What’s Happened To The Von Nida Tour?
A check on the PGA of Australia website shows a distinct lack of information about the Von Nida Tour.
The News has stopped after the SA PGA Championship, and does not even mention the lack of upcoming events and what is actually happening with the tour. The Photo Galleries don’t show anything from this year either.
The West Australian Open, the Queensland Open and the Queensland PGA all appear to have been cancelled.
The Von Nida Tour has also lost at least four other events from a few years ago, including the Queensland Masters (held in Townsville), the Cairns Classic, the Toyota Southern Classic (Woolooware) and the Volvo Classic (Bonville near Coffs Harbour).

Bunker Shots End Up Short Of The Hole
Most high handicappers come up short out of greenside bunkers about 90% of the time.
This is the result of not accelerating the club through the sand - they get scared they will hit the ball to hard and fly over the green.
As you set up in the bunker, think in terms of striking the sand […]
Setting Goals
Most high handicappers set goals of breaking 100 or 90.
Instead of thinking in terms of breaking a particular score, set your goals around things like number of fairways hit, number of greens in regulation, number of sand saves, and number of putts.
As you practice to make yourself better in these things, your score will improve […]

Live scoring can be found at the […]
