Ep69: Listener Qs (Hanse at Barny, Ranking the Royals, Sydney gems, $600 to spend on the Mornington, and more)

This latest edition of Australian Golf Passport podcast is an ever-popular Listener Questions episode. Thanks to all those who submitted via the Insta story call-out. Almost 5 dozen questions will form hours of discussion for this episode and the next! We got to 28 of them in this two-hour session.

Lots of great stuff to mull over ranging from turf, rankings, architecture, travel on a budget, new courses and those under renovation, Mornington Peninsula questions, stuff on King Island and Tasmania, as well as a few esoteric queries which are always great to get the juices flowing.

The text we mentioned in the episode – Golf’s Royal Clubs by Scott Macpherson is available from Fine Golf Books - link below.

As discussed in relation to tree removal and the upcoming US Open venue Oakmont - this article from Steve Keipert and Derek Duncan (as featured in Australian Golf Digest) is a great primer.
