Episode Thirty Six - 'Tis the season, Let's Get Blind!

Christmas is nearly upon us, so we decided to get into the festive spirit.  A busy last few weeks on the domestic golf
scene sees a full news chat at the start of the episode. Australian Open wrap, Sandbelt Invitational nearing the finish, Scott claims the Cathedral Invitational, JDay and LKo win the mixed pairs PGA / LPGA Tour event, and ball rollback in the years ahead.  Rahm to LIV which means he’s at Grange next year too.
 
But all that gives way to getting blind. Limited visibility – no visibility, drives, second shots, or approaches into greens. We discuss the best and favourite examples of blind holes in Australia. Drawing from a few reference materials (links below for those who want to buy copies of them) – we cover some of the best blind shots in the land.  Hopefully a few listeners also hit us up with suggestions of their own.
 
While urging all Australian Golf Passport listener to drink responsibly, especially at this time of year – we have a Bunley Brewing Giveaway to coincide with this episode.  We drop the names of lots of different golf architects in this edition of the pod.  Keep an eye out for the competition details on Instagram – reply to our post with the names of any four of the golf architects mentioned in this episode, and you’re in the draw to win some beers from Burnley Brewing! Good luck!
