Having sampled what's in store for fans, English favourite Andrew Johnston has called on more tournaments to follow the lead of the Australian PGA Championship's newest innovation on the Gold Coast.
The man known as 'Beef' has earnt a following for his entertaining ways on course and love of a quality cut of steak and a beverage off it.
It's the svelte version that has arrived at Royal Pines this week though, after boxing sessions with heavyweight champion Dillian Whyte helping him cut more than 20kg from his figure.
After shouting a round of beers and pies on Wednesday, Johnston put his feet up at a revamped 13th hole will feature an artificial beach, DJ and plenty of rowdy fans from Thursday.
Players will even have the option to request a song when walking up the par-3 in a party hole concept taken from the ultra-popular 16th at TPC Scottsdale during the PGA Tour's Phoenix Open.

"I think it's brilliant, I'm always up for ideas like that," he said.
"It gets more people involved, gives them a day out.
"If you want to go somewhere with your friends and they say we can sit on 16 and there's a DJ here, beach here, we're going to have some fun.
"All of us should be open to it, give it a go."
The 28-year-old said it took a while for his true self to come out on tour but now doesn't hold back.
"Something stupid will just happen naturally," Johnston said when asked if he had any sort of celebrations in mind.
"You want to stand up and make birdies and get the crowd going; it's good fun and I think most of the guys relish it, enjoy it."
Johnston will partner defending champion Cameron Smith and fellow Australian young gun Curtis Luck in the first round of the $1.5 million event and isn't promising anything after a new coach brought with it some changes to his swing.
"I've had days where I hit the ball really well and play well, and other days where it's been sort of a bit average," he said.
"I'm not putting any pressure on myself, I'm just going to go out and play and enjoy it."
