On Sunday, the clubhouse of the Greg Norman-designed Eastern Golf Club in Yering, Australia, caught fire and was completely consumed by flames that could be seen for more than 30 miles. Around two o’clock local time, 80 first responders, 25 emergency vehicles, and dozens of firefighters battled the blaze.
Unconfirmed sources state that the clubhouse’s 20 to 30 occupants were all safely evacuated shortly after the clubhouse caught fire due to a golf cart battery explosion. Thankfully, there were no reported injuries. The news was shared on Shark Norman’s Instagram stories.
While the situation is under control now, the loss of a world-class course is sure to hit golf aficionados hard. The feeling will be shared by its designer, Aussie great Greg Norman, who has made a career out of creating new golf courses across the world.

Things are taking a turn for Norman
Last month, the shark posted a story about his real estate endeavor on Instagram. Australian nationals can rent homes from the company, known as Norman Estates. The homes combine a bit of contemporary with a touch of nature, taking on a combination of snug and elegant as they have all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay.
While it’s an extension of Norman’s life after golf, his duties as LIV Golf CEO have been under scrutiny. Indeed, every facet of the billion-dollar merger with the PGA Tour has been called into question as a possible prolongation of the deferral spreads.

The businessman from Australia’s situation does not appear favorable given that the merger’s preliminary plans have mostly overlooked him. However, Norman has been able to unwind thanks to his constant belief in the league’s vision, and his other businesses that keep his account flowing.
