Par
or better here really is something to boast about because it is the longest
championship hole in Australia, measuring 624 yards on the old scale. Maybe
one day someone will get home in two but he will need a strong following wind.
A lake in front of the back tees and a big cluster of bunkers on the left
mark the start of this epic journey which follows a seemingly endless curve
to the right. The first sprinkler head with a distance marker, on the length
of a respectable drive, tells that there are another 324 metres to the centre
of the green. The second shot, although blind and long is fair and anything
following the centre of the fairway will stay out of trouble. A line of bunkers
cuts across the fairway about 90 metres from the green but the gap in the
centre is a good 60 metres wide.
