Replacing the bat with a golf club, Head once again stole the show as he sunk the remarkable putt at a Blitz Golf event at Adelaide\u2019s Kooyonga Golf Club.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old celebrated the shot by raising both arms to the air and then blowing kisses to his fans as he soaked up the applause.<\/p>\n

A video emerged on social media of the Australian cult hero producing a perfect putt which had just enough pace to get over an incline and sharply broke right to drop into the hole to a rapturous reception by the crowd.<\/p>\n

Head, who was instrumental in Australia\u2019s dominance in the Ashes, smashing 629 runs across the course of the five tests and secured the player of the match honours in the fifth Ashes test, appeared relaxed and completely at home on the golf course.<\/p>\n

It comes as a host of test cricketers are available for Big Bash<\/a> League duties. Alex Carey, Mitch Starc, Beau Webster and Steve Smith are set to return for their respective clubs.<\/p>\n

Carey will be a welcome return to the Adelaide Strikers\u2019 side after they went down to the Hobart Hurricanes by 37 runs on Friday night.<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes will be bolstered by Webster\u2019s return while Ashes heroics Starc and Smith will be handy returns to the Sydney Sixers in the coming days.<\/p>\n

Dominant with both bat and ball across the Ashes series for Australia, Starc was awarded the Compton-Miller Medal as player of the series after taking 31 wickets and making 156 runs across the five Tests.<\/p>\n
