Congratulations Curtis Luck

Congratulations Curtis Luck. For those of you who don't know, Curtis is a young West Australian amateur golfer who has just won the most prestigious amateur event in the world - the US Open.

I sat riveted to the television set as he won in brilliant style, 5 up. His father was on the bag, his mum was there to watch. How proud they must be of Australia's latest golfing sensation. That's the good news. The bad news? Comments by Golf Australia's High Performance Director Brad James. Hang your head in shame, no, better than that, resign Brad James, from Golf Australia, for the most disengenuos tweet about this result. Just because Curtis didn't fit Brad James's mould and was not part GA's High Performance program is no excuse for the comments made by James.How many others has James and GA High Performance rejected, who may "prove them wrong"? Disgraceful actions. James must go and this just proves that GA's HP program needs a major overhaul.
