Australian Open Preview


Well, it's a golf preview with a wine out the front. They are kind of related. I flew to the Hunter Valley to do a couple of interviews for The Pro Shop and stopped in at Shakey Tables for dinner, saw this on the list for a remarkably low price given the vintage and status of the wine and just had to try it.
It was a super wine. Still young and quite rich, but undeniably world class and drinking half a bottle really made the evening. Sadly, I wasted the other half on some old pro golf colleagues of mine the next night and was horrified by their indifference to its charms!
Anyway, there are couple of big weeks in the pipeline, starting with the Australian Open next week at NSWGC in Sydney. Then we fly up to Coolum for the PGA Championship to finish out the year. Shooting The Pro Shop in and around both events as well so we should be able to put together some good content over the next fortnight.
I'll update when I can during the events and will take a few pics around the place as well.
