Brendan Moloney covered golf at home and around the world. He is one of the few remaining writers to experience the tail end of the good times in Australia and watch the sad decline of the game and newspapers that had already begun when he decided to quit the Melbourne newspaper The Age in 1993.

   In 16 years on the paper, he reported on 15 'major' championships and other big events in the United States, Britain, Japan, New Zealand, Europe and Asia.

   He has written a dozen books on golf, is a life member and past president of the Australian Golf Writers Association, and in 2018 he was inducted into the Victorian Golf Hall of Fame.

   In these memoirs he looks back affectionately on four decades of golf that often made us laugh, occasionally cry and sometimes left us dumbfounded.
