A safe space for golf fiends.

Some words. I don't imagine anyone really cares but it saves the "what happened to your golf videos?" questions...

Anyway thank you for following! Until next time 🫡

Ok you’ve been coming at me on the story about this so here’s my thoughts…

I’ve been rawdoggjng my clubs (no travel cover, just rain cover) forever. Never once have I had a broken club. Actual. The secret to a successful raw dog golf travel experience…

👉 Stuff a towel in the rain cover. This is also a good spot for a second pair of shoes.

👉 Don’t worry about the umbrella. Strap it in and wish it the best. It’s all part of the fun.

👉 Put the range finder in a pocket but write your name and phone number on it. Long shot but why not??!!

👉 Get a fragile sticker. Probably does nothing but it makes you feel better.

👉 If they break remember inform the airline that you had the latest custom fit blades with forged wedges, Tour AD shafts in your woods and a brand new bespoke L.A.B putter all wrapped up in premium leather staff bag. Oh and your shoes are also broken. Both pairs.

Happy rawdogging you fiends. Good luck out there.

To celebrate my daughters first birthday we did what any good father would do and snuck out for a cheeky nine in the glorious autumn sunshine. Here is what we learnt...

👉 It's bloody tough to post a good number when she screams on your downswing.

👉 Her green reading is abysmal.

👉 Don't leave your vodkas in the cart because she'll tip them out.

👉 Pace of play is an issue.

👉 Her yardages need work.

All in all we learnt a lot out there and we're looking forward to putting in the work to tidy up the rough edges.

Happy Birthday Evie, you're an absolute queen! I hope you enjoyed those three birdies in a row on 3, 4 and 5. I’m sure you did.

Ok here it is...

I've currently got my pig hooves in the air trying to relax as old dad dad here has a bad case of hand, foot and mouth. Classic dad vibes. Anyway, the day before I started falling a part physically (and emotionally) I managed to sneak out for an early round of golf back where it all started at eight years old. Walton Golf Club.

Left: My brother Richard. He's a former Tour Pro and annoyingly he is better than me. I have beat him a couple of times but f*** it's rare.

Middle: Pam (Mum, nickname "Ra"). She's been as low as a 2 handicap and is currently the greenkeeper at this course!

Me: Looking good in my new s**t. Chur Under Armour.

Anyway. It's never just a fun round. There is tension in the air whenever we play. It was neck and neck after 15 holes but sadly I three-whacked the 16th and bogeyed 18 to lose to Richard yet again. Me, 74, him 72. Absolute s**t. However, after that loss I thought...

A) We should probably do an actual match at Walton and throw it on YouTube.

B) Playing here is like going back through a photo album. Literally years of our lives were spent here. What a place! I found an old photo of us in 90s as well. Cool eh? In that photo we're standing in the same place just from a different angle.

Don't get me wrong playing at the top courses is amazing but honestly if I had one more round in the tank before kicking the bucket I would come back here and have a hate fuelled match with family. That is what it's all about for me.

Side note, the other brother is Paul. He's also hits bombs. But he lives in Aus.

As you were 🫡

Ya bois first gym sesh with the new gym kit 💪

I have looked like utter s**t in the gym for years and thankfully Under Armour sent me this fresh gear and saved me from looking like a complete failure as a person.

The tops and shorts are legit but the big win is the shoes. So many training shoes are high at the back and I have always hated them. I want flat shoes bitch!!! Don’t believe me? I occasionally wear toe-shoes because I hate high backs so much. What more proof do you need???

So in short, a big chur to UA for upping my game 🫡

Note: Is this an ad? I guess so but they never said I had to post anything like this. So shush 😂

Te Arai genuinely makes me proud to be a New Zealander.

It’s not just the quality of the golf course that does it for me either. It’s the fact you can have an unbelievably premium experience all the while having no sense of being unwelcome. Al Brown - the great Kiwi restaurateur - famously said “nobody does informality better than New Zealanders”. Te Arai is the embodiment of that. I mean f**k. I turned up in sandals and no collar with my baby daughter giggling and s**tting and no one blinked an eye.

Bless you Te Arai. Even the most cynical would have to concede to your greatness! 👌

“I’ve got to play golf for work next week and I’ve never played before. What should I do?”

I get DMs asking questions like this all the time. This was my response! 😅

Correct or way off?
