PGA of Australia Centenary Launch, Sydney

Tuesday morning saw nearly 70 corporate and media guests arrive at The Mint in Sydney for the media launch of the PGA of Australia's Centenary year celebrations, hosted by myself.

The highlight of the day was definitely the opportunity to hear from both Peter Thomson and Kel Nagle, both in the Golf Hall of Fame and two of the greatest golfers ever produced by Australia.

Interviewing them was a special privilege. Who knows when, or if, we'll ever have them in the same room together again. Nagle's clarity of mind in recalling his greatest moments in the sport is as lucid as a teenager's. His is a remarkable record, including 61 victories on the PGA Tour of Australia and the memorable win in the Open Championship of 1960.

The PGA should be congratulated on a superbly run event. It is a harbinger of great things to come for 2011, one of the most important years in Australian tournament golf for a long time.

In Bed with Stolzy

I've been doing a range of interviews this week with players about their "Tools of the Trade", and caught up with Andre Stolz in his hotel room during one of the rain delays on Thursday.

Dirty Feed ??

You have to love some of the terminology in TV. "Dirty Feed" refers to the pictures we get from the host broadcaster (SBS) in Korea, which the One Asia production crew then repackage for the world feed which goes out to close to 300 million viewers.

This picture is inside the production office, just before going on air. Sound engineer booth closest to camera, video editing next, and then director/producer, director's assistant and vision mixer at the far end.

One Asia- Charity High 1 Open 2011

Currently up in the mountains of Korea at the spectacular High 1 Resort. Skiing in Winter, golfing in Summer, but sadly so far this week it has been decidedly more winter than summer. Heavy rain and low cloud has meant serious delays, four hours on Thursday afternoon and 4 hours this morning. We'll struggle to get 72 holes in this week, which puts first round leader Lee Min-Chang in the box seat after his opening 64 (8 under)

As you can see it is still grey and overcast, but play is underway now, 11am Friday.

Picture of the 18th green almost shows just how low the cloud is at the moment.
