Ended up joining. Went with Finau to start, looking good right now. Who'd you pick?

Superb conditions

Hopefully the greens bake out to create a serious challenge

Seems J Day is back in form

Guess some home cooking suits him

Is it just me or is this the worst golf commentary ever delivered?

Pat Welsh just makes mistake after mistake

It's embarrassing

It was tough listening to channel 7 this weekend

New appreciation for broadcasters this way

Win is a win is a win

Part of me wonders whether Spieth put in a respectable effort but did not want to win this week so that he doesn't feel obliged to come back next year (even though we would be spending our budget to get him out here).

Heard he did not come in as early as he would have due to a wedding--rounded into better form by Saturday/Sunday, which would have been first 2 rounds had he arrived as he usually does.

My understanding is also that his instructor is an Aussie--believe he was on the bag this week.

Seems to me his reasons for traveling also include personal so whilst I imagine he could always opt out, I think he will be back next year baring injury.

He will keep coming out as long as we keep spending $1.2M+ each time to bring him out.

The worst one was the presentation ceremony. Welsh presented Matias Sanchez with the winning amateur medal without announcing his name and then forgot to interview him.

Then after they interviewed Cam Davis they got Matias back up for a chat (presumably to kill time until the news) and again did not announce his full name.

It was Benny Hill quality stuff.

Australian PGA underwrites his travel?? Who is he bringing that costs 1.2 million?

Or is that his appearance fee??

That's his appearance fee mate. He's either getting $1.2M or $1.8M to come out here (depending to who you listen to). Being paid for by the NSW major events corporation.

A few other sweeteners thrown as well (eg 5 star suite at the Casino, spot in field for his mate Hickok etc).

So can I expect this treatment for Little AC at the Kids Australian Open in Sydney??

We can be bought for a lot less then 1.2 M

It's bloody exciting to see the back out there and playing some good golf as well.

While we're at it, hows Peter Senior coming out of retirement to shoot a 67 on day one of the aus pga then following it up with a 71 to be T10.
