Watching Luke win his Majors is the reason I got into Golf, he Inspired me and a nation, ask him. See thats Humour boys just in case a few are not too sure :)

If you break 100, watch your golf. If you break 80, watch your business.

yep,
you’re funny as bro
Not

Chilli take chill pill mate.
Elvy may be annoying at times but he clearly has a passion for the game.
He is enthusiastic and is out there getting all the experience he can to become a better commentator.
Most players enjoy talking to him coz he gets a genuine thrill out of interacting with them.
How many majors have u won Chilli?

at least its not Feherty, pffffft…..............

Next Peter Donegan????. Think Grades would think a young Doddy 10 years back was pretty good when you see these clowns.Trying way too hard to be humourous, as young guys do.

Elvy shits me

Maybe a a major dick pulling comp?

It sounds like that Luke Elvy is back in the booth at the Aust PGA. Why do we have to listen to him and his crap. Spoils the golf and I forget now many Majors he won ? Oops sorry is that None….but he talks like he won many.

If you break 100, watch your golf. If you break 80, watch your business.

Wow…Did he shag your sister? Or your mum? You’ve really got it in for Elvis….He has a great knowledge of the Tour & i’m all for him heading up the telecast.

I cant wait for him to set up the Golf Channel here on Fox & have golf streaming 24/7.

Go get em Elvis!

Nailed it there MaxxOn. He can be over the top but at least he cares…and unlike a lot of tv personalities he doesn’t think he’s bigger than the players.

And he seems to be very well regarded by the players…he’s not some blow in who knows little about the game.

Hope chiilidip don’t read golf Australia website, Luke has a blog on there

I’ll take Elvy over Wayne Riley any day. As far as tools go, they don’t come any bigger than Riley – absolute sprocket.

Elvy’s awesome, radar too.
ibf the best
listened to grades ask the great white choker some interesting stuff today re long putters, rules and balls.

Australian golf telecasts certainly need some creditability! The aussie tour needs one promoter and one free to air network looking after all of our tournaments.Too many fucken different interests running our game here!!! Employ ian baker finch and frank nobilo to give us more creditability overseas! They could also be promoters and patrons of the events for us in the us! Talk our tracks up boys!! We need to package the nz and aussie senior open and then have our 4 big champs ( nz open, aus open, aus pga and australian masters) in the next few weeks! Give them invites into the snr events and then telecast the big 4 events!! These guys work with the big boys in the states!! We need swing analysis, better hole reveiws and some playing tips, etc! They could be assistant producers and maybe with a better production the networks could increase ratings, advertising and interest in our game!! In total 6 weeks work for them and still employ the old hacks, too!! We deserve better veiwing!!!

Did you see the idiot at The Lakes.Senior walks past the clubhouse after his final round and Luke Bloody Elvy puts his arms around Seniors shoulders and grins at Senior like a stupid Cheshire cat and Senior looks at him as if to say ” Who The F do you think you are”. It looked so awkward and embarassing. Well done Elvy !

If you break 100, watch your golf. If you break 80, watch your business.

Senior and Elvy know each other very well. When Elvy was in the states trying to get a break in the media over there this year Senior even had him as a guest at his place for a while.

Meanwhile you sit here and take potshots without having a clue.

Chilli Dill would suit you better.

From what I am aware, Elvy is a keen and handy golfer, and anyone hating that he has that job is probably just jealous.

I hadn’t listed much to any of the commentators over the weekend with the exception of Grady. I thought Elvy was okay, it was Riley that really got up my nose. Entirely disagreeable and insisting on contradicting every comment made by anyone else.

I did though enjoy his series of introductions to the various holes. Dropping a ball to show the fall off from a fairway or a green really helped to show what the players had to deal with in planning their shot.

Well said Shanks, humour seems to be frowned upon on here by some

Humour isn’t frowned upon at all… you’re just not funny!

Yeah I thought they were well done as well. A bit more interesting than the standard fly-over.

