Australian Golf Passport

This is an Australian golf podcast about Australian golf courses, taking listeners on a dream lap of every golf course worth considering for a Down Under bucket list golf visit. We answer the questions that will help you make your dream Aussie golf trip a reality. No Fedex Cup updates, no equipment reviews, no technology debate, no betting-agency-sponsored tipping segment: Just the how, what, when and where of playing great golf in Australia, with the occasional sacred cow sacrificed in the name of frank discussion, and lessons from the mistakes we made along the way, so you don’t have to.

Great podcast

This is the only golf podcast I listen to as it’s highly informative about Australian golf courses which is always a great topic. It also takes me back to so many great memories about my trip down under a decade ago. Well done, Matty and Scotty. Keep it up…. JB from Ohio
