Crikey they love their golf in Victoria!
We recently stayed at the historic Victoria Golf Club in Cheltenham, Melbourne while shooting some Golf Getaway episodes. It’s a classic old golf club that is the birth place of many of our legends – including Peter Thomson and Geoff Ogilvy. Read More
Everyone tells you how much Victorians love their sport. I mean chances are even this year’s Boxing Day test against The Poms will be full. So I guess I shouldn’t have been that surprised when I went down to Mornington Peninsula with Mirror for some recent shows and found golf courses and golfers everywhere.. Read More
Mirror loves The Dunes but then he’s a Mornington Peninsula golf junkie. I have to admit though it’s very impressive right from the moment you pull into the car park. The club rooms are amazing with views everywhere. Although with the temperature around 6 degrees and the wind chill making it feel like minus 6 – I was tempted to stay inside by the fire. Read More
Gee you feel special when you play at Hamilton Island Golf Club. It starts early with the ferry over to Dent Island from Hamilton Island. The old sea dog of a skipper has a tale or two and he tries to get as many in as he can in the 10 minute trip. Read More
Recently Mirror and I were guests of Moonah Links on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. It’s a golf spot I hadn’t been to before but with its legendary status in Australian Golf I was sure it would deliver. Read More

Firstly The Hills in Queenstown, New Zealand is not cheap. At $500 for a round- it’s more than some people pay for a year of golf. And because ‘Mirror’ and ‘Fade’ were guests at this year’s NZPGA- we weren’t paying anyway. However, if I did have a lazy $500 and I was a golf tragic- I’d say it was well worth it.