Elvis’s view on 2013.

Luke Elvy blog: the 2013 bucket list

The beginning of every new year brings change for us all. If the previous year was a success, it’s normal to want things to continue, if it wasn’t then you want things improve.

2012 was a difficult year for Australian golf so hope becomes the overriding emotion. Hope for more success on the international stage, hope for better coverage in the media and hope for a boost to the entire industry.

One thing would take care of all that in an instant – a Green Jacket – but we’ve been hoping for that for decades.

We’ve come so close a few times, if you go deep in your mind you can actually see Greg Norman slipping it on as the sun sets over Augusta National. Even Adam Scott and Jason Day can say they put an arm in each before Charl Schwartzel ripped it right out of their hands.

The reality is we can’t simply hope for things to improve, we need to take action and make them happen. That’s the secret to success and why winners win. It’s a formula, which has been proven for centuries.

It’s why Greg Norman carved divots out of the range at Royal Queensland as a trainee professional, to the point where the members had him banned because there was no grass left.

It’s why Adam Scott, who was already winning tournaments and making millions a year, made the conscious decision to change to ensure he became a constant contender in majors.

It’s why Karrie Webb, continues to be our dominant female player long after she achieved all those incredible results which saw her inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2005.

So what can Australia do to return to the all-conquering golf nation it once was and will be again? First step is to believe its possible. The next, is to change the mindset that our best days are behind us.

It’s why Geoff Ogilvy packed up his family from their beautiful home in San Diego at the tail end of last year and relocated back to Whisper Rock in Scottsdale, Arizona. It’s where he was living and playing when he had major success between 2006-2010 and why he’s given up the cushy life by the beach so he can return to winning big.

But all these examples are about elite players. What about you and me, the common golfer? What can we do to improve the state of the game in Australia? The answer is the same… take action to make it better.

I don’t have all the answers but here are some suggestions that will help…

1. Pump funds into the Australian golf industry… Buy that driver/set of clubs you’ve always wanted or get some lessons with a registered PGA Professional or better still organise a golf trip to one of our many outstanding destinations (they’re world class, trust me!)

2. Grow the game at a community level… Help your club or favourite course by staging a variety of events (golf or non-golf related, it doesn’t matter) to make it more attractive to others to join or play more often. The more, the merrier.

3. Go and watch generation next… Just because our Big 3 have been run and won it doesn’t mean the summer of golf is over. All the major Amateur events are on over the next few weeks, these are the same tournaments which Jason Day, Rickie Fowler and Jake Higginbottom have won in recent years (check golfaustralia.org.au for scheduling).

The ALPG season is on through January and February and the calibre of golf is brilliant. Remember the six-way playoff Jessica Korda won to claim the Women’s Australian Open at Royal Melbourne last year? It’s the same tour which saw Yani Tseng became World No.1 and where Lydia Ko announced herself to the world before she announced herself to the world. You get to see the best of the best before the rest of the world does!

Also the 2013 PGA Tour of Australasia begins in Victoria next week with many of our aspiring stars in action, including Australian PGA champion Daniel Popovic. There’s a hundred stories just like his waiting to be told. Take it as gospel, the guys playing in these events are better than the best player at your club… with interest!

And finally…

4. Embrace women and kids… If you have a controlling interest in the game in this country at either local, state or national level then do absolutely everything in your power to make the game more attractive and accessible to these two often overlooked groups. It baffles me that this is still an issue in this day and age.

Seriously, fix it!

While some might argue golf has been on the decline in Australia for the past decade, it can and certainly will flourish again. It just needs all of us to pitch in and do our little bit – for the sake of the game.

That way we don’t have to hope for anything – good things happen.

Sounds like some-one who cares without trying

I think Elvy cops more bad flack than he deserves. I don’t exactly love the bloke, but he obviously loves the game and is just trying his best to make a career in the sport.

He fully admits he would have loved to have been a pro but didn’t have the game for it.
