Reflection
I‘m on holidays. I’ve taken a week off and I’m visiting Port Fairy. It’s time to do some reading, writing and get my mind off “real” work. Today I took a look at the Port Fairy golf course. It’s well worth a visit. It’s a true links course that will test any golfer – especially…
For the Tribers
I started a little website late last year called The Golf Tribe. The idea was for like minded golfers to share ideas, experience and their progress. There have been some passionate “Tribers” who have contributed on an almost daily basis. They’ve provided some great content and kept The Tribe moving along. I hope they’ll stick…
A Stupid Number
My handicap is now plus 3. It’s the lowest I’ve ever been able to get it – lower even when I was playing full-time and able to practise everyday. I’m pleased about this achievement but I’m not going to get carried away with it. Why? Because a handicap is just a stupid number. It’s only…

But I need your help. I need some testimonials. If you’ve enjoyed this website or have got anything out of my writings then please…
Lose Your Ego
Having trouble with your golf game? If you’re a bloke (that’s Aussie for male) then the chances are your ego is getting in the way. Your ego is a distraction and you should leave it in the car. Doing so will help you avoid these two common mistakes: Ignore good advice because you think you…
Some thoughts on The Masters
The Masters has been run and won. Once again it dished out some amazing drama and was compulsive viewing for us golfers. Here’s my take: Phil Mickelson made one mental error (his tee shot on 12) that probably cost him shooting one of the best ever rounds in major golf. It nearly seems unfair but…
