peter O’Malley, the 50-year-old claimed victory with a three-round total of 9-under 201, four strokes ahead of Lonard in second place at 5-under par. A spectacular second round of 6-under 64 on Friday set up a smooth run home for Stolz in the final round, but the victory did not come without both challenges and excitement.
