How good is the conditioning of Gunna?! Brand new carpet like.

Can't get enough of the fescue collars.

Take it first off at Nash then arvo tee time at longy?

Spot on. Got chewed up on the Old as is standard for me. I tend to prefer more traditional links style golf.

Incredible

Birthday boy Jon Rahm hits pond-skipping hole-in-one in Masters tune-up at Augusta

Jon Rahm doesn't know if he's used up all his good luck before the Masters — but the Spanish star has stunned everyone with his second hole-in-one during a week of practice at Augusta.

www.abc.net.au

That's just annoying. I would like to go at close to getting a hole in one someday and then he can get one like that

that is his second ace in practice this week lmao.

Isn’t that part of the old Royal Melbourne?

Sandy Links is a brand new design - all the old Sandringham public holes are no more.

And for the record none of the old Sandringham public holes were ever Royal Melbourne holes. One of the great sandbelt urban myths!

 

[Pres]

Can't wait to have a hit on it! Is it the old front nine that is open atm? and are the holes framed as they were?

Sorry Scrappy - just saw your post. All Sandy Links holes are new holes. Everything has been redesigned.

How did you score on the old?

love the old course!

Had 9 at the turn before I woke up

Given the proximity to royal melbourne, does it have a similar vibe? Greens as fast etc? We truly are spoiled here in Melbourne (when we can drive >25kms)

9 holes just finished, lightning thunder, rain, humidity
Awesome
Started
Double
Double
Bogey
Then
6 pars

Clearly need a 3hole warm up

The similarities are primarily in the rock hard greens and fescue approaches.

Whilst being firm the greens are quite slow which makes sense when you are trying to get full fields of public golfers around. They look pristine though.

There is some very nice sandbelt style bunkering in place so all up it does give you a small taste of the RMGC experience.

How long before they have the full 18 back?

National Old is strictly for masochists. The most penal golf course in Victoria.

I think they're saying by end October. Looks like a couple of nice holes out there on the second 9. Double green on one.

I'm heading up to the Mornington Peninsula in a few weeks for a Monday-Wednesday mini break. Would like to play courses like Eagle Ridge, Flinders, maybe a couple of others.

For those around the area, do I need to book in advance this far out? Or can I wait til a couple of days out. I don't want to miss out on a tee-time, but at the same time I don't want to book now to find that on the day I've booked at 3pm in 38 degrees or I've booked a morning that's 20mm rain and storms.

Any advice?

Most of these places would have online bookings. Maybe check out what they have left for early next week to give you idea of how far in advance you will need to book

 

[hawkman]

I've got a week off coming up and was thinking of doing something similar to that.

What is everyone's thoughts on the best courses to play? Was thinking St Andrews Beach, Cape Schanck, The Dunes. Where else would be best? I would probably try and get 5-6 rounds in over a 7 day period

I'm only about an hour away, so will defintely play St Andrews one day, but I've been told it's quite challenging for the high handicapper so not sure I'm ready for that!

hehe you said penal.

Nah, my fave all time course. Just love it. The views, the vista, the ambience.

As others said call up and ask. Flinders is a private course but do allow guests on certain days.

you have to play st andrews. A doak course that is world known.

Not true, its playable for high handicappers, big wide fairways, must play

 

[hawkman]

Those are the best kind of courses where the challenge is more about getting it on the green rather than keeping on the fairway. Makes it playable for everyone

Stunning to look at but I personally find the Moonah and Gunna far more enjoyable to play.

Gunna.......boring off the tee. Greens great. Moonah is just enjoyable in every facet of the game
How did you go the other day (old and long island)?

 

[PaddyMcClunkin]

I think its a tad harsh calling the Gunna boring off the tee. Almost always preferable parts of the fairway to hit and the wind always plays on the mind with driver in hand.
Moonah is the best of the 3 in my opinion balancing the better parts of both courses somewhat.
Didn't go in the comp just some casual matchplay with a friend. (A loss on the old and a win at LI)

 

[Dhoni Dakurri]

Got a club fitting session tomorrow. Actually kind of nervous about it...don’t want to hit it like s**t.
