TV Guide: Holey Moley on Seven

On Channel Seven’s Holey Moley, Australia’s most skilled and passionate golfers will come from across the land to take on the most epic mini golf course ever created, but only a new breed of contender will survive this competition.

Legendary golfer Greg Norman, presenter Sonia Kruger, American actor/comedian Rob Riggle, and broadcaster Matt Shirvington will host Holey Moley, taking audiences through the toughest mini golf competition on the planet.

In the first round of each episode, eight players compete in a series of head-to-head matchups. Only the four winners go through to the second round of Holey Moley to battle it out.

Those who are victorious head straight to the final hole. The remaining two compete in the Distractor Duel for the last spot in the final three-way battle.

The ultimate winner of each episode takes home the prestigious plaid jacket, the golden putter, and books a spot in the Grand Final where they will compete for the chance to win $100,000 on the daunting last hole, the Tomb of Nefer-Tee-Tee.

The contestants come from every walk of life. Some of the Holey Moley contestants currently play golf professionally – like Montanna Strauss, Kristalle Blum, and Becky Kay. Others used to play professionally, like Jasmine Finlay and James Carr. 

However, most people on the course are a mix of people who love just love to play golf. Some own golf clubs, some are weekend warriors, and some are people who just want to give it a crack. As Brie, a 24-year-old contestant who manages a golf club says: “Just bash it!” is my usual style of play, both on a golf and mini golf course. I do try to use a bit of physics to see if I can use my trick shot knowledge to pull off some of the “hero” shots. But generally, I just hit and hope!"
