With another week wrapped and yet another State of Origin series going to the Maroons, we’re very much looking forward to diving into the weekend and leaving the last seven days behind us. Part of our healing process consists of another instalment of Staff Favourites, where we share some of the things that have brought us joy of late in the hope that they might do the same for you!
This week, we have stuff for golfers, musicians, Squid Game fanatics, and more. Let’s get into it.
PrimePutt Putting Green
Sctt Purcell – Co-Founder
I just got back from the annual boys golf trip and if there’s anything I need to work on its my putting. I scored over 25 Stableford points on the front 9 (albeit with a massive handicap) but there were still plenty of holes that I managed to three putt. For those counting, I ended up with total points of just 27 so I did horribly on the back 9. Returning home with my head in my hands, I decided it was time to invest in a premium indoor putting mat that is crafted to deliver a professional experience from the comfort of your home, or in our case the office. The product comes recommended by a bunch of PGA golfers who say: “The quality of the mat and how it rolls feels just like the PGA turf.” But me being a crappy golfer means that I wouldn’t know, so I’ll take their word for it.
It’s available in varying sizes and has a true roll guarantee, meaning it will lie flat within minutes on carpet, timber or concrete. The surface is a tour-grade US-made nylon that replicates freshly mowed grass. At the back you’ll find a hardwood backstop, and it includes a groove to store balls.

Tyler Sherwin Virtual Magic Shows
Frank Arthur – Co-Founder
Tyler Sherwin’s Instagram reels are my latest rabbit hole. His virtual magic shows have catapulted him to social-media stardom, thanks to an eccentric blend of humour and clever sleight-of-hand. Decked out in flamboyant costumes and armed with quirky props, he pops into random Omegle chats and leaves strangers in hysterics. Their whiplash of shock, awe and the occasional “WTF?” is half the fun. Each routine follows a familiar beat, regular viewers feel the tension build, but for his live audience, the reveal lands like a bombshell. It’s silly, clever and completely addictive.

The Squid Game Experience at Luna Park
John Guanzon – Head of Creative & Production
Fresh off bingeing Squid Game Season 3 (in one sitting), I thought it’d be a great idea to relive the trauma in real life. To kick off the school holidays, we spontaneously decided to head out to try the Squid Game: The Experience at Luna Park Sydney for some good old-fashioned family trauma bonding. To be brutally honest, I was expecting the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience, but boy, was I mistaken! The immersive sets were spot-on, the actors were great, and the challenges were surprisingly intense. I nearly got eliminated trying to retrieve my bib from a claw machine, flopped at the memory bridge, and got sniped mid-selfie during Red Light, Green Light. Meanwhile, my five-year-old absolutely blitzed it. I posted a TikTok of her on my personal page, outlasting most of the room, and, somehow, it’s now sitting at 2.3 million views and counting. It’s chaotic, clever, and unhinged in the best way. 222 out of 456, would recommend!

Fender Player II Modified Telecaster
Rob Edwards – Branded Content Editor
For the last few weeks, we’ve had Fender’s Player II Modified Telecaster keeping our office couch warm. Throughout that time, it’s been beckoning for team members to come over and tinker when we get a spare minute, making those who do look cooler in the moment than we have any right to.
Taking a classic guitar and giving it a modern spin, the Player II Modified Tele boasts a “C”-profile neck with a satin urethane finish and a one-piece maple fingerboard with smooth rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets. The playability this offers, alongside the maximum tonal flexibility of two noiseless pickups and a push/pull switch on the tone control, makes this a guitar that pairs iconic, old-school looks with a sonic and tactile experience that has contemporary players in mind.
