The excitement was palpable this morning at the Kingston Heath Golf Course as Rebecca Judd, Australia’s beloved media personality and fashion icon, graced the arrivals for The 19th at the ISPS HANDA Australian Open Fan Experience. With her signature style and radiant smile, Bec kicked off the festivities, sharing her enthusiasm for the event, saying, ” I love golf, I’m obsessed with it and can’t stop thinking about hitting shots all day, I’ve been heading down to the driving range and getting lots of lessons, but what I’ve learned about golf is its going to take me years and years to master it but its super fun.”
Bec added, “coming down to The 19th at The Australian Open this weekend is going to be a lot of fun, bringing the kids, and watching incredible world class golf.
I’m looking forward to trying some great food and love Mr. Miyagi. There will also be D’J’s and great entertainment, no one does events quite like Melbourne.”
Joining her in the spotlight was Liquorland ambassador Nikki Phillips, culinary maestro MasterChef Michael Weldon, and Australian cricket sensation Glenn Maxwell, who proudly represents the Australian Open.
Nikki said, “the weather has turned it on today for us finally, it’s a great day to be here at the Liquorland Marquee right on The 19th, we have the front row and all the action right here. Liquorland has everything, you can sip on Champagne and indulge in fresh oysters, a touch of glamour and all the action.”
Bec also brought along her four adorable children, twins Tom and Darcy, daughter Billie, and her eldest son Oscar, who were ready to dive into the fun. The family took full advantage of the mini-golf activation, one of the many engaging offerings within the vibrant fan hub
