A country that loves a drink almost never drinks on the golf course. That's not temperance — that's the whole story. In this episode of The Bag Drop: Untold Stories in Golf , host Matt Considine and co‑host Dr. Kevin Moore (a.k.a. “The Professor”) sit down with Scott Warren (New South Wales Golf Club member and co-host of the Australian Golf Passport podcast) to explore what Americans get right and badly wrong about Australian golf — and why the difference comes down to a single word: competition.
