Finally! An Aussie has won the US Masters. It was a monumental battle that took a few twists and turns but Adam Scott prevailed in the end. It took two great putts: one to get into the clubhouse at 9 under and then another on the tricky 10th green (the second playoff hole) for birdie…
Tianlang Guan copped a penalty for slow play on Friday afternoon. And so he should have. Slow play is a blight on the game and the sooner the game’s hierarchy stamp it out the better. It was unfortunate for the 14 year-old to be on the receiving end, but just maybe his penalty will highlight…

Had all sorts of trouble getting decent Internet connection here on the Sunshine Coast. Was told we could get it. Told we couldn’t get it. Told wireless would work. Wireless didn’t work very well. Round and round we go. Found out this is life on the Sunshine Coast, things are a bit slow here and…
