Played Waratah yesterday for the first time great course but had been cored over the weekend so the final score is not really my fault am I right??? The good - course management, played to my strong clubs and left my self plenty of room. Honourable mention to a dod on 8 that hit the green after the tee shot came out lower than lil jon The bad - club choice around the green, to lazy to walk back to my bag for another club and payed the price a few times. The Donny - expecting to putt well on cored greens, lead to bit of head noise after a few bouncy missed putts. Should have just put it on the shelf and focused on the good. All in all had a great time with another random group, shout out to Frank the tank who was a fellow dod enthusiast.

If this isn’t one of the best finishing holes in Australia, I’ll eat my shorts. Par 5. Hard dogleg right. Beach waiting for anything too far right. And if you get a good one away, there’s the tempting option of having a crack in two. I’ve just dropped the full Unhack This Hole breaking down the options and showing how I played it. Have a watch, then I want to hear from the crew: Are you laying up, or having a crack at the green in two? 👇

What a weekend! On Saturday I played a 2-man Ambrose with one of our members, @Jamie Stevenson (aka Ski Dog). It was an absolute pleasure teeing it up together. I'm honoured to have the bloke tattooed on my leg, and it turns out we make a pretty handy Ambrose team too! It was a bit of a rollercoaster. We both completely lost our swings for a few holes on the front nine, but managed to steady the ship coming home. We finished with an 8-over, which was 2 under our combined handicap, so overall we're pretty happy with that. Our friends Jon and Matt we played with were unbelievable to watch as well. They pulled off some seriously creative shots that would be at home on the tour. On Sunday I snuck out for a few more holes. Weather has been epic here. It doesn't even feel like winter. Shorts, T-shirt and golf... I'll take that every day of the week. A couple of reminders: - ⛳ There's still time to post your scores for the Lag Putt Challenge. - 🎯 August's challenge is a Chipping Challenge, so start brushing up now. A huge congratulations to @Cody Dixon on a career-best round. Cody's score came from playing smart, sticking to the plan and avoiding the hero shots. The system works, mate. Couldn't be prouder of you, brother! This week's content is all about putting pace control - something you can practise from the comfort of your own home. Just don't be like Donny... no full swings indoors! And this week's Unhack This Hole features what might just be the shortest par 5 in Australia. It looks easy on the scorecard... don't let it fool you. It's an absolute doozy. Have a fantastic week everyone. Hit 'em straight!

This is where we share the real stories from our rounds. Not just the perfect shots. The good ones. The bad ones. And the absolute Donny moments. After your round, drop a quick post using this format: THE GOOD What went well? Best shot, smart decision, good score, solid recovery or something you’re proud of. THE BAD What cost you shots? Three-putts, short game chaos, penalties, poor targets, lost balls or general golf pain. THE DONNY What was the decision or shot that seemed like a good idea for about three seconds? Example: THE GOOD Hit 7 greens and finally stopped aiming at every flag. THE BAD Three-putted twice from nowhere. THE DONNY Tried to hit a 4-iron through a gap that only existed in my imagination. This thread is for laughs, learning and helping each other avoid the same disasters next time. The best stories may end up on the Board of Honour, including the famous Donny Award. Fairways are optional. Smart decisions are not.

This week we're taking on one of Narooma's sneaky little par 3s. At 153m (167 yards) it doesn't look intimidating... until you start looking at the misses. 🌲 Left? Jail. 🌲 Right? More jail. ⬆️ Long? A nasty uphill recovery from a steep bank. 🏌️ Short right? That's the one miss I actually don't mind. There's a bank that can kick the ball onto the green if you use it properly. My play 👇 I took 6 iron, aimed at the right bunker and tried to turn a little draw back into the middle. It landed almost pin high... but the green spat it out, leaving me with a 60-foot putt. Fortunately, the lag putt was good enough to leave myself one of those short putts that looks easy... until you realise it's got just enough break to ruin your day. 😅 Made it. Walked away with par. Your turn... ⛳ What club are you hitting? 🎯 Where are you aiming? 🤔 Are you using the front bank or flying it all the way to the flag? 🏆 What's your favourite miss? Drop your strategy below before you watch the video - I want to see how everyone would UNHACK THIS HOLE.
