Apparently yesterday Tyrell Hatton had a Hole in one on 14th and was cursing himself for wasting it, only Tyrell could carry on like that :D

Course looks immaculate, so many more stands and drink/food vans appear more also, so hopefully they cope with the extra crowds and learn from last year.

You a volunteer?

Hopefully the crowds spread out through the course.


As Booney said, member of Grange. They only let Members in today, a little sweetener I think as originally nobody was allowed in.

The original deal was LIV four years in Adelaide, but only two confirmed at Grange. There is a vote of Members after if they want the Club to bid to host the next two years. I don’t think any of the other “big three” clubs have the area big enough to host, so Grange the only option.

But push by large group of Members to vote NO. Sick of the disruption. Basically two months affected with short holes, only 16 holes, or closed altogether and lots pi55ed off. Mine is 6 day member at $3600, so that’s $600 affected for instance.

Personally I think the positives the Club gets far outweigh the negatives and am all for keeping LIV here, but get the feeling it may be closer vote than I thought few months ago :shock:
Grange is the only club with enough space to accommodate the tournament setup.

Doesn't matter the club, there are always whingers. At West Lakes, people used to get irate about the club accepting weddings that included the ceremony near the 9th green, and therefore, for safety it was closed for the day. I played with the president at the time and he was complaining about the whingers. I responded with provided the competitors for the day were appropriately advised before they teed off.

Cracking day out there today, the GA stands on the watering hole are very good this year, literally standing within metres of people who have paid $600+

Stood behind 5th green for an hour or so before heading back towards 18.

Had to wait for Kozuma to punch out on the 9th and then saw Reeds approach. Think he ended on thr green, but the wizzzzz his ball made was electrifying.

At the 18th got near the walkway on the fence, literally next to mito shot behind the bush... he wasn't happy and let out a few choices e words... :lol:

Watching the crowd walk up the 18th was quite a daunting sight... :shock:
