Now either my geography is very poor or Australia has moved without me noticing! If so why does it take so long to get there from UK ??

Do you mean because the Australian Masters is described as a European Tour Event?

It is because it is a co-sanctioned event between the Australian and European Tours. There are many such tournaments co-sanctioned between the differernt tours worldwide including the PGA, European, Asian, Sunshine (S Africa) & Australia to name a few.

Have you looked at the link ??

It mentions Justin Rose won the Australian Open on the European Tour!!
Australia never used to be in Europe as far as I remember !!
Not even close.
Will they be entering the Eurovision Song Contest next perhaps ??

I knew walking around trying to hit a small ball into holes with a stick was a stupid waste of time!

A good walk spoilt, -as Mark Twain famously said, and if you play golf as badly as I do, itâ€™s a fair point.
