This is my favorite tournament of the year to watch, yes that means better than Masters or any other tourney. It could be a field full of 10 year olds and I would still watch it. The courses on the sandbelt just look SOOOOOO much better than the lush green grass courses you see in America. The fact that you gnarly unkempt rough that can provide sporadic lies, the slick hard greens, the fairways cut ridiculously tight right into the bunkers, the fast and firm conditions throughout the course, the beautiful trees, and possibly the best looking bunkers in the whole world are in the sandbelt. Any PGA tour golfer that has any interest in golf course architecture is stupid not to play in this tournament. I am hoping since the fields keep getting better that hopefully more tournaments in Australia are televised. Maybe we will see something like the Kiwi Challenge for Cape Kidnappers, down at Tasmania for Barnbougle Dunes, how cool would that be.
I am counting down the days for the 2011 Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne.
