The tournament also serves as a reminder of just how well he swings the golf club.<\/p>\n
In the field are a number of players Blewett has gone head-to-head while playing the elite amateur Interstate Series, representing South Australia.<\/p>\n
Those players include Hannah Green\u2019s husband and fellow professional Jarryd Felton, four-time Aussie Tour winner Dimi Papdatos, and former QLD PGA champion Aaron Wilkin.<\/p>\n
Blewett, who plays out of Kooyonga Golf Club in Adelaide, competed in the state vs state series in 2012 \u2014 a year which saw the Queensland side feature a young Cameron Smith, while Western Australia\u2019s team included NZ Open winner Ryan Peake, and women\u2019s major winners Minjee Lee and Hannah Green..<\/p>\n

Despite that elite company, Blewett has always credited Ponting, who nine-time golf major winner Gary Player once told was wasting his time with cricket, as the better golfer.<\/p>\n
But the gun amateurs have now cleared the stage in Willunga for the pros, which include Order of Merit leader Josh Armstrong returning to action after missing the WA Open to attend his sister\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n
There is also Jasper Stubbs, who sits fourth on the season long points list, which awards the winner a card on the DP World Tour.<\/p>\n
Stubbs is set to compete against his sister and fellow pro Piper in the unique format, with the former Asia-Pacific Amateur Champion in a rich vein of form having finished third in Kalgoorlie, and runner-up to James Marchesani at last week\u2019s WA Open.<\/p>\n

AND ON THE CRICKET…<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, while playing alongside pros Steffi Vogel and Jak Carter, as well as his radio co-host and Adelaide Crows legend Andrew Jarman, Blewett also talked cricket, including the decision for Australia to go without Nathan Lyon in the second test.<\/p>\n
Adding of Lyon\u2019s omission in favour of Scott Boland: \u201cI didn\u2019t mind that. Obviously, a lot of weather around, and, I mean, the cricket that I\u2019ve seen, the ball hasn\u2019t got off the straight with the spinners anyway.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know a lot of people are sort of arcing up, but I think you\u2019ve just got to try and pick the best team for the conditions, and that\u2019s what they thought, yeah, no problems for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blewett also had some simple advice for the Australian batters in South Africa, which unfortunately came too late after they capitulated on day four to put the three-Test series in the balance. <\/p>\n
\u201cI reckon it\u2019s pretty similar to batting in Australia. I really do,\u201d Blewett said of playing in South Africa. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s not that much of an adjustment, really, so it\u2019s just, like, anywhere, get off to a good start, and then if you get in, try and make the most of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Safe to say the 54-year-old is a fairly good source of knowledge on the matter, having recorded his best ever Test score of 214 against the South Africans at Pretoria in 1997.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Back in Australia after commentary duties in South Africa \u2014 a trip that disappointingly didn\u2019t include any golf…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":937541,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-937540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/937540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=937540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/937540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/937541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=937540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=937540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=937540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
