(Story by Megan Symington. Photos: Supplied) We’d ‘arrived’ before we even left; as I approached the Aircalin counter at Sydney Airport, and was greeted with a friendly, smiling face, I suddenly transformed into Holiday Mode.

Golf footwear is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated (and underappreciated) pieces of equipment in any golfer’s arsenal. Often, a golfer will buy a pair of golf shoes with far less consideration than they will with, say, their choice of ball or driver, etc. But when you think about it, the footwear is […]

For all of the distraction, doubt and ridicule he endured throughout the past several months, Rory McIlroy always stayed true to himself. That wasn’t always the case.
