Lack of TV keeps me from watching it, unless I go to my parents' place to watch it. None of my friends who golf who live nearby have a TV either. But dad has a 42" HD. So, I guess I could watch, but it isn't that big a deal to me.

Did you see Robert Allenby's take on this? http://www.theage.com.au/articles/20...321769053.html

I think that the media is to blame for the fall of Australian golf. They don't advertise it enough of try to make it sound exiting. What Aussie golf needs is someone who is prepared to back it and put in a bit of money to the tournaments so that really good players will see that it is worth playing in.

What you need to realise is that in Australia we have a relatively small population for the physical size of our country and unfortunately golf is not at the top of the list for sponsors. The sponsors tend to throw their money at AFL and NRL (local football codes). The Aussie Masters is getting great TV coverage over here and the tournament is being played at an amazingly high level. With Badds, Appleby and Allenby all up there with the final round to come. If you can watch it, tune in and enjoy the scenery.

Maybe if some of you guys over there were to come out and try our courses you'd realise the quality of courses and golfers this country produces. And we always welcome fellow golfers with open arms

Sounds like channel 7 is second rate, but another great stepping stone for young Mr. Baddeley. I think Adam Scott better watch out or Badds may surpass him as best young Aussie.

Wow, dude, calm down. Punctuation is your friend. Complete sentences are also your friend. I understand that you are upset, but that was the most difficult to read and incoherent paragraph that I think I have ever read on the internet.

As Queensland doesn't have daylight saving we got to see the masters finish. It was great to watch and there was some great scrambling by Chopra for the first 3 holes and Baddeley on the final playoff hole. In Channel 7's defence, golf is not the most popular sport in the country and it was the first major news bulletin after the federal election results were finalised. I would have been upset with the decision as well but they did show a lot of hours of great coverage over the four days.

I actually think Australia golf is in a great state with more top quality players then I can remember. Sure, we don't have a Greg Norman but as Allenby said in his interview there is only 4 or 5 golfers in the last 50 years with as high a profile. Personally is doesn't bother me is most of Americans don't travel to Australia to play and I would rather the money go towards prize money and extra tournaments than appearance money for overrated players. (Obviously Tiger is not overrated but 4Million appearance money is a joke)

      Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.
