CANNONBALLING INTO HISTORY

“I’M NOT SURE HOW MUCH MORE TV I WANT TO DO, BUT I CAME AWAY FROM AUGUSTA WANTING TO GET BETTER.”

WHERE DREAMS ARE MADE … AND BROKEN • Don’t be fooled by Pinehurst No.2’s second-best moniker. The notorious layout is a world-leader in stretching players to their breaking point, as it will again this month when it hosts the U.S Open for the first time in a decade.

ON THE PROWL • Aussie Hannah Green is planning on going big for the remainder of 2024.

MORNINGTON PENINSULA RICHES

STRIKING GOLD • Victoria’s Goldfields region is much more than your Australian history school textbooks coming to life. For those looking beyond gold-panning at theme parks and visiting goldrush landmarks, there’s a plethora of riches to be found on the district’s many golf courses.

HIGHLANDS SWING • The Southern Highlands region is the closest thing New South Wales has to the landscape of the Old Country, making it a very pretty spot for a hit. Pair it with a top links course next door at Shellharbour and you have yourself the bonniest mini-trip on the south side of Sydney.

FABULOUS Fancourt • South Africa’s Garden Route takes some topping as far as golf experiences go, offering stunning backdrops, unbeatable food and wine and Gary Player-designed layouts to boot.
