The new 11th and 18th tees at Kingston Heath (playing as 7 and 14 in AO routing). 11 back 50 metres (playing across 10). 18 back 30 . Doesn't feel right. Keep those heads buried nice and deep, @USGA & @RandA. 🤦

Beyond brilliant. Amazing young lad. Couldn't be more excited, as I'm sure is @bombermurray11.

Great test incoming for the "Red sky at night" saying. Sky was ablaze tonight. Weather mob (BoM) has suggested we get to work building an ark.

One man's trash is another man who happened to be walking his dog and see something interesting's treasure. 52o,56o Bridgestone West Coast wedges plus bonus bag. Little wins.

Is this the equivalent of being dropped by the Bombers, or worse?

This rollback thing is really starting to catch on. #rollbacktheballer

Whipped off to the driving range tonight to work on my next 3 theories. Tech was out of order. So nice to be old school again and actually watch the ball land. Ball don't lie moments (assuming it has dimples).

Yesterday, McNealy had teed off before putting out on the previous hole, and today, he's walking to his next shot before hitting his previous one. The guy's a genius.

Loving watching the RT couch flourishing in these warm conditions. Should be fully grassed by Spring (pending echidnas, wombats, and snow). #royaltoolangicountryclub

McNealy played so quickly in round 2 he was teeing off on 6 while still finishing the 5th. Impressive.

Garrick Higgo arguing his tee time. Well worth 4 minutes of your life. dailymotion.com/video/x990gw…

Give these guys a choice: you can hit it 350 but we'll have the greens at 15, or we wind you back 20% and you can have them at 11. You can't have both. Choose.

Watching Live from again - I'm loving @mcginleygolf more and more. He's calling bullshit on this cash/sepo-focused (professional) sport. Even @eamonlynch won me back with his commentary around PGA hierarchy entitlement (thought he was talking about Oz for a while). Outstanding.

Time to bring back exhibition golf. 9 holes. Test the skills and talk us through the method. Entertain us. Teach us. Connect with us. 'A @rippergc_ Day Out' this summer in Oz. 4 lads. One round at each home course. Mic'd up. Q & A afterwards. Clinic. Proceeds to their charities.

Love catching up with "Live from" and listening to @mcginleygolf taking on Brandel around rollback. Can't argue with statistics, although Chamblee tried. Outstanding but frustrating viewing.

Ian Ellis aka Fairway Flashbacks is currently the biggest thief on golf social media. People like him are why a lot of the people that actually spend time and money digitising this old footage don’t do it as much now. All of the hundreds of posts he has made on Facebook and YouTube over the past few months are stolen from other accounts. I asked months ago in the comments for him to take them down as some of the more special ones not only have sentimental value as films that are one of one but also cost a lot of time and money to digitise. That he is now crediting my YouTube channel on X posts for films that he knows are on X is taking it to another level. I blocked him on here months ago when I saw the first large batch he had taken. At that time he would occasionally credit this X account. I haven’t blocked him on YouTube because on there he didn’t once credit any of my accounts and so I have been waiting months for a reply to the comments I left. Instead of replying he has in the last 48 hours stolen another large batch of my work from there. Imagine the mess golf social media would be in if everyone decided “oh I’ve got an idea, I’m going to pinch everything I like from everyone else and post it under my own name, brilliant”. There would be thousands and thousands of posts to trawl through and it would be more and more difficult to find anyone breaking new ground. There are a lot of these aggregators but thank you to everyone not doing that. There is one account here on X who steals very old vintage golf films from other platforms, mainly YouTube, and instead of crediting them puts his watermark over the top! A friend told me a while back that bigger accounts like KVV are actually supporting Ian Ellis by making a post about him being a great archivist. If that’s what it takes to get some recognition in this game then I shouldn’t have spent the hundreds of thousands of dollars and enormous amounts of time that I have sourcing this material and then taking it from the original reels through to digital. More efficient to just steal it. It would be much easier to cherry pick from everyone else. If you watch some of the videos Ian Ellis posts he has notifications popping up while he is screen recording from the other pages! The unfortunate thing is a lot of people are seeing these videos for the first time and don’t realise that more than 99% of the accounts are just on a merry go round of posting from others and justifying the theft by mentioning the account in the description. There is no actual permission having been granted and the viewer doesn’t open up the description and read it til the end anyway.

Let me tell you 'bout the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees.

Oh crap. Here we go again. #sharkweek2

Watching a replay (again) of the 2025 Australian Open. Nothing better than elite golf on an iconic golf course. Can't wait for @KingstonHeathGC.

Wowee. Now, imagine if @livgolf_league finds PE funding and keeps going. Joint field? 2 events, 1 course? Or a clear sign that LIV is done. Fascinating times.
