Time for the best courses of the year, the Australian Open...

Ive got the IBF disease - stuck underneath and on the inside on the way down which is no way to play - I'm afraid I cant blame the wind.
I watched Adam Scott yesterday and he hit the ball beautifully and high enough to carry it up over the big trees in the middle of the fairways on the back 9. Great short game too. Obviously his odds will be somewhat short but he is a wonderful player.

Mike,

Whats the story ? I just checked the tee times and no M Clayton. I thought you were playing ?

I agree with you on Adam Scott. he's in form and I guess he's played the course a bunch of times too. He is 12-1 odds.

Of the 5th, 11th, 12th, and 17th holes, which is (are) being converted from a par five to a long par four for the sake of the Oz Open?

For Norman not to play in his country's national Open is PATHETIC.

What are people's favorite features of The Grand?

I really like the fallaway 2nd green, the natural saddle that the 7th green sits in, the options available on the reachable 12th, the way the 13th green is 'glued' to the crest of the hill, the option riddled 15th, and finally its excellent Home hole.

Cheers,
