Ash Barty: three-time Grand Slam champion, former world No. 1, proud mum… and now, apparently, golf course assassin? Yep, if recent sightings are anything to go by, the multi-talented Aussie has officially swapped the baseline for the back nine—and fans are teeing off with curiosity.
Spotted recently at a Queensland country club, Barty was seen wielding a driver like she was about to serve for match point. Spectators said she approached the tee box with the same poise she once showed at Wimbledon. One stunned onlooker reportedly asked, “Wait… is she about to win golf too?”
This isn’t just a hobby. This is Ash Barty we’re talking about. Of course she’s good at it. Rumors are swirling that her handicap is shrinking faster than her baby’s onesies, and fellow players claim her swing is so smooth, birds pause mid-flight to admire it.
“She hits the ball like she’s been doing it forever,” said one witness. “There was even backspin on her putt. I don’t know if that’s a tennis thing or just a Barty thing.”
Garry Kissick, ever the supportive partner, reportedly serves as unofficial caddy-slash-cheerleader, carrying both her clubs and the baby bag with equal pride. It’s a full family affair now: baby nestled in a shaded stroller while Ash casually chips onto the green like it’s just another Tuesday.
Let’s not forget—Ash has always been a bit of a sports chameleon. Cricket? She did that. Golf? Now she’s nailing that too. It’s only a matter of time before someone calls her up for Australia’s Olympic archery team or curling squad.
Fans online are predictably obsessed. “She retires from tennis and then becomes good at literally everything else?” one person tweeted. “She’s the Mary Poppins of sports—practically perfect in every game.”
And while Barty insists she’s just playing for fun, insiders say a few local golf pros have quietly inquired whether she’s open to competition. One even asked if she’d consider a charity match—though they may now be rethinking that after seeing her birdie a par-5 like it was child’s play.
So yes, that’s definitely a golf club in Ash Barty’s hand. And yes, she’s probably already better than your dad. Whether she’s wearing spikes or sneakers, Barty just can’t help winning. And honestly? We’re not even surprised anymore.
