Holes that aren’t holes. 6 tee at Paraparaumu to 3 green. 200y. Or a short 4 to 15 green behind.

A look at our 8th hole on the eighth day of the month. Doglegging around the out of bounds, playing over the road to a green sunken in the dunes.

That’s a wrap on the 100th year at the #MarquetteGolfClub
A massive success with perfect weather all the way to the end. Thanks to everyone that played our courses this year
I closed out the season in the dark with a round on the L&M Loop draining a 30 foot putt for par #Magical

@gmcgovern128 @DeVriesDesigns @meadow1927 Yes indeed. Have seen some "interim" photos.

@mikeclaytongolf @AriBrisbane @TomWatsonPGA Richie was waxing lyrical about your ability to rip it last night.

[The Addington @TheAddingtonGC]

Through the trees and down the 9th, whose green sits on the other side of the ravine, accessible only by bridge.

[Clayton, DeVries & Pont @cdpgolf1]

@gmcgovern128 @DeVriesDesigns @meadow1927 Guilty. Lukas took them a while back. Will refresh when we are next on site.

1966. Bob Stanton was 19. The Wills Masters was the second biggest tournament in Australia.
Arnold Palmer was the second best player in the world.
Bob beat him in a playoff.
18 years later he was 2nd to @TomWatsonPGA in the Aust Open at Royal Melbourne. Fabulous swinger.

Green aerification complete, Preventative SnowMold applications have been made, granular products put out & today the sand goes down on the #Greywalls putting surfaces
Toss in starting the construction of a new starter/halfway shack & it’s been a grinding 6 days! Lots more to do

Celebrations are now under way to commemorate Alister MacKenzie's visit to Australia exactly 100 years ago. This evening, a piper serenaded the 5th hole on Royal Melbourne's West course, the one hole he saw completed before he left.
