Why Australian Golfers are the Best!
You might think I am going to talk about someone like Greg Norman and how he took Australian golf to the world. Maybe Adam Scott as Masters champion
,
Jason Day re-emerging or Cameron Smith 
,
Cam Davis and Ming Woo Lee as the new breed of Australian golf stars? Check out the Travelers Championship 2023 Leaderboard – PGA TOUR
That’s an easy way to fill an article, but not who I am talking about.
If you are a golfer and reading this article, I am talking about you. Yes that’s right, we put out the call and Aussie golfers came through with the goods!
Let me explain.
Here at GolfSaleCentral.com.au we wanted to find out more about our readers, soon to be viewers (of our Youtube channel in the making) and our customers so we could give them, you, exactly what you want. We didn’t want to guess, assume or force our opinions on anyone.
That’s where the golfer’s survey found here at GolfSaleCentral.com.au/survey comes in.
The survey is designed specifically for golfers. Starting with what level of golfer you are, from the absolute beginner to the experienced low handicapper.
There are some basic questions about your golf equipment and what golf techniques and golf equipment you would like to know more about. But one question, in particular, unearthed some real gold!
The question is:
If you could go back, what tip would you like to give yourself as a beginner golfer?
This is the question that both surprised and heartened us here at GolfSaleCentral.com.au as it confirmed our thinking that while golf is an individual sport, the camaraderie and support shown by fellow golfers is alive and strong!
Here’s some examples of the responses we have received so far:
Andrew K. of Queensland, Australia uses Cobra golf equipment, Bridgestone balls and would like to see reviews on different putters. Andrew says –
“Start earlier, get lessons early, develop good habits.”
Mark R. from NSW, Australia uses TaylorMade golf equipment and is interested in see reviews on different wedges. Mark simply says –
“Hit smooth before hard.”
Chris M. also from NSW has a handicap below 20, uses TaylorMade equipment and would like to see more on set up for Driving. Chris would like to go back and tell himself –
“Slow Down your Back swing. Get a couple of Lessons from a Pro. Spend time at the Golf Driving Range getting your Swing right.”
Nathan V. uses Srixon golf equipment and balls, but would like to see reviews on Titleist drivers. Nathan, also an experienced golfer with a handicap below 20 (but working to lower further) suggests something that we all need to tell ourselves from time to time –
“Don’t go for massive distance. A straight tee shot is a quality to contain.”
All fantastic tips not just for the beginner, but for any golfer to keep in mind.
What was also interesting is that even advanced level golfers would like tips and to be shown techniques on many aspects of the golf game. Things like:
Bunker play. How to deal with various lies in bunkers, ie wet, dry, firm, fluffy, uphill, for longer or shorter carries.
Chipping, the full program, tight lies, uphill, downhill, you know the lies that most people struggle with, and putting, distance control the number 1 killer on all greens.
Bunker play and short game chip and pitch

More great questions that we will get our golf pro to demonstrate and answer shortly.
So what about yourself? Do you have tips and advice to share? Golf questions you would like answered or simply like to share what golf equipment you favour?
If so we would appreciate your feedback and invite you to visit GolfSaleCentral.com.au/survey and complete the golf survey like so many of your fellow golfers have already done!
