I'm heading to Sydney in April and was curious what are some good courses to play?

Thanks

No. But I've heard below the equator, slice spin makes your ball hook, and hook spin makes your ball slice. After you go, let us know if that's true.

I've played the Lakes which is really close to the Sydney airport and very good. They've hosted the Australian open a few times.

I'd bone up on my bunker play and get familiar with the metric system. That's all I've picked up watching various tournaments from Australia.

Rough calculation is add 10% to all of their listed metric distances to get yardage

New South Wales golf club is supposed to be awesome.


It's open to visitors on weekdays.

I still can't get past the fact you used "golf" as a verb.

I played with a guy one day from Sweden. He would do the math from yards to meters for every shot after I shot the yardage for him. He was mad that he left his range finder with meters at home that day.

Don't they all have a button to switch to meters? I know mine does.

My son fiddled with my range finder and got it set to meters. I didn't realize that it even had metric.

I air mailed 3 greens in a row before I figured it out.

Simple....if it's 140 meters, add 14 to get yards. If it's 200 meters, add 20 and will give you 220 yards. It's not exact, but it's closer than most people can judge it.

Shouldn't the opposite have occurred?
