This week on the Your Golf Performance Podcast, I sit down with PGA Professional and Head Teaching Professional art Long Reef Golf Club, Michael Infanti. Michael's coaching philosophy is simple: "Simplicity is Key." After completing his PGA traineeship at Penrith Golf Club and spending time playing professional golf, he found his true passion in coaching. Since joining Long Reef Golf Club in 2016, Michael has built one of the strongest junior and women's golf programs on Sydney's Northern Beaches while helping golfers of all levels improve their games. In this episode, we discuss:Why simplicity is so important when coaching golfThe biggest mistakes club golfers makeWhat separates elite players from the average golferBuilding confidence and improving performance on the golf coursePractice habits that actually lead to improvementLessons learned from coaching beginners through to elite playersWe also dive into Michael's incredible personal story. Over the past decade, Michael has battled T-LGL Leukemia, and just 12 months ago was diagnosed with stomach cancer that rapidly progressed to Stage 4. After intensive chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and major surgery that saw his entire stomach and part of his bowel removed, Michael is now cancer-free and in remission. His story is one of resilience, perspective, gratitude, and determination. Michael shares the challenges he faced, the mindset that carried him through the toughest moments of his life, and how the experience has changed the way he approaches golf, coaching, and life itself. This is a powerful conversation about golf, adversity, and finding purpose through life's biggest challenges.

The southeastern shores of Australia are famous for gorgeous beaches, whale watching, and sunny holiday vibes, but in late 1994, the people of Sydney's Northern Beaches were shocked by two horrific crimes. It began with a 34-year-old landscape gardener, Stephen Dempsey, who went missing after an impromptu stop at the Deep Creek Reserve. Months later, a gentle father of seven and taxi driver, Ezzedine Bahmad, was brutally murdered during a late-night shift. Police were left with two separate mysteries until a gruesome discovery in the waters of Pittwater broke both cases wide open. The clues led investigators straight to a 21-year-old local predator and a secret inside a refrigerator. Join Jen & Cam as they discuss "Natural Born Killer: The Murders of Stephen Dempsey & Ezzedine Bahmad."

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Our Byron Community, Chris sits down with Mel McPherson for a deeply personal conversation about adventure, reinvention, creativity, and finding belonging.Growing up on Sydney's Northern Beaches before moving through Avoca and eventually Byron Bay, Mel reflects on the chapters that shaped her life — from boarding school and film school to working alongside legendary surf filmmaker Jack McCoy on Blue Horizon, and building a career behind the camera across television, surf films, adventure productions and international events.Mel also shares stories from her years competing in surf boat rowing, winning four Australian titles, and explains how surf club culture gave her a lifelong sense of community and connection.The conversation explores much deeper themes too — leaving behind the life she thought she was “supposed” to want, navigating heartbreak and major life changes, choosing a different path, and ultimately finding a place in Byron where individuality, creativity and intuition could thrive.Chris and Mel also dive into her passion for restoring old homes, including the remarkable transformation of a century-old abandoned farmhouse "Longfield" in the Byron hinterland that many locals knew as the “haunted house on the hill.”An honest, thoughtful and inspiring conversation about trusting intuition, embracing change, and creating a life that feels truly authentic.

This week Nicola and Di chat with inspiring storyteller John Fuje. John is a First Nations man with a deep connection to storytelling culture and country. He works in environmental services as a senior coordinator, and is an AI and drone technology specialist, using these tools in practical ways to help track sharks, turtles and other marine life along the coastline. The amazing thing about John is the way he blends thousands of years of indigenous wisdom about country and Mother Nature, with the most modern AI tools to find new ways of looking after our planet. John is also a devoted husband, father and grandfather with so much love for his family. Nicola and Di were introduced to John when he was brought in to spot sharks on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. After inviting him for what they thought would be a 20 minute coffee, which turned into 2 hours, they decided that everyone needed to hear John’s stories. In this episode we hear the incredible story of how John was able to combine his deep knowledge of country with drone technology that would help him track the movements of sharks and other marine life. We ask him about the recent increase in shark attacks along Sydney’s coastline, and whether there are more sharks in the water - John’s answer may surprise you! We talk about the power of Mother Nature in grounding us and reminding us how connected we all are. The way John talks about his connection with nature is mesmerising and we were captivated by his stories. We loved having John in the studio with us and it was so wonderful to hear the beautiful and refreshing perspective that he shares. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.

Commercial property isn't just real estate… it's strategy.

Former Prime Minister Dame Jacinda Ardern is now living across the Tasman. A spokesperson for Ardern says the family has been travelling for a few years now and for the moment they're basing themselves out of Australia. The statement says they have work there, and it brings the added bonus of more time back home in New Zealand. Australian correspondent Murray Olds says this follows weeks of speculation about Ardern house-hunting in the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

Australia Day Weekend 2026 saw the coming together of many INXS fans and patrons of this show for a special commemoration of what would have been Michael Hutchence's 66th birthday. It was a fantastic bus trip commencing from the iconic Northern Beaches in Sydney.  Attendees were greeted with a video acknowledgment from the sax god Kirk Pengilly and recent podcast guest Gary Grant (Former Tour Manager). We proceeded to famous INXS landmarks such as Clontarf Beach (the "Stay Young" video landmark), a Brookvale Industrial building where they rehearsed and gigged in 1979 and the Intercontinental Hotel where we lost Michael. Later that night, it went straight to the Dee Why RSL for the fantastic Don't Change The Ultimate INXS Tribute Show gig, in front of over 650+ passionate, proud and energetic fans to witness 30 blistering tracks, including one Midnight Oil song paying tribute to the recent passing of drummer Rob Hirst. With the DC Boys paying homage to the 40th anniversary of Listen Like Thieves, the band proceeded to play the entire album plus 19 other songs from Underneath the Colours through to the X album. Big shoutout to all those who contributed and won their respective raffle prizes, and to all those who contributed to a great weekend and Bee's tireless efforts. Finally, with a chunky news section catching up on fascinating INXS updates, it's also an opportunity to share some major changes to our podcast.  You'll need to stay tuned until the “final wrap” to find out.

2026 — the Year of the Horse. In this episode, I had the good fortune of sitting down with Stephanie De Lander (@stephdelander). Steph is a professional wrestler on the world circuit — an absolute weapon and an even better human. We cover a lot of ground, but Steph's story is a standout: originally from the Northern Beaches of Sydney she's chased her dreams to the US, and finally getting signed by WWE and TNA, and fully embracing the wild ride that comes with it. I love talking to people who follow the white rabbit of intuition —  throw caution to the wind and let the chips lay where they may (to rip a quote from True Romance). Steph embodies that energy. She's an absolute legend, and I was stoked she agreed to come on for a chat — a two-for-one deal made even better by the fact she's recently married to Mance Warner, “The Southern Psycho”, https://stephdelander.bigcartel.com/ Hope you enjoy the chat
