Australian Golf Passport Scott Warren & Matthew Mollica

Steve Keipert, editor of Australian Golf Digest joins us to chat about the magazine's latest rankings edition - with the Top 100 list of Australian courses controversially featuring a new #1. Cape Wickham sits atop the rankings for the first time.



Steve goes through the nitty gritty of the process, and talks all things rankings, course architecture, and Aussie golf in a stimulating discussion. We're really appreciative of his time and insight, and hope you enjoy this episode.

Ever wondered what pure euphoria sounds like?

Matt phoned in fresh from 12 hours walking the grounds of Augusta National to debrief on his day at The Masters.

Just a quick episode, with regular programming to resume once Matty is back from his travels.

Shoutout Burnley, shoutout Angus & Grace.

Lukas Michel joins the pod for a second time to chat about playing in the 2020 Masters Tournament: what he learned about the course; favourite shots, holes and greens; playing practice rounds with OWGR Top 10 studs; social distancing in The Crow's Nest, why food at The Masters tastes better & more.



We also discuss his amateur career, his internal wrestle with the decision to ultimately not turn pro, his blossoming career as a golf course architect & how he keeps the game sharp now with a full-time job.



You could listen to Lukas read the phone book for four hours and not grow tired, but you'll have to make do with this 90 minutes of gold from one of our favourite people in Aussie golf.



Shoutout Angus & Grace. Shoutout Burnley.

A quick catch-up before Matt's departure for the US to attend the Masters and play some all-world golf courses.

We answer some listener questions, several with a Masters theme, go through some four-word course reviews of Aussie courses by American golf course architect Jaeger Kovich following his recent trip to the Sandbelt and chat a bit about what makes the Masters so special.

Four-word course reviews are back!

After an initial catch-up on some recent news in Aussie golf & the pursuit — not all of it successful — of their 2024 goals, Matt and Scott turn their attention to the 2024 Golf Australia Magazine course rankings.

They go course by course through the top 20 with four-word course reviews for each of them, as well as some general discussion to begin of the noticible trends around courses moving up and down the board.
