GolfWA eNews - Curtis the champ!

Hello once again from GolfWA.
What a month!
We were over the moon when Royal Fremantle's Min Woo Lee won the US Boys Amateur, and now we're simply without words to describe how we feel after Cottesloe's Curtis Luck won the US Amateur -- all in the same week that Minjee Lee created history as WA's first Olympic golfer. Strap yourselves in, this is going to be quite an e-news!

Rules Corner: a non-moving moment

There's an important difference between a ball moving and a ball oscillating -- as we discovered during Curtis Luck's US Amateur final. Click here to read more.

Girls golf rises from the ashes to Rio

To celebrate the significance of the women's Olympic golf event, where Minjee Lee finished an impressive 7th, we took a trip down memory lane to see how much has changed since 1993, when WA failed to enter a team at the Girls' Interstate Series. Click here to read more.

Little WA hits the big time

When Min Woo Lee won the US Boys Amateur, the USGA called Perth "golf's new powerhouse".
When Curtis Luck won the US Amateur, he proved them right. Click here to read our feature that highlights what is so special about the WA golfing community.

Aussie girls shine in Rio

After a successful return to the Olympic Games, the golfing world waits in anticipation to see if its presence at the Olympics will be extended beyond 2020.
Ian Baker-Finch, Australia's team captain for the fortnight, couldn't be more in favour of golf's place at the Olympic Games.

9 News feature: Blind Faith

At the best of times, golf is an incredibly difficult game, yet those at the Australian Blind Golf Championships proved there is no obstacle that can't be overcome.
Channel Nine was on hand to cover the action at Collier Park.

Video: 2016 Aglime State Sand Greens
