Did they fly commercial, James?

I would link the article that Geoff Roach wrote in yesterday's Adelaide Advertiser (Murdoch paper) but it doesn't appear on-line.
The guy was Dr Peter White, an Adelaide GP.
He and his brother 'hired' clubs in Sydney and Melbourne, to avoid potential baggage delays. So, I think they took commercial flights.
They did walk all three rounds (as you would expect).
Reciprocal arrangements were used, as 'Royal' members.
They used iridisecent golf balls for the first 8 holes at Royal Sydney.
A daughter transferred them to Mascot for a 9am flight to Melbourne.
Then a chaufeur hire car (not a taxi) to Royal Melbourne, for a 50 minute drive (20 minutes less than planned).
RM provided a packed lunch, and a 'marshall' who parted the sea of players on the West (remember - the East course is out of play for fairway work and Doak's changes on the outer paddock).
Plenty of time left for a 4.30pm flight to Adelaide, and on the first tee at RA by 5.55pm (6.25pm Melbourne time).
Last putt was holed at 8.45pm, just as final twilight was disappearing.
Not bad for a Saturday's golf!
