Episode Thirty - Sandbelt Scandal & National Nonsense

With a flurry of activity on the local golf scene, and one great question accidentally omitted from the recent mailbag episode, we call an emergency pod, and spend longer than we thought we would discussing the events of the week. First up is the topic that has been running hot on the local rumor mill - the alleged misappropriation of funds and assets from a prominent Victorian golf club.  Scott reached out to Victoria Police and the Australian PGA, and legal issues permitting, we share what we are able on this front.   The impending tweaks to three of the back nine holes on Port Fairy are discussed, pursuant to a recent Victorian state government finding regarding the Club’s boundary.   The National’s insta poll on their ‘Dream 18’ is fodder for Scott, who comes in off the long run over the selection of Old’s 3rd hole above those from Gunnamatta and Moonah.  This leads into a broader discussion of Old and the other selections on the fantasy layout.   Lastly – we spend a good chunk of time addressing Shane Derby’s question on the best short 3s, short 4s and short 5s in Australia.  Sure to provoke some strong listener reaction, Scot & Matt make their nominations, and hopefully haven’t made any glaring omissions!   Reminder about Lloyd Cole’s upcoming performances in Australia – https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/lloyd-cole-tickets/artist/734789   Shane Derby’s Firm & Fast Golf Podcast – https://firmandfastgolfpodcast.fireside.fm   Images related to this episode can be found on our Instagram page (@AustralianGolfPassport) and on Twitter (@AusGolfPassport).
