Saltbush Downs Open Golf Classic
Deep in the sun-blasted desert of Outback South Australia lies Saltbush Downs Golf & Country Club. Dedicated to the Royal and Ancient game, it is an oasis of sporting civilization with a championship golf course and majestic corrugated iron clubhouse. How did it come to be?
This rollicking rock music-comedy farce follows the almost unbelievable story of country golf in the saltbush sun.

He had eight scripts produced in the 1980’s. He also worked as a junior golf professional, U/21 State golfer/ Simpson Cup and pennant player. Thanks to Covid isolation finally the script he has been planning for years has been completed and drafted for a brand new musical comedy-satire using the theme of golf in The Outback.
