Good Bye for now Australia, it’s been a thrill to be here! Ending where it started six weeks ago at New South Wales GC.
It seemed like Days 47 & 48 really were blended into one day. Playing golf on the Gold Coast at RACV Royal Pines in the morning, then driving through the night south returning for the second time to Sydney for the last full day in Australia of the ‘Golf Journey to Australia & New Zealand.’
What a day it was meeting with Australian professional golf legend Ken Nagle and two long term golf professionals David Mercer and John Holiday. After a nap I ventured down to the New South Wales Golf Club to say my good byes to golf in Australia. It seemed fitting to me that where it began six weeks ago would be where it ended… for now. Then I stopped by the home of Dan Cullen to say hello and good bye… for now. Since I last saw him he turned 100 years old and looks better than ever. What a great spirit this young man has!
Posting this in the Sydney Airport just before boarding a flight to Queenstown, New Zealand to start the ‘Golf Journey to New Zealand.’
Good Bye Australia, the golf courses, the golf tournaments and especially the people I have met.
I had the time of my life and look forward to returning one day soon.
With sympathy for the loss of the life of cricketer Phil Hughes and the heroic lives of Katrina Dawson and Tori Johnson at Martin Place in Sydney.
THANK YOU for everything!
