"I'm hoping to make it for the opening."
/Thanks to reader who spotted this post on The Golf Forum. Apparently a Herald-Sun piece on golf included this list (not available online):
'In one of the centre spreads, [Robert] Allenby lists his top five favourite golf courses'
1 - Royal Melbourne (Sandringham)
2 - Augusta National (Georgia)
3 - St Andrews Links (Fife)
4- The Forest Resort (Creswick)
5 - Riviera Country Club (Pacific Palisades)
I couldn't help but notice the explanatory paragraph for number 4 on the list
"It's in this list because I've just designed it. I based it on Royal Melbourne. I can't wait to play it. I'm hoping to make it for the opening. It's about an hour's drive from Melbourne, near Ballarat, just a lovely part of the world."
I'm constantly astounded by the devotion of these players architects!
