• Bubba Watson

    Bubba Watson is known for doing things differently, like having a pink shaft in his driver, firing golf balls through water melons and being one quarter of the golf boy band “The Golf Boys.”

  • Golf Insurance Matters

    The latest article in our how to series turns the spotlight on some of the unexpected things that can happen at the driving range – from ricochets to self-inflicted injuries – and why it pays to be insured. With winter closing in and less daylight hours in which to hit the course the best place to keep swinging is at the driving range. The driving range is a great hangout for golfers of all skill levels and abilities. Given that your local driving range could be filled with hackers and heroes it’s not impossible that an innocent trip to whack some balls could end in disaster, injury or a sizeable legal bill.

  • La Reservae Golf Club, Costa Del Sol

    A new course designed by Cabell B. Robinson, La Reserva Club De Golf had only recently opened but I would never have guessed. On arrival it was obvious the course was in perfect condition. The opening hole at La Reserva is a straight par four with well designed bunkers and an attractive green – a good, if understated opener, but on the 2nd tee, however, the front nine opens up before you and you get an idea of the challenge that lies ahead. Set out in a small valley with wonderful changes in elevation, attractive contours and great scenery, the next eight holes weave back in forth in fantastic fashion.

  • Lie of the Land

    A caddie at The Old Course at St Andrews, Turnberry or Troon would tell you that it takes time to get to know the subtleties and nuances of links land and learn the bounce of the ball. Often slopes and natural features can funnel the ball towards the hole, squeeze extra yards from a drive or prevent a ball from going in a hazard.

  • Thorpenes Golf Club

    TA Hotel Collection, owners of Thorpeness Hotel and Golf Club in Suffolk, are seeking to attract more golf tourists to the county with the launch of a new trail combining real ale tours and classic seaside golf courses. Thorpeness Golf Club is already one of Southern England’s leading stay-and-play golf break destinations thanks to its 36-bedroom hotel, James Braid designed 18-hole course and location in the picture-perfect holiday village of Thorpeness; a Suffolk tourist hot-spot.

ACCOLADES KEEP COMING FOR SCOTT

Adam Scott’s breakthrough major success at the US Masters in April has secured the Queenslander yet another accolade, this time in his home state.

Scott last night took out the Courier-Mail Channel 7 Queensland Sport Star of the Year Award for 2013 at the 19th Annual Queensland Sport Awards / Hall of Fame Presentation in Brisbane.

A 700 strong black tie audience at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre heard the announcement of the popular Scott’s win at the end of a night which saw golf and cricket take out six of the 13 Awards presented for Queensland’s top on and off field sporting performances.

Golf also provided the Coca Cola Channel 7 Queensland Junior Sport Star Award winner in young Viraat Badhwar who at 17 was part of Queensland teams that won both the national men’s senior and junior championships.

Volunteer Alan Davies’ win in the Brisbane City Council sponsored Queensland Sport Volunteer of the Year category gave golf a treble on the night, a result matched in number by cricket which produced winners in former Queensland Bulls / Brisbane Heat coach Darren Lehmann (Queensland Government Queensland Sport Coach of the Year), the BBL title winning Brisbane Heat (the Bank of Queensland sponsored Queensland Sport Team of the Year), and the late Graham Dixon, the former Queensland Cricket CEO who passed away mid-year and was the recipient posthumously of a QSport Service to Sport Award.

The Queensland Sport Awards are conducted each year by QSport as the industry peak body of sport in Queensland which also coordinates the Queensland Sport Hall of Fame.

The award is one of many this year for Scott who in October was unanimously voted by the Sport Australia Hall of Fame (SAHOF) selection committee as the 2013 winner of The Don award, which celebrates the athlete whose achievements have most inspired the nation in the preceding 12 months.
